Northwest Historical Miniature Gamer: A Crysler's Farm playtest

http://nhmgs.blogspot.com/2012/08/a-cryslers-farm-playtest.html

Northwest Historical Miniature Gamer. Sunday, August 26, 2012. A Crysler's Farm playtest. These are written for 15mm figures, so for our 28's we made a couple of changes. First we agree to keep the movement distances the same. However, we did double the firing ranges. One can discuss how this alters the ground scale, etc., but we found it didn't unbalance the game, didn't make it a shooting game, it worked fine. The Americans began with Swartout's brigade in position to fight the unit of Canadian Fencibl...

Northwest Historical Miniature Gamer: May 2012

http://nhmgs.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html

Northwest Historical Miniature Gamer. Thursday, May 31, 2012. Projects: a look ahead. It's time for a little reflection over the past year and a little planning for the coming year. Yes, I know it's the end of May, but my wargaming year ends with the convention and I begin to think about what to do for the next Enfilade. So, at least at this point, that's where I am with potential Enfilade games. Nothing really new, except maybe for an air or sea game. I'd really just like to have an enjoyable ye...1 Hun...

Northwest Historical Miniature Gamer: Book Review: Christopher Teutsch's Victory at Poitiers

http://nhmgs.blogspot.com/2012/08/book-review-christopher-teutschs.html

Northwest Historical Miniature Gamer. Thursday, August 30, 2012. Book Review: Christopher Teutsch's Victory at Poitiers. I try to pick up new books on the Hundred Years War as they become available. If they're affordable. I passed by Peter Hoskins' In the Steps of the Black Prince: The Road to Poitiers 1355-56. At ninety bucks. However I did receive the hand-selected Victory at Poitiers. The book gets interesting when Teutsch examines the battles of Crecy and Neville's Cross and begins to apply the lesso...

Northwest Historical Miniature Gamer: Terrain making the Mark Waddington Way Part II: Rough Terrain

http://nhmgs.blogspot.com/2012/09/terrain-making-mark-waddington-way-part.html

Northwest Historical Miniature Gamer. Monday, September 03, 2012. Terrain making the Mark Waddington Way Part II: Rough Terrain. It' been a while since my first post on terrain making, and I've learned some lessons along the way. When last we left our terrain bits in making they were slathered in spackle waiting to dry. Don't slather your bits in spackle. A couple of different reasons why. Slathering your mdf with spackle will warp it! Shapes are spray-primed and ready to go. I've foolishly glued the...

Northwest Historical Miniature Gamer: October 2012

http://nhmgs.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html

Northwest Historical Miniature Gamer. Sunday, October 07, 2012. So how many figures have you painted again? I always set a goal in each calendar year to paint a certain number of figures. I'm always hoping to buy far fewer figures than I paint so I can cut into my fairly substantial figure stocks. I'm usually fairly fastidious about keeping track of the figures I buy and paint. I have know idea exactly how many figures I've painted this year. I also don't really know how many I bought. Between now and En...

Northwest Historical Miniature Gamer: December 2011

http://nhmgs.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html

Northwest Historical Miniature Gamer. Friday, December 30, 2011. 2011 in review and a look ahead. AWI Hobkirk's Hill was just a step toward completion of my AWI project. My first cog-with the fighting castles reversed. I have ten more just like it. Doh! My first batch of completed English ships. The cog Thomas, leads the English fleet. The giant hand watches over the first Sluys playtest. Wednesday, December 28, 2011. I forgot my camera. Yesterday was the eleventh installment of Dave's Annual Naval Game ...

Northwest Historical Miniature Gamer: Finished at last: Victrix British lights

http://nhmgs.blogspot.com/2012/08/finished-at-last-victrix-british-lights.html

Northwest Historical Miniature Gamer. Tuesday, August 28, 2012. Finished at last: Victrix British lights. I've scribbled already about assembling Victrix British Napoleonics, but I finally sat down and painted the little boogers. I feel they turned out reasonably well, but they do pose some interesting problems. This a 24 figure converged light infantry unit. I based them on 20mm X 40mm bases from Litko. I did manage to complete the three War of 1812 units I had on the docket this summer and I'm going to...
