Mid war
Russians attacking
Hordes of conscripts with hordes of artillery looking to batter & encircle the Thin German line. 6.3 to Germans at end of T3 but both players agreed that the tied would have turned for Russians in later turns with arrival of their armoured corps

Another game of Eisenhower last night
This time a mid war desert action with the 8th Army assaulting a defensive line of Italian infantry and Africa corps Panzer divisions
Only managed 2 runs but at that point British were 4-2 up but with the Armour mostly exhausted

New storage, between locations, but soonish I’ll be back home with a permanent games room for first time in 13 years
First time the collection has been on one place for many years also
Safe to say I don’t think I need a new project for a while!!

Another practice for Bastogne scenario which we’ve now decided will be this years JO6 game.
It will have bespoke terrain and all the figures properly based etc.
We discovered last night that we’d be playing casualty removal, motorised infantry attacking and some of the cards wrong for months!

Suffered a last turn loss as Pompey in this good Columbia Games title
Haven’t played a block game in ages so it was a good reminder of how well they can depict the fog of war

Acquired during lockdown for Infamy Infamy
Never really got into those rules so hoping these guys will be good for Midgard
Not exactly sure who the figures represent but with Midgard I can just make it up!

Frederick looks to press home with his infantry in the centre before the cavalry and Croats get round his flank
Still getting my head round the rules again but definitely a top set
