Gamin Daze: GruntZ is Fun
http://gamindaze.blogspot.com/2011/06/gruntz-is-fun.html
Friday, June 17, 2011. The scenario was a Sahadeen force and Titan Marine force competing over a fallen VTOL. Yes, those are AT-43 Kolossus walkers from my Highlander Space Bug army. We left them out in the 2nd game. The objective: Downed VTOL with valuable weapons and data to be retrieved. Dead crew scattered about. Sahadeen forces on the move, Infantry with two heavily armed APCs, and a salvaged Earth Force HAMR. These guys have loads of RPGs that will make for their lack of mechanized forces. June 17,...

Thursday, June 23, 2011. Retrival, A GruntZ AAR. I apologize, but I needed to pull the AAR . Stay tune for the next GruntZ AAR. Friday, June 17, 2011. Tomorrow's Wars Last Stand at Red Ridge. How I make my hills. Geo Hexes place on indoor-outdoor carpet, to deter tiles from shifting. Then carefully lay a covering of thin felt lightly over the Geo. Starting at the top then smooth down the felt over the Geo, working your way to the edges. Add trees, buildings, roads, and such and off you go. Sahadeen fire ...

Gamin Daze: September 2011
http://gamindaze.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 29, 2011. Making 15mm buildings pt.1. A while ago on TMP, someone posted an idea to cut down the blue electrical junction boxes. I had a bunch of them sitting around and decided to give it a go. I went out the garage where I had a wood band saw and had at it. I was very pleased with the results. Be warned it requires a steady hand due to the sloping walls. I've included some minis for scale reference. As you can see things worked out well. More to follow. Wednesday, September 28, 2011.

Gamin Daze: Canvas Eagles Newbies
http://gamindaze.blogspot.com/2012/10/canvas-eagles-newbies.html
Thursday, October 11, 2012. My friend, Doug, asked if I could bring over a WW2 game for his son and and his son's scout friends. They had gone to Recruit-Con and gotten bitten by the wargame bug. My WW2 stuff was in a bit of dissaray so asked if WW1 Canvas Eagles would do. I had been working on some rules mods and welcomed the opportunity to give them a run throughly. Delivered by his son Ryan, who had closed in on the ragged Brisfit. The room was a bit dark so picture quality on my iPad suffered. 160; I...

http://blog.ryan.skow.org/2012_08_01_archive.html
Miniature wargaming terrain and miniatures in 28mm. Tuesday, August 14, 2012. Chain Link Fence - WIP. I got sidetracked from the farm house project to work on another related project. For the 'On the Farm' Force on Force scenario I'm planning to run at Fields of Honor. It was the most realistic I had come across. I ordered the kit and was quite impressed with Dennis' customer service and prompt shipping. I ordered on Friday and it showed up on Monday. Here is the USA version. There is another inch of met...
