I was hoping to have a bit more done by now, but what with the boss having a bunion operation and demanding endless cups of tea and other stuff and on top of which I tweaked a disc in my back which seriously put a crimp in the proceedings.

Also, ploughed fields which measure 60cm x 60cm, made of a doormat glued down and lightly dry brushed - dead easy. All the vehicles in shot are 1/48 scale to give some perspective.<br />

Not a lot of pictures were taken of this game as it was a four player game and the Sons of the South were being ganged up on. Despite these odds and the fact that the other players were very uncoordinated, the Sons of the South kicked arse.<br />

Tomorrow night's game is Dragon Rampant. May the dice gods be with you.<br />

I still have more terrain to add, in the shape of more buildings and some drop in terrain features such as corn field, marshes. At some point I am going to create a full river and some small hills.<br />

On the gaming front, we had a game of Lion Rampant the week before last. The less said about that the better - got absolutely spanked! My goblin army failed every courage test and melted away.<br />

This is started way back in February when I picked up a rather nasty little virus which laid me low for two weeks and I then spent the next five weeks feeling very fatigues and lacking in motivation. I did manage to get to Salute; completely missed the bloggers' meet up, though thinking I would soon get back into the blogging bit. Then life seemed to just get in the way; what with end of season rugby, Lions Tour to New Zealand and the fact that we actually did have a bit of a summer, which sadly appears to have gone awol at the moment. Just when I was beginning to think about restarting the blog, I got knocked off my bike! All is well again now, however, and barring accidents, acts of God, should be more regular.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I have decided to make a games table for PBI WWII rules by Peter Pig. As anybody knows, this is a grid based game using 6 inch squares designed for 15mm figures. However, at my age, I cannot see them very well so I am doing square foot terrain and 28mm figures.<br />

I now have 6 foot by 10 foot of games table. I just have to come up with a way of discreetly marking the squares. I put on a few bits of terrain just to give a rough idea of what a game layout would look like.<br />

When the table is more heavily populated with terrain, it should look much better. On that front, I have put together a couple of building squares which have been sitting under the bed for at least a year. This will be an ongoing project.<br />

Next Monday, we have a multi-player game of Lion Rampant. Hope to remember to take some pictures, instead of merely swearing at the dice gods.<br />

'til next time ...<br />

I have managed to get in two games so far this year; both of which I even managed to win! Not sure how I did that. The first game was a WWII bash on the Eastern front. Me, the plucky Russians versus Adrian and the dastardly Germans. It was one of those games that could have gone either way but for the fact I think Adrian was caught between two stalls and couldn't decide where to commit his troops. Plus some very unlucky rally rolls.<br />

Russian Infantry advance, taking the central farm, with the help of a KV1 which was hit repeatedly but everything bounced. It eventually knocked out the offending marder. At that point the German dice gods departed. With a string of unsuccessful rallies and out of ammo rolls the game was up.<br />

The second game was Pulp Alley at Adrian's in his loft. I was the baddie and Adrian was the goody, playing the doctor and his minions. I thought I had lost but, at the end of the game, when we totalled up things, it turned out I had won. I have no idea how that happened but good fun was had. Unfortunately, I forgot to take any photographs. Bugger!<br />
<br />
On the painting and making fronts I have completed a church which is vaguely Russian looking, and some very nice Rubicon kits; an early Panther and an early Tiger. They go together very nicely. Also two resin vehicles from Die Waffenkammer, which are very nice if you don't mind waiting absolutely months and months for. Canadian post is supposed to be even worse than ours.<br />

The last post of the year.Wishing everybody a Happy New Year and I hope you all had a good Christmas.<br />
<br />
Since my last post there has been no gaming. This might have something to do with all of the above (ie Christmas) what with the usual shopping, preparing, entertaining and being entertained, drinking and eating a little too much. That and having to work right up to the last minute!<br />
<br />
This year, gaming wise, has been a bit on off. Discovered Lion Rampant/Dragon Rampant, which is great fun, and has got me back into fantasy gaming after a very long hiatus. Consequently, have been putting together a small but ever-growing goblin army and have been tinkering with my own World War II rules and getting a few games in.<br />

Convention-wise, the only games show I went to this year was Selwig. Will definitely be getting more in next year. One hopes, for next year, to be getting slightly more gaming in and am looking forward to another variant of Lion Rampant - The Pikemans Lament - which I have pre-ordered and hopefully will be falling on my doormat early in the New Year.<br />

In the absence of much gaming this last month, I have managed to get a bit of painting done - some German WWII and basing up some more goblins.<br />

My plans for 2017 are, hopefully, to get a small pile of MDF buildings put together, finish off several boxes of partially painted WWII vehicles and get started on figures for Pikemans Lament. Plus, I seem to have acquired a small pile of Greek/Trojan figures from Foundary since I am thinking about gaming in Bronze Age Greece, a period that has always interested me. Homaric tales of daring do.<br />
<br />
Just looking for a suitable set of rules to kick it all off.<br />
<br />
Once again, I wish you all a Happy New Year and thanks for putting up with my intermittent ramblings. I will try to do better next year.<br />
<br />
Cheers<br />

On Sunday, managed to get myself to Selwig. I have to admit I wasn't feeling particularly good, but it seemed quite well attended and I picked up a few bits and bobs. I met a few fellow bloggers, Tasmin the War Gaming Girl and a couple of Posties Rejects. We had a quick chat. It has to be said a lot of the traders were selling very similar product as the war gaming market seems to be dominated more and more by the big players imho. It was, however, still a nice show.</div>

A very nice game of Chain of Command; really enjoyed the terrain - always something to aspire to. Had a good ole' chinwag with the gentleman running it.

As usual, life has got in the way somewhat.<br />
<br />
During the course of the summer I have been slowly renovating some of my terrain which, as you know, can get a bit battered over time. And, as I have gone up to 28mm, since the eyes don't work as well as they used to, I have been making new bits of terrain and discovering the joys of MDF buildings.<br />
<br />
I have knocked up a couple of 4Ground buildings which, despite my misgivings, went together very well, even if they were a bit fiddly. With a bit of work they look great.<br />
<br />
I also put together a very nice Sarissa windmill which flew together, even with my modifications.<br />
<br />
On the workbench I have my third 4Ground building which has gone together very well and I have put together a small maize field.<br />

On the gaming front, we have been playing a lot of Dragon Rampant which is always a hoot and a very subtle rule system. We will probably be having a go at the new offshoot (The Man Who Would Be King). I may be dragged into a new period - lots of colonial skirmishing. Plus, on the horizon, is Pikemen's Lament; another variation of the Lion Rampant rules.<br />

We have also been playing a World War II mash up of Crossfire, Fireball Forward with bits of other rules that I quite like. It is slowly coming together.<br />

Gaming for the next four to six weeks will be somewhat curtailed as the shed will be full of furniture and various kitchen paraphenalia as we are having some restoration works done but I will try to get as much painting and making done as possible.<br />
<br />
With a bit of luck, I might actually make it to Selwig this year - fingers crossed.<br />

Cheers!<br />

This is a tutorial-ish on how to do teddybear terrain.<br />

The obvious one teddybear fur, a good set of clippers (I used wahl clippers, picked up on ebay for a song). Also forest green fence paint, paintable window sealant, and a good strong hair brush of some description for brushing out the fur and help stop the paint matting on the fur.<br />

First up trim the fur right down for your road layout, then trim the remaining areas down to varying lengths to create fields and rolling grassland. Then give it a really good brushing. Next get your acrylic sealant and apply to road lines and smooth - I used some old bits of plastic card to smooth it all down. Leave <br />

Next up the painting of the fur; relatively small amounts of paint, steadily worked in. Latex gloves come in very handy at this point as you can knead it in and work it around. The brush I used was a smallish 1" brush. I worked in areas of about a square foot. Once you have completed a small area, the sturdy hairbrush comes in handy to brush the fur through and stop it clumping. Basically continue with the next area and repeat. Once everything is painted to your satisfaction, give the whole mat a good brush, then allow to dry. A sunny day really does help in this respect.<br />

Once dry, again give it a good brush to remove any clumps. I then took it back inside and painted the roads. I used a cheap brownish acrylic availble in most hobby stores. This was then heavily dry brushed. Once this has dried, go back over your fur and trim any bits that need attention ie fields or clumps of grass that appear too long.<br />

Of course, now I have a new terrain mat, we had to have a game on it. Come Monday night we had a cracking game of Dragon Rampant. Suffice to say, I thought it looked pretty good. Here are a few in-action shots:<br />

On the eventful day, Thursday, 23rd June, while the rest of the UK was voting whether 'in' or 'out', we were having our own small domestic crisis. The French, I am told, had sent some warm air over which then mixed with the local air and we had a major precipitation event (ie it rained a lot!). We woke to discover this:<br />

Fingers crossed, we will just have to replace some carpets in the mother-in-law's living room and the dining room and the lino in the kitchen. The man shed at the end of the garden was untouched. Hoorah! :)<br />

So, gaming life is unaffected and this Monday just gone, we managed to get in a game. One of Adrian's concoctions set in Vietnam which was good fun and frustrating in the extreme for young Larry. As the dastardly Vietcong, ie me, refused to stand and fight but used hit and run tactics. I still received a bit of a hammering but did not suffer too many casualties. It was great fun and the dice gods were with me. A few pictures to follow.<br />

Oh well, that's enough for the time being. Hope all is well with everyone out in blogging land - Don't let the bastards get you down.<br />
<br />
Remember what is important in these troubled times - your friends, your family - and it will probably all come clean in the wash.<br />

<br />
The reason I have not been posting that much, ie at all in the past year are many fold: First up time - or more accurately the lack of it. I was working a 60 hour plus week and blogging seemed to come at the end of the list of things to do after painting and gaming and real life.<br />
<br />
Second, my computer died for a bit, but was ressurrected. Thirdly, I lost my camera at Crisis last year with lots of lovely photographs on it, and finally, small technical issues on how to use my new photographic device and upload pictures from it. I have now sorted this out, as you will see.<br />
<br />
A lot of things have happened over the last year on the gaming front. One of my gaming buddies, Ian, has gone to New Zealand but I gather he is returning for a brief visit for Salute next year. We went to Crisis again. A good time was had by all apart from the loss of my camera. I got quite a few games in. There has been a major shift in scale, brought on by my eyes not being able to see the smaller stuff any more. I am now painting toys in 28mm - who'd have thought?<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, I missed Salute this year as the boss had double booked me. But gaming life has gone on, when we have been able to fit it in. Have played a lot of Dragon Rampant by Dan Mercy. Great fun and chaotic. The Nasty Cough Campain has staggered on. Here be a small selection of pictures:<br />

No less than four of the Monday Night gamers got together; we had a very pleasant evening of rolling dice and pushing the toys around the table.<br />
<br />
This was game 2 of the intermittent - I hope, ongoing - Nasty Cough campaign,set in Russia 1941 so far. The Grey Hoards were commanded by Ian and Adrian, while the Heroes of the Motherland were commanded by me and, when Larry turned up, he gave a helping hand.<br />

We were playing the defenders having mostly hidden deployment. In theory, the Germans would have to use their recky units to go and find them. Adrian had a very Pattonesk use of reconnaisance units (ie straight up the road until something shoots at them). This had mixed results.<br />
<br />

The rest of the German armour went straight up the middle. Not particularly quickly, but in a steady advance; finding an MG bunker, anti-tank rifle and infantry platoon in the corn fields, which they soon saw off.<br />

<br />
The beginning of my Russian front campaign, the advance to the river Nasty Cough. This campaign I hope will be on-going and a regular thing. Monday night's game, Adrian was commanding the invading Grey Hoard and yours truly was commanding the heroes of the Soviet Union.<br />
<br />
The game kicked off at approximately 2 o'clock in the afternoon. It took a while for us to get our heads round the rules as we had not played for months. But, as the afternoon wore on, the speed of the game picked up.<br />

Adrian decided to mass his mighty Panzers Mk2 and 38Ts on one flank and a Stug 3D together with an armoured car on the other, with some infantry. Off they went. First couple of turns they were flying up the table, cautiously.<br />
<br />
As it was a campaign, Adrian seemed reluctant to do the right thing and "charge". Instead he got all tactical.<br />

Pretty quickly, as can be seen here on the left, the heroes of the Soviet Union got thoroughly hammered; they were suppressed and forced back from their forward line of defence. The anti-tank gun - to the bottom right of the picture - spent the whole game either suppressed or legging it, as fast as it could go.<br />
<br />
On the other flank, things didn't get much better, as the Russian armour again was suppressed, forced back and eventually ended up in smoke. Things were not looking good.<br />

Unfortunately, at this point, the heroes of the Soviet Union were let down by the supply corp and proceed to run out of amunition. Luckily enough though, the Grey Hoard seemed to forget how to shoot straight. Eventually, Adrian diverted some of his uber panzers into the cornfield to help out the infantry.<br />

When it eventually got re-orientated, it turned out to be completely useless as it seemed to be firing blanks, having no appreciable effect. Not long after this, the heroes of the Soviet Union decided to live to fight another day and withdrew from the battlefield.<br />

Salute seemed very busy this year, as we had a leisurely stroll round. On the buying front, popped into Last Valley, as I do at every show. Picked up a few more trees and a hedge or too; my collection is slowly growing. Nipped over to Plastic Soldier Company and picked up a couple of kits off them, bought an mdf farmhouse and that was about it. My companions, on the other hand, had a bit of a splurge, as I discovered when we had a quick sit down and a munch.<br />

Too Fat Lardies game. Fighting season. Looked good and seemed to be well attended.<br /><br />
On a personal level, not sure about gaming an operation that is still ongoing in real life, even though UK involvement has ceased/is ceasing.<br />

The above, who I have no idea who it was by, was a cracking display. Again, an awful lot of work put in. Where do these people find the time? All I can say is "I applaud the effort".<br />
<br />
Eventually, we called time, and headed off home. We decided to use the cable car across the river and at £3.40 a pop we thought it was good value and we saw London from a different perspective.<br />

Just a quick thank you to all the people who have commented. I'm beginning to get my head round this blogging lark. Cheers!<br />

More often that not, in my case, the dice gods are against you and your oponent is being particularly obtuse, not doing what he is supposed to, and it all goes a bit pear shaped.<br />
<br />
This month, I was hoping to get on with doing some more bits of incidental terrain such as this:<br />

Salute will be upon us in less than 6 days which I am looking forward to and will spend most of next week compiling a shopping list. The boss is coming with me to keep me in check. I have warned her of fat blokes, ruck sacks, body odour and social ineptitude that can come with large groups of gamers. Whilst she has experienced Crisis in Antwerp, it did help that she had been thoroughly lubricated the night before.<br />

On the painting front, I have managed to finish off some Panzer 35Ts<br />

6 of them - Esci kits - right little sods to put together! Still got one left over in the stash. When I am feeling particularly masochistic I will put it together. Also managed to get hold of 3 lovely Russian buildings, on Ebay, of car and photo paper. I think they look great.<br />

Will try to remember to take my camera to salute and take as many pictures as I can in order to provide a post-salute pictorial. Plus, with a bit of luck we will actually get some games in this year, as the Monday nighters have been a bit slack of late. Too cold apparently in my shed! <br />

What happened?It's been 4 months since my last post. ooooops!<br />
<br />
Well, got back from Crisis. Then of course there was the Autumn Internationals (ie rugby for those who don't do it) and then that there thing called Christmas. Post Christmas came dry January and we now have the 6 Nations. These are my feeble excuses for not posting much as I have been watching rugby, eating far too much food and generally having far too little time to set ink to paper.<br />
<br />
I have been painting stuff but, unfortunately no games have been played, as the Monday night gamers have had a small break, what with my shed being apparently too cold! That is set to change as Spring has sprung.<br />
<br />
I've had a small excursion off the 20mm track and briefly flirted with 28mm toys. But, I have seen the light and am back painting my 20mm stuff. I've also decided to stick with one set of WWII rules and try to generally rationalise and have a bit of a clear out. Will be hoping to get to Salute in April but, between now and then, more gaming and hopefully more regular posting on this here blog.<br />

Nice kit. Goes together very easily.<br />
Just need to find some Russian commanders from my "bits" box.<br />
<br />
I have also been experimenting with some suppression markers for Panzer Grenadier Deluxe. The jury is still out on them. I have not decided whether I like them or not. If anybody actually reads this post, I would be grateful for some constructive criticism.<br />

In addition, I have been reading lots of other blogs; there are a lot of good ideas out there, some of which I have plundered - the suppression markers being one. Incidental terrain on the table, is another. This is basically terrain which looks nice and is pretty but has no direct affect on the game as such (ie patches of flowers, the odd bush, etc. etc.). As such, I have been painting sunflowers. Not finished yet, but will post up when they are complete. Not difficult, but fiddly. I have also rebased my WWII Germans and Russians. I can safely say that is the last time I will do that - not quite finished yet.<br />
<br />
Well that's all for this post. I hope it is not four months until the next one. <br />

How right was I? The boss, seemed amenable to this as well and, one of my gaming mates, Adrian and his boss, were up for it too. So, off we jolly well went.<br />

A relatively painless train ride from southwest London all the way to Southend airport, a bit of faffing about at the airport, as expected, and then a quick hop over the Channel and in less than an hour, we were in Antwerp. A brief taxi ride to the hotel, dump the bags off and then out on the town. Word of warning here for any future travellers .. Belgium beer is quite pokey and, as the boss discovered, they are quite casual about measures of shorts.<br />

The weather was absolutely fabulous, considering the time of year. Getting to Hangar 29 was a gentle stroll through town with a quick stop for coffee and croissants. There was one small hazard on the way, absolutely loads of cyclists. It was a bit disconcerting, in that everytime you turned round there was a cyclist! We discovered the best way to deal with them was to continue as if they weren't there and let them dodge you. It was the safest option!<br />

Inside were two large halls, well lit. While it was obviously very busy, there was plenty of room to move and everybody was very polite and shift out the way if you wanted to get closer to the tables or take photographs. I will stick up a few general pictures of the hall and what was gong on to provide an impression of relaxed and friendly atmosphere.<br />

The food met with approval. The catering was chaotic but good; a weird system of tokens was in place instead of taking cash, but it seemed to work. A sandwich, in Belgium, is slightly different from what I am used to and the boss was impressed too! She had walked her little socks off!<br />

Crisis 2014 was a very enjoyable show and Antwerp in general was lovely. The city has a lot to offer and is still looking good, despite various armies tramping through it. I would highly recommend, if you get the chance, to go and take the camp followers with you, because they will enjoy it too. Loads of shops, places of interest, together with plenty of restaurants and bars, not forgetting the chocolate. We only saw a quarter of it and will be going back again next year to take in more.<br />

Selwig was a bit thin this year; less games and traders and the traders seemed to be too generic. However, it was a good show and easy for me to get to.<br />

First up were two factory buildings that I got at Salute this year; one is for 28mm and the other for 15mm, or so I am told. In my personal opinion it didn't make a lot of difference; basically they were cheap! I think they have scrubbed up quite well.<br />

This is the 15mm factory with some 20mm troops inside and I think it looks quite good and seems to scale perfectly fine.<br />
Next photos are of the 28mm; marginly bigger and also, I think, looks pretty good.<br />

The above three photos are of the larger of the two buildings. Added a few piles of rubble just to delineate different areas of the factory. Next up were three buildings from Starfort Miniatures, I think. These were pre-painted and went together very easily and I quite liked them, despite a few short-comings, which I will show you<br />

Scalewise, not too bad but some of the painting is a bit iffy. The left hand picture you can see where all the joins are and, if you look at the right hand picture, on the roof you can see the slots have not been painted. This means I will have to touch them up if I can find the right colour. I will be getting some more of these at some point, as they are nice little buildings, but I will not get the pre-painted ones. I still think, the guy who is producing these, is working out a few design kinks. That being said, I like them.<br />

Last up are three buildings I picked up on ebay for next to nowt. I can't tell you who they are made by as I don't know but they went together really well - two are definitely for Russian front and the other is a western european house. I will probably leave the Russians in their natural wood colour; just painting in the doors and window shutters and see how that looks. The house will get the full treatment.<br />

Finally, Lion Rampant - new rules by Daniel Mersey - has arrived from those lovely people at Amazon. I have high hopes for these as I never really got on with Saga; with all their silly dice and battle boards. Gave it a go but it all just ended up with us arguing about who could do what. We like to keep it simple we do.<br />

They were both about 25 br each vs a German battle group consisting of 3 tanks, 1 infantry platoon with a mortar and a mmg plus a 50m anti-tank gun. They had a marder as well. Their br was about 25 as well.<br />
<br />
The reason I had separate battle groups for the Russians was that I did not know what time various individuals would turn up. Whoever turned up first got the pick of the two groups. As it was, the two Russian commanders, Larry and Chris, arrived together; leaving the German commander, Adrian, as the tardy one.<br />

The Russian infantry certainly seemed confident but, after one mortar stonk, didn't do a lot as the command group became pinned down.<br />

If you look closely, you will see that the command group and two other infantry sections are pinned and one group, marked by the dice, have taken a few casualties.<br />

On the other flank, German infantry are close assaulting tanks successfully. Burning T70s and KV1s are testament to the old adage "don't drive tank into urgan environment unless they are supported by infantry".<br />

If you look in the top left, you will see the Russian infantry are still a long way back and don't really ever get into the action. The only effective Russian response was to drop their artillary mortars onto the ridge line which killed one section and suppressed others as well as one of the tanks.<br />

Russian a long way back and, in the background, a slightly despondent Russian commander. It turns out, at the end of play, the Germans were actually nearer their break point by 2 but everybody agreed they had given the Reds a pasting. Here are a few random pictures of the game. A good time was had by all.<br />

One of the low ridges that the Gerries will be defending. The windmill is also one of the objectives of the Russians.<br />

One of the low ridges seen from the German end; the small chain which you should be able to see is there to help define where the ridge line is.<br />

Why you may ask. Well my wife has a lot of overtime at this time of year, so, becaues i quite like my wife, i time most of my painting for this period - me at the paint table and her at her desk typing up reports.This all works out very well as we chat away to each other about work, the kids, and life in general; all very relaxing and, if one of us needs a short break to rest our eyes, then tea is made. On average 2/3 hours a night of painting gets done 3 sometimes 4 nights a week. Monday is game night mostly! and friday is the weekend. This will go on 'till some time in March. Obviously, life gets in the way occasionally. Sometimes, we simply can't be arsed! and a bottle of wine is cracked open, feet up to watch the TV; a film or when there is some rugby on. Which reminds me, the season kicks off this Friday - hoorah!!<br />

Had a great time; I am at least half a stone (7 lbs) heavier. Game wise, its been at least three weeks, so we have got a game of some sort next Monday night. This is of course subject to things like working late, "I can't be arsed.", "What! You meant this Monday?" or, in Ian's case, "Its too cold!" or "Its a bit wet" - the big girl's blouse. There are five of us who try to meet up most Monday nights for a game of some sort. The last time was at Adrian's place and we had a game of 7tv which is a skirmish game set in the 70s world of tv cops and robbers, Dr Who, Blake 7; that sort of thing. Good fun, even if its total chaos.<br />
<br />
Before that a game of battle group kirsk.<br />
