Spent the afternoon playing @johnsavage.bsky.social’s amazing (Big) Sharp Practice 2 (1815: On the Road to Brussels) game.

Alongside @glenbrookgames.bsky.social, we (just about) defended La Haye Sainte against relentless French assaults!

Great day at @joewargamer.bsky.social’s
Herts of Lard (HoL) yesterday. Two super games & great to see so many good friends.

Played Joe’s (Big) Chain of Command 2 (1941: The Battle of Montcornet) in the morning. Tough German win vs. French. As ever, utterly amazing table!

Alex, just reading through this now. Hugely enjoying.

Wondering if you’ve any recommendations for similiar covering Austerlitz?

Cheers!

More than happy to take the blame!

One of my all time top favourite war games! So simple, so clever and yet so much depth and so much variation with all the expansions.

At this point I’m going straight to the Gin, Victoria! 🀣 Hope the writing is going well. Aiming to get up to Nottingham for a weekend before I wrap up Staff College in July and would be great to catch up if that works?

Dissertation writing trenches here Victoria, so I can vouch for much jealousy at your essentials! πŸ˜…πŸ€£

It’s going to be brilliant - little mini project in and off itself, with a clear goal at the end. Love those types of challenges! Best of luck and keep us posted with the progress!

I can totally understand why! It’s just incredibly well done. Can’t wait to get it painted up.

I did - got an email something was en route, and had checked to see if UK distribution was underway (which it is) so assumed it was the game. Dispatched Wednesday and arrived this morning.

Friday night hobby.

This miniature is insanely clever. Continuing the roll into Age of Sigmar with The Light of Eltharion.

Took some time this morning to assemble Lumineth Realm Lords warband Myari’s Purifiers for use with AoS proper. Really fantastic sculpts!
