Thursday, November 22, 2012. How I Built my Trench Blocks. I have not been able to game this week, between overtime at work, and Spike and I re-modelling our kitchen. I did find time to put together a quick tutorial for everyone asking about my trench blocks that have been regular scenery on these pages. Here is a hill (6 plain squares, topped by two smaller squares), and several blocks that will make up a river (2 plain squares, topped with two layers, cut to shape). Make your cardboard squares SLIGHTLY...

Adventures in Portable Wargaming: Building a Game Board in One Day
http://adventuresportablewargaming.blogspot.com/2012/12/building-game-board-in-one-day.html
Tuesday, December 11, 2012. Building a Game Board in One Day. Last week I built a scenery board for my Portable Wargames set in the desert or Tunisia. Last night I began one for "greener terrain". Here is how it was built. The tape can be a bit tricky to get off the roll, but the strength it gives the playing surface is worth the trouble. I painted the edges over the tape first, then began filling in the middle. Taco Bell Nacho plates make excellent paint trays. I then sprinkle flock near one edge, sprea...

Tuesday, December 25, 2012. Christmas 1961- How It All Began. As I have said many times, my parents were both very supportive of my wargaming hobby from the beginning. Here is a picture from 1961 of me opening one of the most important gifts of my life, the Marx "Blue and Gray" set, on Christmas morning. This wonderful set of figures included EVERYTHING! Over the years, Christmas usually meant a new period or theme for my gaming.The D-day landings, also in 54mm: Charge of the Bengal Lancers, in 25mm,...
