How good do large units (and large games) look? We love them.

Some of my favourite work. Have always wanted to do these. Don’t even have a #Polish #28mm army but really love the #WingedHussars or #Lancers

Feels an appropriate day to post pics from my recent visit to the gobsmacking National Archeological Museum in #Naples. There’s an entire room of #Gladiator helmets, shields and weapons. Are you not entertained?

We've played several games of Blood On The Sands and can highly recommend the exciting but short life of being a gladiator!

My top 3 wargames featuring Marines! Today’s article of my β€œTop 3 Wargames” will be slightly different than the previous ones. Just like with my β€œTop 3 Ancient Rome wargames”, I will not focus on the type…

On this Marine Corps Day - when the units celebrate its birthday - let me re-share my selection of wargames featuring that fearsome formation. Some great classics here (including fantastic solo games). Enjoy!

Nimbus, one of the two cats who run our company (the humans are just here to serve them) does not care for the so called 'treat' that one of the stoopid servants has placed before him.

I think one thing I'm learning about myself is how much I love terrain.

Its why I can't really vibe with boardgames.

Show me your terrain!

We were reminded today how this book guided our first efforts at painting Napoleonics and what a wild ride and adventure it was.
