Got embroidered in a most enjoyable game of #BattlegroupNORTHAG at #Hammerhead on Saturday. Didn’t do Ian’s BAOR forces any favours with hair-brained decisions, and dodgy dice rolling.

I had a great day at #Hammerhead in Newark on Saturday afternoon, lots of great games on display, a good few #orcs and #frostgiants too.

Most interesting discussion on your latest episode of the podcast @effektpodcast.org, I tend to make a series of ‘wireframe’ NPCs , has the story develops they will be fleshed out though game play & interaction with the PCs. However, I generally run campaigns rather than oneshots.

Got into a bit of a firefight this afternoon at the #Cavalier wargames show between insurgents and government troops in the jungles of Thailand. Great fun thanks to the guys from Deal Wargames Society.

Some highlights from #Cavalier wargames show in Kent today, where I got to shoot at Zeppelins & witness the locals defending the garden of England from Fallschirmjager in a what if operation Sea Lion #ChainofCommand scenario. A super day.

Ran into the charming Ian Godwin from #CLWC earlier today showcasing his #Napoleonic rules #EmperoroftheBattlefield at the # Cavalier show. Great to see his game out on the show circuit.

Joined Geoff & Dave at #CLWC for a game of #TestofHonour. It was a fun flowing system with lots of action. Successfully managed to get most of my retinue slaughtered while trying to do the honourable thing. It mage me want to have another go of @roundwoodsworld.bsky.social’s #WhentheLastSwordisDrawn

Taking a break from my French & Indian War game of #SharpPractice to watch Ireland take on Scotland. #spreadthelard.

Some pictures of today’s #ChainofCommand game, the German assault on British positions in a French village in May 1940. #spreadthelard.

@yarkshiregamer.bsky.social , @effektpodcast.org & @stormofsteelwargaming.com , but I expect they have been suggested already.

Ah! Blinking hell, the #FestiveTankChallenge comes around quicker every year? Does it matter if they are built and awaiting a lick of paint?

Today we’re off to #zombie town to attempt to liberate much needed medical supplies from a stranded ambulance in a game of #SkirmishRagers

One for you @yarkshiregamer.bsky.social, me thinks.

A serious battle developed around the apartments in the centres as BROR & Soviet units converge on the same point. The Chieftains successfully punched through with a flanking moves to snuff out the Soviet attack. #ColdWarCommander #ColdWarGoneHot

Today’s introduction game of #ColdWarCommander saw the BAOR hold off a concerted Soviet probe.

After far too long I’ve completed my core panzer-grenadier platoon of Waffen-SS baddies. They will be good for #ChainofCommand games on Eastern and Western Fronts right up to May 1945.

This weekend I completed the finishing touches to my Panzer IV H, for @tomjmegan.bsky.social’s #FestiveTankChallenge24. Great to be involved.

Very much enjoyed my run around Medieval Women this afternoon. I think the highlight was Jehanne d’Arc signature. www.bl.uk/whats-on/med...

Having an embarrassment of Ambush tokens from the deployment phase allowed me to set up an mutually supporting defensive line to hold the American tank battalion at bay in tonight’s game of #OGroup. Great fun. #spreadthelard.

In tonight’s game of #OGroup down at #CLWC I learned all about the power of the Panther, as I stemmed the US advance to Cherbourg.

On this day, 84 years ago my Grandfather, pilot, of a Whitley V bomber T4220, did not return from a raid on Wilhelmshaven. Requiscat in Pace. blogs.bl.uk/untoldlives/...

Many thanks @roundwoodsworld.bsky.social & @toofatlardies.bsky.social for tackling my question on the latest episode of the #Oddcast, most interesting listening.
