Wargaming from an Armchair: November 2014

http://wargamingfromanarmchair.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Wargaming from an Armchair. Sunday, November 9, 2014. Grand Duchy of Waldo first unit. I have become a fan of 40mm figures. I bought Prince August Molds, and am making armies for Charge! I also was interested in the period around the end of the 1800s and beginning of the 1900s. I bought a bunch of figures from Spencer Smith's Shiny Toy Soldier line. They require some assembly. You have to attach their right arm and the head. The variety of uniforms gives you a lot of choices. Grand Duchy of Waldo. As is ...

Wargaming from an Armchair: December 2013

http://wargamingfromanarmchair.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html

Wargaming from an Armchair. Wednesday, December 25, 2013. A Very Merry Christmas. I hope everyone who reads this had a good Christmas. I haven't been posting lately. My wife had knee surgery about 10 days ago, and I have been pretty busy taking care of her, doing housework, cooking, etc. It hasn't left much time for hobbies, unfortunately. She is doing much better now, so I hope to get back to it soon. In Her Majesty's name looks easier than doing GASLIGHT, which requires a fair bit of pre-game time to f...

Wargaming from an Armchair: When Empires Clash! - First Look

http://wargamingfromanarmchair.blogspot.com/2014/10/when-empires-clash-first-look.html

Wargaming from an Armchair. Tuesday, October 21, 2014. Bob Cordery, of the Wargaming Miscellany blog, has published a set of rules via Hulu. They are for fighting colonial battles and campaigns during the Victorian and Edwardian era, using a gridded table. A stand is 40mm wide, and for infantry 20mm deep. With 3 figures on this stand, it represents a company of infantry. The cavalry stand represents a squadron, and the artillery a battery. The board is intended to be gridded in 50mm squares, ...The movem...

Wargaming from an Armchair: Packing up

http://wargamingfromanarmchair.blogspot.com/2015/03/packing-up.html

Wargaming from an Armchair. Saturday, March 7, 2015. I haven't updated this in some time. I retired at the end of January. My wife and I are in the process of packing everything up. We are planning on moving to Colorado at the end of May, assuming our house sells. I am keeping some stuff out to finish painting. I have been working on the 40mm Shiny Toy Soldier figures I bought. I have plans for another purchase of these to make up the armies for both sides. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Since my fi...

Curio Clashes: July 2014

http://jonscurioclashes.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

Tuesday, July 29, 2014. It's been a pretty busy summer with all of the kids' activities and vacations, however, I have managed to make progress on a few small projects. Starting with my trench project, I have continued with terrain that while primarily for WW2, I suppose much of it could serve as ACW pieces too. I also decided to add to the few WW2 ruin pieces:. More ruin pieces I made with Sintra bases, light talus and sand, craft sticks, and small bricks I made out of scrap pieces of foam-core:. View m...

The Propaganda Architect: 15mm Modern Africa with Gruntz

http://propagandaarchitect.blogspot.com/2013/07/15mm-modern-africa-with-gruntz.html

Reflection on gaming projects where enthusiasm and ideas are often fact and completion is a nice fiction. Sunday, July 14, 2013. 15mm Modern Africa with Gruntz. We play in a group that usually has 5-8 participates in an evening. We need to get everyone a command, finish in three hours, and have fun. This means a convention style game every Thursday and finding rule sets that fit these parameters can be a challenge. We attempted Force on Force. On the 2nd African Militia card, I added a Perk. I am sure th...

The Propaganda Architect: July 2013

http://propagandaarchitect.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html

Reflection on gaming projects where enthusiasm and ideas are often fact and completion is a nice fiction. Wednesday, July 31, 2013. I love the smell of napalm in the morning . 15mm Aérospatiale LAMA Heliopter. I finished this helicopter to use in my Modern Africa games. Now it is an Aérospatiale Alouette II Heller Kit, but I wanted some guns or rockets on it, so I added the rocket pods. The HAL Lancer is a variant on the Aérospatiale LAMA, so that was what I attempted to build. Here is the kit. And a Bat...

Lead Addict's RPG Mapping and Cartography Companion Blog for Roll 2 Hit! Friday, May 1, 2015. Very little finish was done to these in Photoshop. I finally found the paper/notebook I liked and a set of pens as well. The notebook is a 7x9 perfect bound 190 sheet notebook I got on Amazon. The pens are Micron 01 through 05. Enjoy.

Cryptic Cartography: The Two Most Evocative Images from D&D

http://crypticcartography.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-two-most-evocative-images-from-d.html

Lead Addict's RPG Mapping and Cartography Companion Blog for Roll 2 Hit! Wednesday, April 15, 2015. The Two Most Evocative Images from D&D. Big statement. I know. But for me, with all the amazing Willingham, Dee and Otus illustrations in D&D Basic, nothing was more evocative, more illustrative, and more densely important than the following illustrations:. These two illustrations opened up the world for me. Truly an Ah HA! Moment. Enjoy. You probably know them by heart. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
