My board during a long game of MtG commander with Teval, the Balanced Scale as my commander. I had an insane amount of land but I wasn't getting the card draw to take advantage of it.

Absolutely right. I criticise BBC News, because we need it to be as good as we know it can be. People like Farage criticise the BBC, because they work for its competitors and don't want it to exist.

What does a book idea look like? Is it fully fleshed out or just a vague idea?

A 1000 point game of Bolt Action. German Vs German. I used an inexperienced list and they were mauled very badly as you'd expect.

First game of Black Ops by Osprey on Sunday set in Afghanistan vs the Soviet Union. A very slick set of rules. Very unusually I won.

I have to confess that I managed to reach 56 without reading the Lord of the Rings. To fix that, I'm currently listening to Andy Serkis's excellent narration of the Fellowship of the Ring. Should have done it years ago...

Just assembling my new Delaque Necromunda gang. Can see why people 3d print now. What an awfully fiddly job it is. Can't wait till I'm done. Enjoy the painting though.

Probably my final game of Bolt Action version 2. It's been a good run, looking forward to version 3.
