My entire #2mm pike & shot army. I estimate 1200 cavalry and 4000 infantry.

2mm painted infantry and cavalry from Irregular miniatures. You can see tercios and more traditional pike and shot bases. Based on MDF bases from Warbases and flocked.

Another playtest of True Commands Ancients today with @gamingthepast.bsky.social . Today we worked on facing, morale & rally, which brought up other commander moves as well.

Playtesting The Charge, a light-hearted wargame about the charger of the light brigade. I got 67 of required 70 victory points here. So close. But then I also lost most of the light brigade, so it was a grand failure which unfortunately I couldn't blame on a subordinate.

Unboxing Desert Blitzkrieg

Check out this new point-to-point game on the war in the western desert in World War II from Compass Games. Low counter count, and card-assisted, with a mounted mapboard.

Heavenly Bodies came out great (even with some small graphical improvements I’ve made since then!)

With this in hand, I’m now gonna hit *send* on the full order of 50! Wish me luck!

The first of my Arnhem Heroes that has been fully blocked in and washed. First relayering of the trousers done, and few more shade of highlights left on those, and then weapons and webbing and weathering.

If this great thread has crossed your timeline as it has mine, then you might enjoy this clip from SOE agent Harry Rée's interview with the Imperial War Museum. He describes his fistfight with a German of the Sicherheitsdienst, or SS Security Service.

#UndeadOctober movie 11: What We Do in the Shadows (2014). A documentary crew follows a group of vampires in New Zealand. One of the great mockumentaries of all time, with great comic writing, timing, and acting. The TV sequel is great, but it wouldn’t be here without the original, and it’s a joy.

Over 40% of corn grown in Indiana is used to make ethanol that cars burn. One acre of corn yields about 16,500 vehicle-miles per year of ethanol, which sounds high until you realize that one acre of solar yields about 2,700,000 vehicle-miles per year: 16,000% more driving for a given plot of land.

“To me, the fun in Monopoly isn’t really in playing it.”

Ha, no shit buddy

Experience: I own the world’s largest Monopoly collection

Every set is exciting. I’ve currently got 4,379 different ones. The dream is to hit 4,500, maybe even 5,000

On World Mental Health day, I thought I'd re share this #Podcast with @battlegames.bsky.social covering that very topic. Those who have listened to me before can expect the usual bad language but I think we hit t'nail on head with this.
