Gaming Galore!

Hi Folks!

Well, one of my best gaming buddies came over here for some days of serious gaming madness and amongst the many games we played were some very close fought ones. Here are two pics to show us in action!

The picture above shows one of the many Great War Games we played. This ruleset by Warhammer Historical is pure fun! After 5 games (of which I won none and only managed to achieve one draw) I have found out that this game is one I love to play very much indeed. All this painting up armies for all theatres of the Great War now finally pays off!

Above you can see a picture of our Classic Battletech game! Also a very enjoyable game.

Cheers Sander

More Napoleonic Commission Shots!

Hello Peoples!

Today a short update of some more Italian Napoleonics I am painting as commission.
These figures resemble the Chasseurs of an Italian Light Regiment.

Back view:



Front view:



Sadly lack of time prevents me from painting more so this is all for now.

Napoleonic Commission!

Here's the second update for today. Remember the Italian Napoleonic commission figures I posted recently? Well they arrived at their owner's and he has sent me some pictures of the unit based for gaming and in a scenic backdrop. So I thought I'd share the pictures with you!

Ducosim February 2009

Hi Folks!

Two updates today! The first being about the Ducosim games-fair last February. Our Classic Battletech forum-club played two different battles there. First there was an "open participation game" and second we played a "grand finale game" for our Kessen Campaign. I played in the latter and our side won, but only just! We had to achieve several objectives within a time limit of 10 turns. As it happened in turn 8 my side stood on the winning side and as both my co-player had to leave for more pressing matters and the venue was about to close we were saved by the bell! Had we played the remaining 2 turns I do believe we would have come up with a loss or possibly a draw.

Napoleonics Update!

Hoi you all!

Here's another update this time with some Napoleonics and one picture of my LW German 1000pts army for The Great War.

This first picture show some Austrian Light Horse, which I am painting for a great diorama for the coming DUZI show this October.

This picture shows one of my very first Napoleonics ever bought: A Revell Chasseur of the Guard trumpeter. I re-painted him and gave him a Bruno Arnal head.

The last Napoleonic picture shows some HäT testshots of the latest French Light Infantry Voltigeurs. More pictures will be shown in the ETS pages at http://www.hat.com/

And finally here: my German Army for The Great War

- Up front is a Major with two troopers one holding a Bergman SM.

- to the right-front is a Sturm Truppen Company of a 5 man Command squad and two 6 man platoons

- On the left-front are the support choices: two machine guns, a 77mm Field gun and a flamer squad

- in the back are my two Assault Companies. These have a command squad of 5 man (yes I need to fill them out further) and 3 platoons of 9 men each.
