2nd New Hampshire’s just about ready for WWLVI, with eight more on the work top in progress. Hey, but they are dressed in grey and flying the Union flag…! What can possibly go wrong? Well, it is a game of Sharp Practice. Find out more on Saturday at BIG Bristol.

What scale are you intending to do it in?

Yep. Scott Tracy with his Johnny Seven would be enough for a Brown Sunday.

Hi John, Do you intend to host Ebor Lard 26? If so do you have a date in mind? I’m hoping it doesn’t clash with the SP event “The Devil’s Wind” in Bristol, which is provisioned for 26/27 September.

Two more Infamy Infamy Status II Leaders and Status III Warlord for my growing Germanic force. I’ve since fixed the overspill of ground texture on the fella on the right right peg. Figures from Foundry.

Historically correct. He did go back there and no harm came to him as no reported sightings of the enemy for miles. But supposing the scouts were wrong. Or even treacherous…

At the moment I’m considering “Skulls of the Tuetonburg”. An Infamy Infamy scenario set in AD15. Six years on from the Clades Variana. General Germanicus ignores convention to visit the site of Arminius' ambush in the heart of the Teutoburg Forest, guided by veterans of the disaster….

You should. I blame their lack of success on the fact their leader couldn’t speak a word of English (or Scottish for that matter).

Tartan looks great. I do own two kilts, so speaking with authority.

The view expressed on the Oddcast was a surprise. Especially as it emerged at the same time as the news that X was offering a “spicy mode” by allowing Grok producing undressed images of people and sexualised images of children. I suspect the Oddcast was prerecorded.

Preparing Centurion Alfaromeo for some Christmas Infamy action with my son in law Steve. It’s his favourite car brand and the buy in was instantaneous. I’m indebted to The Crusty Colonel’s YouTube channel for the inspiration.

Having primed these two rather nice Germanic houses from Bunker Miniatures it was a quick one hour job to get them on the table. I can now create more scenarios for Infamy Infamy. The capture of Thusnelda, wife of Arminius, lurks in my mind. I need a 28mm model representing Ben Kane’s Tullus.

Tinkering around with the Krautcover A tale of Grimdark ground scatter purchased from Bristol Independent Gaming. I knocked up an ambush point for Infamy Infamy. I’d advise to take out bones & skulls you want to use and just dook them in some warm water to remove the soil stains.
