Auckland Volley and Bayonet. Auckland wargamers playing Volley and Bayonet for the Napoleonic period. Sunday, 22 January 2017. Para el vino: Too little, too late.

http://archdukepiccolo.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
A very personal, and eclectic, collection of wargaming plots and projects; battles and campaigns. with pictures; lotsa pictures. Tuesday, October 29, 2013.

Don't you feel sometimes that certain prominent citizens of your own country make you feel embarrassed that they are prominent citizens of your own country? Links to this post. Monday, October 21, 2013. Now that I think of it.

Auckland Volley and Bayonet. Auckland wargamers playing Volley and Bayonet for the Napoleonic period. Sunday, 12 April 2015. What's Volley and Bayonet? What the heck is volley and Bayonet? V&B is a wargame for the 'blackpowder' period, so think horses and muskets. The best known conflict of the period is the Napoleonic Wars, roughly 1800-1815, starring Napoleon Bonaparte and his attempted conquest of Europe, but V&B can be used for most battles between 1700 and 1890. A range of companies make suitable fi...

Auckland Volley and Bayonet. Auckland wargamers playing Volley and Bayonet for the Napoleonic period. Monday, 11 May 2015. Battle Report 19 April 2015. Another casual Sunday arvo at Auckland City Guard club. And Michael and I got the troops out, ostensibly to recreate warfare in the Peninsula circa.1812 but really to watch plastic Frenchmen get killed. Michael, owing to his great love of dead Frenchmen, opted to play as the British. The British, under Major-General Partridge. The French army , turn 1.

Wednesday, 4 March 2015. I received the Hirst Arts unique dungeon accessories mould for Christmas and I've been busy casting lots of books and other bits and pieces to add character to some of my dungeon rooms. Sorcerer's desk with drawers for spell ingredients and what's that at the front - poison? Someone appears to be doing some research. A skull, red books, what could it be? This book makes it clear - research on Khorne! Note the Dark Tongue Fleshhound glyph too. Some sort of Beastman artifact? With ...
