Always a pleasure to catch up with @historianinharness.bsky.social at Warfare 2025. A sneak peek at the forthcoming rulebook and a chance to enjoy the enthusiasm that is infectious (oh and some lovely trebuchets too!).

The Camembert drug crazed French R35 camouflage pattern is sort of complete. Next are the decals once I work out what the hell I need to do?

Last night as the French successfully held off a German Blitzkrieg we bumped in to how fixed line Forward Observers mesh with the abstraction/virtualisation of Forward Observers in the new rules.
Anyway a suggestion - the Forward Observation Point (FOP)

I hope there is a special level of Hell that the Camembert drug crazed French designer of their camouflage pattern resides in! What’s wrong with good ‘ol olive drab?

Great progress on the Frenchies. Base painting done and now the exquisite joy of the application of a wash to actually make them half decent.
Why do base coated minis look they have been painted by a toddler?

Another bunch of 20mm French infantry and AT gun crews begun. Hardest part of painting as it seems you have miles to go and the enthusiasm can be hard to find. Painting as per wargamingthings.blogspot.com/search/label... #wargaming #spreadthelard

At Colours 2025 I had a fantastic chat with passionate @historianinharness.bsky.social about upcoming kickstarter for Écorcheurs (which I butcher when I try and pronounce it). Looks like a great narrative driven ruleset for the HYW period. (Sorry for the bad photo btw) #Ecorcheurs #hundredyearswar
