Thanks. I figured out a method that made it pretty easy to do a lot of them.

Thanks again to @warlordgames.com and @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social for providing prize support for our 8 person tournament at Wargames Among the Warplanes. The generosity goes a long way to making sure that players want to keep showing up at tournaments.

I have not! I’ll have to look it up. These were 4x4 tables for a 500pt Bolt Action tournament.

Got my tables laid out for the tournament tomorrow. I feel bad since they’re not fully done and painted but with vacation, the holiday, and work travel I had very little time to throw this together. Hopefully it goes well.

Treated myself to a box of these last night. I’m gonna run them as Italian partisans (don’t tell @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social).

6 months out and I think my son and I have settled on our doubles army for 2026 Adepticon. Now to start list building…

Does anyone know where I could get models for WW2 Asian Partizans/Filipino Guerrillas? Ideally they would be plastic since I want to be able to resculpt them to have weapons teams since I haven’t seen any. All I have been able to find so far is metal and stl files for rifle teams.

Ugh. Just flipped the switch on my Ender 3 and it won’t turn no. Nothing, no sign of life at all. Just used it last week too…

We’re having a small Bolt Action tournament here in a few weeks and the folks over at @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social were kind enough to send over some prize support for the event!

My son and I each got a Mystery Box from Warlord this go around. The Italian box is awesome. The Belgians leave a bit to be desired but it’s definitely a fun little force.

I haven’t done any colonial era gaming but this English fort was attacked by the Native Americans in 1696. Seems like it could be a pretty interesting scenario and table build.

Escobear @rnminiatures.bsky.social · Aug 23

Went to a fort today!

Three amazing crowdfunding projects that are all basically happening at the same time. My wallet is going to hate me…

In other news, what a time to be a wargamer!

Son wants a side by side, but I think this is more practical.

Looks like I’m gonna be TOing my first Bolt Action tournament in a couple of weeks… 😬

We were looking at it and the worker asked if he wanted to hop up into the seat!

They had a B-25 and C-47 flying throughout the day that people would hop on and try tracking them.

Didn’t really take many photos at DDay Ohio today but I did get one of my son operating a Bofors.
