Historical Wargamer since the late 1970s.
Had a really fun game of your galley adaptation of S&H today. Thanks for setting it all up and taking us through it. Maybe we just burn Rob as a witch next time all those sixes he was throwing 😉

Lovely! they really do have that mass effect. Is there a target for how many you're aiming for?

Whilst we're in confessional mode, I'm not proposing this as a good approach for anyone else, but I assemble and base my figures before painting. The reason being that I value the sturdiness of my figures when I'm playing with them over being able to get detail on the figures when I paint them.

I suspect it's much more to do with us typically playing across a 4'-5' wide table and the limits of how far across that table we can reach. Even those rules writers who care about modelling the time span of a turn length and ground scale, they will fudge this to get to the 6"/12" move distances.

TFL Facebook presence is a page rather than a group meaning only the admins can post directly to it. I've sent the info via FB messenger so hopefully it'll be picked up and posted when an admin sees it.

I love the effect you've managed to get on the white cloaks. Stunning work as always.

Hope you get well soon Joe. Just think of it as enforced research time 🙂

My favourite game on show at JoS was your Duna table, but rather than duplicate your photo I used a shot of our far less impressive, but still huge fun, Lake Huleh crusade game.
