A large Napoleonic wargame in progress using 6mm figures.

Favourite period (Napoleonics) + favourite rules (GdA2) + favourite scale (6mm) = hobby happiness

Bautzen?

Yes. Met my wife on Twitter (in the days before it turned evil)

It also means there's a comprehensive set of tutorial videos by the author on You Tube, which are extremely helpful

General d'Armee 2 is the best set of rules I've ever used. Simple mechanics, command driven, will work in any scale (typically 1 or 2 divisions per side)

Russia- bringing barbarism to the gates of Civilised Europe for a thousand years. May Ukraine know victory and peace soon.

There was a Black Mirror episode where the PM had to fuck a pig live on air to serve a higher interest. I'll leave it at that.

I can't imagine why anyone would not say F. It has the whole of Italy in it!

Seems a bit harsh. What did the fly do to deserve such defamation?

Is the penny finally dropping?

Refreshing to see *one* of the party leaders standing up for decency and against extremism.

A wargames table set up with 6mm scale Goths and Sassanids

Since the world's going to buggery, if I want to do Goths vs. Sassanids, I'll jolly well do it, and to hell with the consequences

The best terrible film ever

Plan 9 From Outer Space quote! Kudos.

The People's Front of Judea, probably

I always say it's better to be passionate about almost *anything* than to be passionate about nothing.

But you have to hand it to these women, they refuse to believe they're beaten.

These look fantastic. I love what you've done with the limber bases.

And Pendraken figures are just so good (and a genuine pleasure to paint). If I didn’t already have unconscionable numbers of 6mm Napoleonics, I would definitely go for these.

These new @baccus6mm.com Italian Wars figures are the best 6mm figures I've ever seen (and I have over 30,000 6mm figures so I'm in a position to compare). Can't wait for the Swiss to arrive this autumn.

Some would argue it's exactly how Parliament is *supposed* to work

I'll probably crop them in Paint first to remove the edge. I've made some before, from various flag resources online, but this feels like hitting paydirt.

Yep. PowerPoint here I come 🙂

I have a 15th Century imagi-nations campaign I'm building (10mm armies), and a lot of pseudo heraldry to create, so this is amazingly useful to me.

Well now you've got me addicted, and until yesterday I never even knew this treasure trove existed!

Glokta's such a great and original character. I briefly met Joe at a signing in Waterstones Birmingham. He's fantastic, and such a funny, insightful writer

Pre-1950 War and Peace
Post-2000 Joe Abercrombie's Age of Madness trilogy

This is great, and encapsulates why I gave up on everything except WS&S years ago. I also wish they did less skirmish wargaming, though, from a purely selfish viewpoint. Kept finding myself agreeing with you. Should I be worried?

This one
