Tonight, at #BadMoonCafe, we’re playing #FateOfTheFellowship…. Unfortunately, the characters tokens are missing, so I’ve had to rapidly improvise 😩🙄🤪

Having a few days away for my wedding anniversary. But there’s still time to get out my travelling paint brushes and plan some very small games of #WhenTheLastSwordIsDrawn

Very sorry to hear that George Gush, the father of Renaissance wargaming has died. I was looking for something yesterday and took his book off the shelf for the first time in ages. An absolute groundbreaker. RIP George.

While I matt varnish my figures for gaming with, there’s always that “gloss varnish stage” when they seem to look better - more like toy soldiers (or, maybe, glossy boiled sweets). Maybe that second layer of gloss varnish wasn’t really needed 🤔😂

A feature of First Bull Run was the presence of parties of civilians who went out to watch the battle. Several members of Congress were caught up in the retreat.

I needed a Deployment Point for my own retreating senators so here’s their picnic blanket.

I changed how I texture bases a while back for single skirmish figures and multiple bases. Here’s a little guide. 1) I use a course brush to gloop on matte modge podge to the mdf base 2) then a small brush to put a thinner amount of the figures attached base

Oh dear, the robots have got confused and slaughtered some moon colonists. Anyone fancy a trip off-world to replace them? 🤔🌓

We’re about to creat five fledging colonies on the Moon. With the help of robots. What can possibly
go wrong? #BadMoonCafe #MoonColony

@perbroden.bsky.social carefully arranges his coins. He’s a master at this - he ain’t playing Pachnko. A lovely, subtle game from the great @ericlang.bsky.social #RisingSun
