So it’s official I now have 2 big projects. The first is slaughter in the snow Ashdown 871 using 28mm figures. The second new project is slaughter in the snow Eylau using 6mm figures with 16 man companies, 9 companies per battalion. 1 base = 1 company.

Does anyone else suspect that Alfred offed his brother King Aethelred somehow in order to become King Alfred?

I find it very surprising that no manufacturer has yet released any plastic sets for the Seven Years War in Europe that I’m aware of?

Airbrushed with dark aluminium then a black wash applied. Now to lightly dry brush them with a silver. P.S. Anyone else originally taught to spell medieval medaeval? #28mm #victrix #miniatures #wargames #wargaming #midgard #minipainting #miniaturespainting #darkages #earlymedieval

72 off Victrix 28mm Saxons now primed black as is proper. They will not be based individually. They will be based on large bases for Midgard and To the Strongest rules. @yarkshiregamer.bsky.social #28mm #victrix #miniatures #wargames #wargaming #midgard #minipainting #miniaturespainting #darkages

Byrhtnoths Saga or Byrhtnoths Choice, or, damned if you do, damned if you don’t and the battle of Maldon CE 991. A thread 🧵. Byrhtnoth was Ealdorman of Essex (East Saxons). Born 931 CE and died at the battle in 991 CE at 60 years of age.

Did you know Hereward the Wake resisted the Norman invasion from 1066-1071 with his base and fortress being Ely Cathedral. He was betrayed by the monks of the Cathedral in 1071 who showed the Norman besiegers a route through the bogs and marsh of the fens around Ely.

Did you know Anglo-Saxon Shire Reeves (Scir-Gerefa) were responsible for law enforcement and tax collecting in a local area and it’s where the word Sheriff comes from. Some Sheriffs led contingents at the Battle of Hastings for the Anglo-Saxon army.

Did you know, there was Anglo-Saxon invasion of Normandy to capture Duke Richard II of Normandy during Aethelred II (Unroed/Unroedas - lacking council/ill advised) reign. Well, possibly, possibly not. It didn’t go well, if it did occur.
