Wargaming Things

Keeping meaning to do this, much better than a spare jump of point.👍

Some people imagine the rock 'n' roll hobby of wargaming is all about painting Tigers and PIATs, not always the case!

Sometimes it is about making bases to fit to 20mm washers to depict leaders, LMG teams etc. Hole to fit 6mm magnet from that Amazon.

Party on Wayne!

Remember the 2' rule, it will look great on the table

Love the weathering you have done there

Great period to play with loads of wacky tanks and vehicles plus a range of nations to play. Enjoy!

Mmmm I want to buy lots of boxes of Perry HYW minis and mix and match them for various Ecorcheurs retinues, you can't have too many boxes of minis can you?

I wonder how I can hide their cost from the missus though?

True dat

They are good enough to make me want to play in 28mm again.

Posted my "stunning" question on the FB group...

Great blog post and some fantastic tables!

Ahh that makes more sense to me, thanks

I would also suggest dried oregano, also smells nice

Forgive my ignorance but someone told me Snorkers! is a solo game? Have I been misinformed?

Will do in the morning, really just clarifications thats all which is a tribute to the rules you have written!

@historianinharness.bsky.social our first game today! Loved it even though Mark won the game and nobody got the pig! Great set of rules - where would you like a question or two posted, here or on FB?

Trying out Ecorcheurs with @hobnobnobby.bsky.social which is rather fun.

Beautiful painting there! Where did you find the vehicles though?

I salute you but fear for your sanity

I have to go for army points and tournament play in general using points. To me the joy of wargaming is the historical journey, points lead to min-maxing to get the most damage/dice/units on the table.

Oh and game specific dice/tokens/fiddly bits that require you to buy on top of the rules!

Thanks for the quick reply, mmmmm sooo very tempted. Who doesn't need a slightly larger pile of shame?

Mmmm very tempted to give this a go, what scale minis would you suggest 1:144 or 1:300?

Yes I think adding in the variation to any unit really adds something

True, let any mistakes be your own not someone else's. Also most STLs are 28mm and resizing to 20mm means the supports can be iffy

Love the mix of uniform colours!

Oddly I never seem to use pre supported options, always preferring to support them myself (and the inevitable sense of excitement/dread that results in)

A few? Looks like a small factory complex or village?!? Keen to see how they turn out

To think so many teddy bears died for the needs of terrain….
