Sittangbad - Scenario

This is an old school scenario refitted for modern times and for use with Force on Force.

A major Taliban offensive in Helmand has been thwarted by British forces and the resulting counter-offensive has the group running for the hills. The local leader is unwilling to loss his most valuable supplies and has set up a rear-guard operation in advance of the main bridge across the Sittang to give him time to evacuate his headquarters.

Off tomorrow for a short campaign of epic Commands & Colours: Napoleonics taking on a joint British-Russian expedition to free the Batavian Republic from the French grasp!

Lead Painters' League continues

Apologies for the prolonged hiatus, it's been a busy few weeks at work and at home (including an outbreak of Chicken Pox!).

Season 7 of the Lead Painters' League continues with Round 6. An especially wide variety of subjects this time I feel (though I inadvertently seem to have picked out a seam of Dark Ages entries!). As before I'm not picking out my favourite pieces, but I'm hoping to highlight a few match-ups which are (or ought to be) very close.

Chindit Support Weapons vs. Darkenwald Scouts

Here We Make Our Stand vs. Dystopian Legions Britanian Infantry

Named Men vs. Citizens, We Must Feed the Revolution 

Head on over to vote for your favourites!.
I had been preparing a summary post showing highlights of Salute from other people's blogs (like this one from 2011); if anyone really wants to see it, let me know...

Blue Squadron

So, I've kicked off my main project for the year: Raid on the Diomedes

A single multi-purpose fighter

Along with the main pilot's wingman

Two pairs of the fighters will provide protection for the Diomedes

In case you're wondering they're from Brigade Games' Squadron Commander Range (these are the EuroFed line). So, I'll start doing the attacking craft soon (in red!)
