Have a great weekend everyboby.

Thinks of the horror that is those silver band tracks... nope just no. Glad the world moved on.

Thats a top effort, the poor old JS111 wasnt amoungst the best when it came out and its very long in the tooth now but, that transformed it.

I think im already enough of an anorak without delving into the depths of truck spotting. I do like to try be accurate but im equally not adverse to a bit of wargamers fudge. In this case, bring on the fudge.

Don't tell me its twenty years Richard, I just found a pile of TAC scenario books I'd forgotten I had. 😁

Lovely, and thanks for the heads up. I'd missed that this pack contained a AHN-1, I'd assumed it was just the German variants. The printing queue just grew.

Love it, a great looking table and I love the P16 lurking by

A rare visitor to the table, one of my M4A3E2 Jumbo's (75mm) escapes it storage to wreak havoc in today Chain of Command game. After pumping three rounds if HE into a Whermacht section to great effect it got in a fire fight with a Stug 3F8, 11 armour helping it win the day. 1/72 Italeri model.

A few pics of my revamped SS-VT on thier first outing. Things started badly with a starting moral of eight and didnt really improve despite a solid two up attack on the French left losses in NCOs and the supporting Pz3 quickly saw thier moral plummet and the attack falter.

A few close ups from today's Chain of Command game. Probe scenario, US infantry vs Whermacht. FIgures ALL 20mm AB. A win for the Germans as a triple phase run onto a US jOP and end the third phase with three sixes-ideal timing then a quick stroll for the table edge. 1 german KIA in total!

Thats lovely, an odd colour to try to get right too.

A few pics from.yeterdays 4 player Normandy US vs Germans game. It tense game of Attack an objective (in the town)swinging one way then another but finally a win to the Germans as a pakfront Pzjg 1V picked off an M8 and M18 freeing up the Luch to cause mayhem. A great fun game for all involved.

Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
“Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns!” he said.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred...

I don't think mines stopped in the last few weeks, now I've about fifteen buildings to do. I need a bigger painting table. 😁

Today's CoC games part two. German sutzen truppe push through the Belgian defence line. Suffering from no AA defence and shock proved critical as the Germans three armoured vehicles swamped the defence. The T13 & the Pz4 slogged it out all game but it wasn't enough and the Belgian were brushed aside

Today's table for our 1940 "Blitzkrieg" Chain of Command game. Belgian regulars vs Shutzen truppe, the Germans with Suka support managed to destroy or damage three buildings and put a UXB in two more putting the Belgians on the back foot straight away.

Thanks Richard, thats a nice write up and cheers for all your efforts.

Just back from Partizan and a cracking day catching up with folks which was proceeded by an equally great day at Steel lard where I won a prize. Nothing says Sheffield more than a bottle of DeeDar juice , cheers guys, appriciated and thanks for a great day.

A great read and his in depth knowledge of the area and defences really shows.

Duly noted, I think I have some M4A2 in the stash that would be useful additions.

Tim, thats exactly what's coming next for the Broken markers. Big chickens 😁

Thanks. It made me smile.

Thanks.

Im hoping they'll work well on rubber roads too but I'll have to experiment first.

My latest batch of Shock markers rolls off the bench. 20mm Ducks because when troops are under fire... they.... Duck 🤣😂 They all ended up being Mallards because generic ducks look very similar to chickens in this scale but then I guess Chickens work too.#chainofcommand. #spreadthelard

Let's see what these can do, high hopes for these washes to help bring my terrain project together tonally.

Looking forward to having a bash at that, it looks fantastic.

Joe, its a lovely model and an ideal size having some bulk to it but not dominating.

So after another fantastic weekend at Ebor lard and big big thanks to @johnsavage.bsky.social and after playing on @joewargamer.bsky.social fantadtic terrain, I'd not been home long before the printer sprang into life. Thats inspiration for you.

Getting lots of political posts and reposts on the feed, please go back to X (Twitter) for that crap or don't be upset when I unfollow you. We left X to leave that crap behind not bring it with us.
