Garage-gamer: March 2012
http://garagegamer.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
An informal look at the people who visit, and the games that are played in my garage. Tuesday, 6 March 2012. The Italian Division which along with the Polish Division comprises the French left wing. These are mostly Old Glory figures interspersed with a few from Front Rank and were all painted by Dom. The Austrian side of the battle, a picture of general withdrawal with, in the bottom of the shot signs of Steve's Swiss troops pursuing the Austrian left wing. Links to this post.

Garage-gamer: December 2011
http://garagegamer.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
An informal look at the people who visit, and the games that are played in my garage. Sunday, 18 December 2011. It was a slow, quiet evening at the garage on Thursday. Our ad-hoc game had pretty much run its course and we were all aware that we needed to have everything put away before starting the next campaign battle which as I previously mentioned pits the Austrian juggernaut against a handful of Bavarians. A Brigade of Hesse-Darmstadt troops take position in and around a village. That's about all for...

An informal look at the people who visit, and the games that are played in my garage. Tuesday, 12 June 2012. A Panoramic shot of the initial dispositions done using a handy little utility on my new phone. Saxphalians mass before the defending Hanenburgers. The theatre of action. Saxphalia consists of Saxony, Westphalia, Hesse-Cassell and Bayreuth. Hanenburg is made up from Hanover, Brandenburg, Pomerania and Mecklenburg. The site of the first action. Saxphalian infantry begin to assault the centre, thoug...

Unfashionably Shiny: Fantastic Soldered Soldiers
http://unfashionablyshiny.blogspot.com/2014/05/fantastic-soldered-soldiers.html
Thumbing its' nose at black undercoat and matte varnish. Sunday, 4 May 2014. The above are a sample of the British Legion dragoons Doug Mason created for me last year. Despite there being only 2 castings in the Hinchliffe range (an officer and trooper) Doug has created a unit of 24 figures where each is different. Of all the conversions i think the trooper with pistol and dangling sword is my favourite, and something of a Mason trademark. Beautiful work Doug. Mr Mason is a very talented chap!

Unfashionably Shiny: July 2013
http://unfashionablyshiny.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Thumbing its' nose at black undercoat and matte varnish. Saturday, 27 July 2013. Right lads, they want a kitchen extension, conservatory, and oak floors throughout. In more ways than one - the Black Company of Pioneers was one of the first all black units of ex-slaves raised during the AWI. Most loyalist units were mixed, and these chaps too were eventually integrated into the Guides and Pioneers. These loyal servants of the King are conversions of Connoisseur Egyptian artillerymen, tools by Minden.

Garage-gamer: June 2011
http://garagegamer.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
An informal look at the people who visit, and the games that are played in my garage. Sunday, 26 June 2011. Our initial attempt at river sections sporting some of the bridges which the brave Allies will be using. The Prussian right wing lacking artillery support recoils from sustained French fire. The French left wing having fought off one half hearted assault awaits the next one. One of the small number of batteries so far deployed, firing on distant Prussian cavalry. Links to this post. More of Justins...

An informal look at the people who visit, and the games that are played in my garage. Sunday, 3 June 2012. By mutual consent our latest game came to a slightly early end this week with a win for the Allies. The French gambit of throwing the majority of their strength in to an assault on their left nearly paid off but their weak right flank and centre were unable to hold on for long enough. Swiss and German infantry supported by lancers and hussars force back the Allied right wing. 3 June 2012 at 12:25.

Garage-gamer: November 2011
http://garagegamer.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
An informal look at the people who visit, and the games that are played in my garage. Friday, 25 November 2011. The Seldom Seen Kid. Prussian Landwehr painted by Neil Sheardown make their entry. Another shot of the Landwehr. The figures are all from Calpe Miinatures and are in my opinion the best there are by a country mile. I just wish that Calpe would expand their Saxon range. Ok so what are the changes that we're play testing? Austrian Jaeger advance warily towards an enemy occupied village. That's al...
