Wargaming France 1940 in 6mm. Returning to the hobby after 35 years. Wednesday, 29 April 2015. Bases: Infantry Unit Identification. I may have mentioned how Lloyd Nikolas' identifies his Crossfire infantry units using the terrain on the bases. French Infantry Unit by Nikolas. Differing bases for each platoon. Elements which do not move about in units much or risk getting mixed up with others (support weapons, artillery, dispatch riders) have a default 'makeover' of Humbrol 150 with a 'grass' mix of flock...

Wargaming France 1940 in 6mm. Returning to the hobby after 35 years. Wednesday, 6 May 2015. Just when you thought it was safe to tip out the white spirit jam jar there are seem to be several more loose ends unravelling. Repaint a few spare German cavalry figures into Allied mounted couriers (they are going to need them with their comms debacle). Superglue rocks onto Carrier and Recce platoon leader figures. Base up 25mm AT gun crews that somehow keep falling through the net. This lot just completed. ...

Wargaming France 1940 in 6mm: June 2012

I may have mentioned this before but if, like me, you are a 'pretty average' model painter then you will probably have a lot of trouble getting similar-looking tyres on your vehicles.

Continuing with my new quest for impartial solo game set-ups and taking certain decisions away from the solo player, I have knocked up a table for selecting random units from my armies. This is a sort of follow-on from Dale's solo blog. Where he ruminates over how the turn sequence might effect a player's strategy (or is it tactics? Monday, 20 May 2013. The notation {8/13 65}.

Wargaming France 1940 in 6mm: Simpler Morale

Wargaming France 1940 in 6mm. Returning to the hobby after 35 years. Tuesday, 14 July 2015. Then I did away with the chart (one less quick reference sheet to find on the gaming table), rendered down the morale effects into just five brackets and knocked up a simple calculation (something that could fairly easily done in the head) for the apres-roll. Although not into English Civil War gaming (yet! I've been looking at the Polemos rules. Rummaging) but that is all there is now in terms of number crunching.
