What if Rommel’s wife had flu and he didn’t leave Normandy when he did, what if Rommel has moved 12 Pzr, 22nd Pzr, 26th PzrGren and 25th Pzr to the St Lo/Bayeux region on 2nd June?
Interesting “what if D-Day failed” read.

Who doesn't love a little bit of scatter terrain? A 20mm garden filler complete with garden path and grow box. Pleased with how it looks, now to knock out some more.

A change up from Early War French, a small hobbit armed with a pie and sword. Very difficult not to paint him in camo green/brown and give him a MAS-36 rifle and Adrian helmet.

Always a pleasure to catch up with @historianinharness.bsky.social at Warfare 2025. A sneak peek at the forthcoming rulebook and a chance to enjoy the enthusiasm that is infectious (oh and some lovely trebuchets too!).

20mm French R35 finally completed. I think the foliage adds a little something to them too.

Something a little different - Setback and Disaster card holders for a Middle Earth inspired Strength & Honour game coming soon to a Lardy day near you (well if you are on the south coast anyway) #spreadthelard #strengthandhonour #2mm

The Camembert drug crazed French R35 camouflage pattern is sort of complete. Next are the decals once I work out what the hell I need to do?

I hope there is a special level of Hell that the Camembert drug crazed French designer of their camouflage pattern resides in! What’s wrong with good ‘ol olive drab?

Great progress on the Frenchies. Base painting done and now the exquisite joy of the application of a wash to actually make them half decent.
Why do base coated minis look they have been painted by a toddler?

Another bunch of 20mm French infantry and AT gun crews begun. Hardest part of painting as it seems you have miles to go and the enthusiasm can be hard to find. Painting as per wargamingthings.blogspot.com/search/label... #wargaming #spreadthelard

At Colours 2025 I had a fantastic chat with passionate @historianinharness.bsky.social about upcoming kickstarter for Écorcheurs (which I butcher when I try and pronounce it). Looks like a great narrative driven ruleset for the HYW period. (Sorry for the bad photo btw) #Ecorcheurs #hundredyearswar
