Trudging around Isle of Bute today & took some pix of some very determined gangly trees growing out of a veritable bog between some ancient stones. Sort of inspiration for fantasy/gothic terrain at some point.

More Sci-Fi stuff to clear away: 28mm Security/Police vehicles x 6.
Mostly GZG models, resin vehicles, never properly finished but useful for some non-military & security scenarios.
UK-based, so offering them up for £25 total which includes P&P/courier to someone also in UK.

Some Sci-Fi stuff to clear away: 28mm heavy armour - IFV-types x 2.
Old Crow models, chunky resin vehicles, bit hard to get them now. These are hefty large-size lumps.
UK-based, so offering them up for £20 total which includes P&P/courier to someone also in UK.

Some Sci-Fi stuff to clear away: 28mm grav-bikes & riders x 4.
Cant remember the make/range, listed them last year on FB but sadly no takers. UK-based & will post free to UK for £15 total.

Excellent work.
How about the sadly rusting abandoned Ogre MkIIIb? 🤔
#OgreGEV
Oat lattes? Surely that's a very milky porridge? 😁
Irritating homestuff problems: ringmain for downstairs power sockets keeps tripping out. Guess what: boiler is wired into same ringmain. So no heat or hot water. Keeping 🤞the sparx turn up & find & fix it all. And just as we're playing host to a friend visiting this week too.
Possible good news in the future? 🤞

No, not from what I recall playing recently.
Retreats:
* Unit may not retreat onto or thru a hex already containing another unit (regardless if friend or foe).
However, if no other retreat path is available it can move over those occupied hexes but will lose 1 block per such hex doing so.
Hmm, got me thinking now, may have to break it out & come up with some ideas to trial out.
Indeed, only time it really matters in that instance is to affect choices of direction-of-travel for Evades & Retreats.
One possible consideration: a Flanked Unit loses 1D in any Battle Back?
Spent several days doing last of unpacking games stuff from storage. Needless to say Disposal Pile has increased. Will post up some items in due course, but, strange to say deciding to let go of some stuff has been strangely cathartic(?) & pleasing. A better focus on certain projects hopefully? 🤞
Never got into C&C Ancients, had some of the Naps sets but didn't use it much, it was C&C Medieval that really grabbed me back into it. Now fits a middle space between figures on tabletop & historical boardgames.
Recently did another big scale C&C Napoleonic, this time 2 merged Borodino scenarios for a Grand/Epic game. Good fun, covered about 18 turns with eventual French win. As I was Russian commander Kutuzov it wasn't too bad - we did what we could & held on.

Busy weekend of boardgaming. Will post up some pix later. Needless to say it's likely to completely distract me from the terrain painting I should be doing, as I'm now keen to break out Command & Colors Medieval or the Napoleonics to then trial a few scenario ideas.
#GamingInspiration
Getting slower at keeping some traction on this? Maybe, but also been manically busy with irritating work-&-lifestuff too. Hoping to cruise into the weekend from now on tho, with some gaming planned for the weekend. Plus painting table is almost back up & ready. Fingers crossed 😎
Decoding demonic decibels in a dank dingy dungeon with Dick? Crack on chap 👍😎
Just a shout out to the #OGRE Miniatures players, that these 6mm models make perfectly scaled trains & tracks to go with the plastic Ogre/GEV Miniatures. Well recommended.
#OgreGEV
Another trialling session for Imperial Elegy. Preferring this to Here I Stand. Finding less player downtime than HIS, & not so obvious who's winning so limited opportunity to Nobble-The-Leader. All done on Vassal platform & via Discord so its not being played F2F.

Simple guess: we post up & share more about #solowargaming to grow it as a trend? Not really sure. Know some historians have made up 'packs' where they lists other historians to connect up with. Reposted them yesterday.
How about icon/emoji (prompted: that pumpkin) to add to handles to start off?
One post I meant to share for #BritishWarMemorials enthusiasts. It's very remote, but at some point will return to hopefully take better pix & notes.
When it came to the women in history we couldn’t be contained in the 150 person limit when I did it, so we had a part 2 for those wanting to network to the max
And for the people fleeing wannabe space wanker and his racist hordes there is also this starter pack for women in history …
Me too...
*Ahem*
Anyway, one I'm dabbling with at the moment:
