Looking for colour guides to paint your WW2 miniatures? I do have a few of those over on my blog and am constantly *ahem* adding new ones. If there's a particular uniform you're after which I haven't done yet, just let me know in the comments. moitereisbuntewelt.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.ht…

You're a 100% right in pointing out that German historians are rather bad in getting their stuff translated. I found that also true the other way round, especially when it comes to WW2, with very few apart from Beevor being translated into German. I just happen to prefer to read in English anyway 😂

I don't begrudge you your history, I just wish there were more continental European rules writers focusing on continental European history. Why can't we have both?

Yeah... it's still Age of Arthur, right? With Saxons, Britons and Picts that's 3 out of 10 from a relatively remote isle that didn't play a significant role in the period. It's a simple fact though, that most wargamers are anglophone and thus Arthur and Bewowulf closer than Hagen and Siegfried.

I wonder why 😂 I mean, there's a reason Studio Tomahawk did an Age Of Arthur supplement for Saga. I'd rather have seen an Age of the Nibelungen one.
Especially considering that events on the continent arguably did more to shape Europes history than what happened on the British Isles.

I just binned 12kg of assorted unpainted minis... truth be told it felt rather cathartic. Couldn't be bothered with the hassle of trying to sell/ trade it all. 😅 And if I hadn't binned it I knew I'd never have painted it anyway.
Now what to do with the rest...

I'll be at the Hartenstein Airborne Museum this coming weekend along with @jurdj.bsky.social, @clogfather.bsky.social, @eltjov.bsky.social & Nick Skinner. We'll host three Market Garden games for the broader public. If you're in the vicinity we'd love if you'd stop by and maybe even roll a few dice
