Valour and Fortitude today, hosted by @glenbrookgames.bsky.social
With me attacking with the French and @geofftbond.bsky.social defending with the Brits.
Was pretty even till the Old Guard turned up and saved the day 👍😁

After Neil Thomas's Ancient rules we decided to give a hex version of his Napoleonic rules a run out.
We used the blocks and terrain from the C&C Napoleonic game and fought Rolica, great fun 😁

Thank you, I used these rules, very simple but fun 👍

Summer holidays means summer games with the grandson. 15mm Ancients with Early Greek Hoplites versus Earl Achaemenid Persians using Neil Thomas rules.
Simple, straightforward and another beating for me 🤣
Figures and buildings property of the late Mike Hobbs, miss you everyday Hobbsy mate 👍

Thanks Pat ☺️

That went well (not).
J took an extra Section and a SU122.
I put my faith in field defences to try and channel him down the flanks.
The firefight was pretty even till the tank turned up.
A last stand by one of my sections in the objective house was smashed with 11 HE with a storm of steel bonus.

Thanks Adam ☺️

Oh he did 😩

Russians! Russians everywhere!

Somewhere in Eastern Europe winter of 44/45, and the heroes of the Red Army push ever further west in their mission to destroy Nazi Germany.
More to the point, my grandson gets to use his brand new Russian platoon in a game of CoC2.

Congratulations, pop down the G10 and sign out a spare liver mucka!

Took me 5 attempts to get off that table 😩😂

WIP Wednesday and I have quite a bit on the go.
Buildings and fencing in 28mm for the Eastern front game i have planned.
28mm T34's etc as supports for J's Russians.
Another 28mm squad of DAK.
And a 15mm railway station for Old Hickory.
Busy busy 💪

So true 🤣

Up next, 28mm Napoleonics using Valour and Fortitude.
Never played these rules before, so it's a straight forward scenario with 4 Objective markers (The cows), and 2 brigades per side.

Yep, pumping out the hours here as well. Good to see you back on SM 👍

I see what you did there 😏

Hi Gav, how's it going?

And it's Sicily not Scicily 😫

They look freezing, well done 👏

Thsnks, have a look at this video Pat, it's what I used.
youtu.be/4HPhthNTcBA?...

Quite the compliment coming from your good self, no, I followed the video to the letter.
I very often watch to see what paints you use to get a certain colour, even if i dont paint them the same way.
Keep up the good work 👏

There's a book in the psychology of wargaming somewhere 🤔 😂

Cheers Nick 🍻

Thanks Michael ☺️

Thank you 😊

Thank you Sigur 😊

Yeh, they've had a coat of varnish, so hopefully they'll be OK 👍

Now, they won't win any awards, but that was not the point.
I simply wanted to get them done quickly so I could get back to painting my stuff.
I really enjoyed painting them, and J is over the moon with his new army 😀👍

If you haven't used contrast paints before, I highly recommend them.
A series of washes that cover in one go, and form their own shadows and highlights.
I was able to paint everything within a week, what a result!
All the figures in this thread were painted with them, except for their helmets.
