Where a love of history and miniature wargaming collides on the tabletop. Dakota Smith's Oriental Adventures. French and Indian War. Monday, November 23, 2015. Rumble in post-Roman Britain. Steve, on the left, watches as the battlelines clash. Joel, Allen, and Keith - our Saxon enemies - let loose the dogs of war! My command huddles in shield wall as we watch the Saxon hordes close from across the battlefield. In addition, there was zero terrain. This was the proverbial billiard table. We were to...The i...

Lead Legionaries: Old School Naval Wargaming
http://leadlegionaries.blogspot.com/2015/11/old-school-naval-wargaming.html
Where a love of history and miniature wargaming collides on the tabletop. Dakota Smith's Oriental Adventures. French and Indian War. Sunday, November 15, 2015. Old School Naval Wargaming. Allen insisted, so we got down on my living room floor for some old school WW II Naval wargaming. Allen cooked up a convoy raid scenario with a British force (Joel and Mike S) trying to jump a lightly-escorted merchant ship convoy (Steve), before the Italian surface elements can steam to the rescue (Tom and Mike D).

Where a love of history and miniature wargaming collides on the tabletop. Dakota Smith's Oriental Adventures. French and Indian War. Thursday, August 6, 2015. Can I call them the "Stink-eye" Tribe? 28mm Old Glory Indians (well, one is a Falcon fig - can you guess which one? From the "Stink-eye Tribe". Well, they're done, now. I want to call them the "Stink-eye Indians" because they have been sitting there, glaring at me, for so long, impatiently waiting to be done. French and Indian War. Keith's nephew M...

Where a love of history and miniature wargaming collides on the tabletop. Dakota Smith's Oriental Adventures. French and Indian War. Friday, December 4, 2015. Ramming our way through Galleys and Galleons. Our opponents, Tom, Joel, and Allen, bickered and laughed their way through the game that ended with a hard-fought victory for them. Our side's fleet rows towards the enemy. Two of my quadiremes use Colossus Island to lie in wait for a larger enemy quinquireme and trireme. One of the more clever mechani...

Lead Legionaries: Women and Children...Definitely not First!
http://leadlegionaries.blogspot.com/2015/12/women-and-childrendefinitely-not-first.html
Where a love of history and miniature wargaming collides on the tabletop. Dakota Smith's Oriental Adventures. French and Indian War. Thursday, December 10, 2015. Women and Children.Definitely not First! 25mm Old Glory Indian villagers - the one on the left is probably my favorite of the batch. I used brighter colors on the cloth blankets and more faded, dull ones on the fringed, deerskin dresses. It is my indispensable tome for what Eastern Woodland Indians looked like.

Where a love of history and miniature wargaming collides on the tabletop. Dakota Smith's Oriental Adventures. French and Indian War. Tuesday, October 6, 2015. Battle of Bloody Run at Advance the Colors 2015. I ran the Battle of Bloody Run once each on Friday and Saturday nights at ATC 2015. It is a sprawling, disjointed battle that could easily be divided up into four (or more) separate engagements. British regulars cross the bridge under fire from Pontiac's ambushing warriors. Cheers and groans rang out...

Lead Legionaries: Dinosaurs as the "good guys"??

Where a love of history and miniature wargaming collides on the tabletop. Dakota Smith's Oriental Adventures. French and Indian War. Sunday, August 2, 2015. Dinosaurs as the "good guys"? Although it was a laugh-a-minute for the players, it wasn't so much for the Nazis frantically trying to escape. Nazis try to in vain to take refuge on a steep hill. Keith had seen a light-hearted set of rules called, " Eat Hitler". My dino snacked on two Nazis before they decided to flee the hill. For Queen and Planet.

Where a love of history and miniature wargaming collides on the tabletop. Dakota Smith's Oriental Adventures. French and Indian War. Sunday, October 11, 2015. Corn Rows quick and simple. One of Rogers Rangers advances through a corn field I constructed for my Bloody Run scenario. A package of 28 corn stalks by JTT Scenery Products. I drilled holes in each 40mm x 20mm base and forced a stalk into each hole, covering it with two-part epoxy. Labels: French and Indian War. October 12, 2015 at 9:42 AM. Battle...
