Gutted to have missed this but great to see my Prussians take to the field again. As ever, @johnsavage.bsky.social and crew serving up an epic days gaming. Looking forward to more Big Battle Napoleonics in 2026 (once staff course is finished!).
Superb day yesterday when 6 of met up for a refight of Liebertwolwitz in 1813. Great to see @tomjmegan.bsky.social Prussians take to the table again alongside my newly minted Russians and face off against @jaje7406.bsky.social French. All rounded off with an excellent evening’s social! 👌

Still have absolutely no idea what I am doing, but this just came in the door.
Understand it’s from 3rd edition, but awaiting the new version, it’ll provide a starting point I guess!

Cracking evening playing Battle of Hoth.
Really impressed with this version of M’44 - still holds the same simple, effective base mechanics but with such a characterful twist added. Definitely recommend!

With the opportunity to try Age of Sigmar over the next year, I have just purchased my first AoS box.
I have absolutely no idea what I am doing, though the quasi-High Elf nature of LRL appealed.
Starting with playing Spearhead and we’ll go from there I guess!

Solid eBay find arrived - Brand new, unopened. Have wanted to pick this up for a while and should be pretty good for long Club gaming evenings or over a weekend!

That said - these two hit equally as hard. Grew up with these - they were, and remain, my Warhammer 40,000.

Very little (if any!) hobby at present as the staff course picks up pace.
Wanted a treat so pre-order the incoming Warhammer 40,000 Character Encyclopaedia for myself. Looking forward to giving this a look with a cuppa tea some evening!

You know the ABSOLUTE best thing about these?
I just see Space Marines again.
None of this Primaris stuff. These are just modernised, up scaled versions of the older ones and I am 100% here for it.

Great morning visiting Colours 2025 for the first time with @joewargamer.bsky.social in Newbury. Very restrained purchases (for now), but did pick up @footsoreminiatures.bsky.social’s The Barons’ War (2e). Hoping to do some Outremer in due course!

Reading online articles is ok, but I still prefer a book. Especially for the keynote ones.
Have a feeling that my existing War Studies collection from my KCL days is going to expand considerably over the next year and this course gathers steam…

Littoral Commander for the kitchen table - yes, please!
Simply one of the best, most engaging, challenging and thought provoking modern military educational wargames - for practitioners and hobbyists alike - out there. If you’ve not tried it, you really need to - period!

We made a compact Gotland map for my "Littoral Commander: Baltic" -- designed for players wanting a smaller footprint map to play on. I will make some custom scenarios for this map in the coming weeks. You can find the map for free here: drive.google.com/drive/folder...
