I don't think mines stopped in the last few weeks, now I've about fifteen buildings to do. I need a bigger painting table. 😁

Today's CoC games part two. German sutzen truppe push through the Belgian defence line. Suffering from no AA defence and shock proved critical as the Germans three armoured vehicles swamped the defence. The T13 & the Pz4 slogged it out all game but it wasn't enough and the Belgian were brushed aside

Today's table for our 1940 "Blitzkrieg" Chain of Command game. Belgian regulars vs Shutzen truppe, the Germans with Suka support managed to destroy or damage three buildings and put a UXB in two more putting the Belgians on the back foot straight away.

Just back from Partizan and a cracking day catching up with folks which was proceeded by an equally great day at Steel lard where I won a prize. Nothing says Sheffield more than a bottle of DeeDar juice , cheers guys, appriciated and thanks for a great day.

A great read and his in depth knowledge of the area and defences really shows.

Steve E @broadsword252.bsky.social · 13d

Duly noted, I think I have some M4A2 in the stash that would be useful additions.

Steve E @broadsword252.bsky.social · 24d

Tim, thats exactly what's coming next for the Broken markers. Big chickens 😁

Steve E @broadsword252.bsky.social · 24d

Thanks.

Im hoping they'll work well on rubber roads too but I'll have to experiment first.

Steve E @broadsword252.bsky.social · 24d

My latest batch of Shock markers rolls off the bench. 20mm Ducks because when troops are under fire... they.... Duck 🤣😂 They all ended up being Mallards because generic ducks look very similar to chickens in this scale but then I guess Chickens work too.#chainofcommand. #spreadthelard

Let's see what these can do, high hopes for these washes to help bring my terrain project together tonally.

Looking forward to having a bash at that, it looks fantastic.

Joe, its a lovely model and an ideal size having some bulk to it but not dominating.

So after another fantastic weekend at Ebor lard and big big thanks to @johnsavage.bsky.social and after playing on @joewargamer.bsky.social fantadtic terrain, I'd not been home long before the printer sprang into life. Thats inspiration for you.

Getting lots of political posts and reposts on the feed, please go back to X (Twitter) for that crap or don't be upset when I unfollow you. We left X to leave that crap behind not bring it with us.

So Sunday i had an idea, expand the Aufklarungs truppe. This morning the kits arrived (PSC 250 Neu), now, built and firming up. Hopefully some stowage tomorrow and if to the paintshop for primer. Got to love Quick build kits.

Steve E @broadsword252.bsky.social · Aug 24

Cheers Andy, been trying to up the terrain game recently and its starting to come together albeit slowly.

Steve E @broadsword252.bsky.social · Aug 23

Table set up for today Chain of Command game, somewhere in France, 1944. A nice simple play through of the V2 probe scenario with a standard Whermacht platoon vs British infantry in the offing.

Oh i like that..

HUMAN ARTISTS OF EARTH! Use only one photograph of tiny painted toy soldiers or buildings to convince people to follow you.

One of my Char D2, based on a real tank from.a unit I can't recall now it encapsulates my love of French WW2 armour and my desire to get thier complex camo right.

Chainofcommand V2, French regulars try to hold of the Germans long enough to evacuate the refugees. 3rd Gruppe de Combat took a beating trying to hold the JOP long enough for the refugees to reach it, then flee. Meanwhile attempts to hold the translation weren't going well but, the refugees escaped.

Steve E @broadsword252.bsky.social · Aug 18

Quick terrain addition, a slightly more upmarket walled garden for a mid to large house as it try to add both realism and variation to my terrain set up. Should be good for Chain of Command.

Fresh out the paintshop, two AMR 33in 20mm for 3e RAM, 3e Division Légères de Cavalrie, 1940. These will provide much needed moral support for my French Cavalry platoon. However if these high speed lightly armed and armoured death machines are relying on the rule of cool rather than actual quality!
