A blog about miniature wargaming and my latest Piquet projects. Sunday, April 21, 2013. Gripping Beast plastic Saxons. Here are some pictures of some Gripping Beast plastic Saxons I painted up and double-based to form shieldwalls for Piquet: Archon. The variety of poses you can get from the plastics almost makes the annoying assembly worth it. Flag and shield decals by LBMS :. April 21, 2013 at 9:11 AM. April 21, 2013 at 10:03 AM. They are just fantastic! Great work on those beautiful Saxons! Here is an ...

Blunders on the Danube. After Action Report - 39-45. Pre-Battle View of My 39-45 Tabletop. View my complete profile. Saturday, December 6, 2014. After Action Report - 39-45. This wasn't much of a contest, I'm afraid. I kind of stacked the game against the US, giving the Germans a Tiger II and a Panther platoon. I wanted to find out if the best of the German tanks were really powerful. After that loss, the entire infantry platoon went suppressed, and the writing was on the wall. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Blunders on the Danube. View my complete profile. Tuesday, March 11, 2014. It's been a while since my last post - too little time due to work and other hobby priorities. We had a nice 1809 game, with tweaks to Field of Battle 2 that I wanted to try. Turns out that the tweaks really didn't do much, which reinforces my belief that FoB2 is pretty robust already. Some photos from the game:. Austrians defend to the left, as the French press the attack on both flanks. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Blunders on the Danube. One More Vacation Note - White Man Runs Him. View my complete profile. Friday, August 21, 2015. I think any reader of this blog now knows of my dislike (to put it mildly) of Belicheat, Tom Baby, and the New England Cheatriots. I've always felt the saying "where there's smoke there's fire" seemed to usually hold true. Belicheat smiles for the cameras. Tom Brady shows how much integrity he has remaining. I can't believe my wife talked me into this hairstyle". At Last Stand hill.
