Month end update!

 Well I almost let this month slide out of view. I hadn’t meant it to be so quiet but with the birth of two more granddaughters it’s all been a bit  hectic, but I promise I have been productive and I will post a few pics as teasers with more in the next update.

I finished the redoubt for the Bunker Hill game and have started painting more militia to garrison it, a few command bases to come as well.



Pendraken have announced quite a few new pieces are coming incl. militia artillery crew, naval landing party, amusette etc so lots more to look forward to.

I also got engrossed in a series of videos on you tube by the Crusty Colonel on his Dux Brittaniarum campaign now I knew already had some buildings, figures and the rules so a quick check in the loft and hey presto two forces assembled. I shall show all the figures next time! I’m using Forged in Battle for the Arthurians and Wiglaf minis with a few Splintered light for the Saxons….. now I know the Saxons are far later period but I like them and it’s my game.







The fort is from Forged in Battle and I think is excellent, really enjoyed painting this which of course means my campaign will be based in the North.

Finally I managed to pick up a collection of very well painted ‘epic’ ACW for not a lot of money from a gamer who has suddenly decided to give up, some 160 bases of infantry, 24 artillery bases and 40+ bases of skirmishers. No cavalry unfortunately (but I have some to paint) but quite a few Zouaves and some Iron Brigade. This acquisition coincided with me buying ‘With Hot Lead and Cold Steel’ a new set of ACW rules which after a cursory examination look interesting and I hope to get a game played next week, it even got me to pull some of 1995 purchases of these scenario books by George Anderson and Ryan Toews


So let’s see what transpires have a great Halloween and keep safe…
