Intermittent Reinforcements: Rumble in the Desert
http://intermittentre.blogspot.com/2015/08/rumble-in-desert.html
Monday, August 3, 2015. Rumble in the Desert. We rolled for the mission and got a defensive mission but I asked for a reroll (what is the point of all those motorcycles if you are just going to dismount and dig in) so we ended up with Free for All. In a fit of common sense I dismounted my MGs and AT guns and put them in the town on the left hand side to protect that objective and then spread out the rest of my force with the smaller motorcyle platoon and the howitzers protecting the other objective.

The bridge and small house on the rice paddy and meant for 15mm games, but you use what you have. I decided to deploy in the corner with one of the vilages, but for some reason neglected to put any one in there to hold it? The advance continued as we tried to have a good position for the upcoming battle. My plan for the monks in yellow was to...

Wargaming and miniature painting blog. Thursday, 30 July 2015. Got a bit more painting done on the Frostgrave stuff, Duncan and I are going to give it a go tomorrow, and I got my fancy bases in so I had to get a few things polished off.

These are pretty cool if you ask me. Bought: 218 (24 Frostgrave). Painting a N...

Intermittent Reinforcements: May 2015
http://intermittentre.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 23, 2015. Lorraine Campaign Day 2. A few weeks ago (I am getting caught up on my battle reports) we had the second round of the Lorraine Campaign at the Ottawa Miniatures Gamers. As usual we had a pretty good turnout and lots of tables got set up. I set up with one infantry platoon on each objective and the HQ tiger hiding (I thought) behind the building. The Americans rushed forward en masse (my artillery was in reserve) and the tanks began to pound the infantry. Wednesday, May 20, 2015.

http://michaelswargames.blogspot.com/2015/04/battle-report-flames-of-war-late-late.html
Wargaming and miniature painting blog. Thursday, 23 April 2015. Battle Report - Flames of War - Late Late War Tank Battle. So I decided that we should do a late late war tank battle, with no rivers! We agreed to pick a list from Blood Guts and Glory, Devils Charge, or Nuts. So we are playing a game maybe somewhere between the Loraine and the bulge. Serge went for a disguised Panzerbrigade, really I don't know where these bizzare forces come from some times! So after my move Abrams is ready to shoot up so...

Intermittent Reinforcements: Frostgrave -- First game and some thoughts
http://intermittentre.blogspot.com/2015/08/frostgrave-first-game-and-some-thoughts.html
Sunday, August 2, 2015. Frostgrave - First game and some thoughts. On Friday, Mike came over and we played some Flames of War (I will post some pictures of that soon) and Frostgrave. We decided we would use some modifications after reading some reviews on this blog. And some discussion on the Lead Adventure Forum. These mostly increased the XP for getting treasure and removed the XP for killing opposing wizards. Meanwhile Mike was having some trouble with a wandering monster (a bear dressed up as a Yeti).

Sunday, July 26, 2015. I had listened to an interview about the Skirmish Sangin. Game on the Meeples and Miniatures. Podcast and now I see they have a kickstarter.

Wargaming and miniature painting blog. Friday, 7 August 2015. Battle Report - Flames of War - Early War Desert. So I wanted to give early war a go since I find it to be quit fun, and have been nostalgic for our Early War campaign that we did a few years back. I decided to go for a Panzer list (can also do Infantry or Armored Cars (not sure there is a list for this now thou) . So that meant it would be a Panzer 3 force, which as we were playing 1500 points pretty much set my list right there. Here we are ...
