How to improve your (basic) speed painting.
1) find your ideal woman and have two kids with her.
2) wait till they are both toddler age.
3) try and keep doing your hobby.
It's a bit of a do or die method but there we are.

Assistant Secretary of the Navy F.D.R. ordered that new minesweepers under construction at WWF be named after birds.
He was an amateur ornithologist.
This order led to the name of the first boat being chosen: Lapwing.

Mordheim weekend begins! My first game was an ignominious defeat - my ninja master fell out of a window and was immediately captured... hoping for better dice in Game 2!

I made a weird little trick-taking game about leading a bunch of mercenaries called Landsknecht a while back. Did some recent edits on it. Haven't shared a PnP game in a while so figured I'd do that. Let me know what you think! drive.google.com/drive/folder...

Haarlemmerhout, where Hannie Schaft, Truus Oversteegen and Freddie Oversteegen would take nazis to "liquidate" them. An honour to be in the same woods, with our little homages. It was so moving to literally follow the footsteps, I'll remember thus forever.

This ain't no battlefield call of duty.
Proper milsims, such as VBS/ArmA are wargames with a ton of actors and often guided by GMs/Umpires.
Variation between realism levels are a wide spectrum.
That said take a look at this little gem and elevate your gameplan.
