Square Bashing yesterday with Dean. The Battle of Bourlon Wood, November 1917. British forces attack German held positions in the high ground of Bourlon village, Bourlon Wood and Fontaine village. #wargaming #ww1 #peterpig #tanks #worldwarone
A game of Lasalle 2 tonight to introduce @thedexmchenry.bsky.social to the game. his spirited French assault on my British lines failed to gain any headway despite repeated column attacks. a great fast play game that comes to a conclusion in a couple of hours. #napoleonicwargaming #wargaming
Having had a bit of a painting drought recently, I've got back in the saddle and finished off this French 3rd Rate ship that has been sat in the drydock (painting desk) for almost a month. Another fine model from @warlordgames.com #navalwargaming #wargaming #portlandbill #warlordgames #heaveto
Just completed these from @battlefrontminiatures, from their Panzerjager 1 platoon box. I made two Bison, two Panzerjager 1 and two sIG 33 guns with the addition of some extra crew. A very versatile box set with lots of options. #wargaming #15mm #ww2 #bigguns
Chilling in the sun with Tiny reigniting my interests in First World War Wargaming #spreadthelard #wargaming #WW1 #throughthemudandtheblood #cats
a birthday trip to the English Civil War Centre in Newark. an excellent, but small museum covering the conflict and Newark's place in it. I still have no interest in wargaming the period though... #history #museum #ECW #donttellhimpike
The first day of the week off spent building and prepping some German early War armour and artillery from Battlefront. #15mm #WW2wargaming #wargaming #Battlefront
A British 1st Rate leaves the boatyard. It's nice to add a big bit of oak to the fleet, so there's also a picture of the Royal Navy as they stand. #spreadthelard #thefullnelson #wargaming
Sitting in the sun on my Arras reading about Arras. #books #ww1 #Arras #history #FirstWorldWar
Two wrecks from Warlord games Black Seas scenery pack (affiliate link here: collabs.shop/0xxdf1). These will serve as objectives or even obstacles in The Full Nelson. #navalwargaming #wargaming #sinkingfeeling #baleout
I've not painted anything in ages, but I did manage to finish off these scenery pieces from @warlordgames for their Black Seas ranges. A shore fort, shore batteries, lighthouse and a few outcrops. Something for ships to avoid. #wargaming #navalwargaming
Over the last few days I took the guys from @littlewarstv down to the Sunken Lane at Beaumont-Hamel. It's one of the most recognisable places on the Somme. We recreated the famous film still and I think we made a pretty good go of it. #ww1 #somme #somme110 #firstworldwar #worldwarone
Day three of the battlefield and we are at Waterloo! nuff said. @LittleWarsTV
day two of the First World War tour with @LittleWarsTV . A stop at Serre Road, followed by a morning at Vimy Ridge, then on to Ypres with a look at Hill 60. #ontour #history #ww1
Day one: Thiepval Memorial, Thiepval Woods, Hawthorne Crater, and not shown, Auchonvillers, & Lochnagar Crater. Smashing day of First World War nerding with @littlewarstv crew. #ww1 #somme
I've gone further today than the German army did in the Spring of 1918.
Another Royal Navy Third Rate joins the fleet. #wargaming #navalwargaming
General D'Armee 2 battle using Warlord's Epic scale figures. shortly after Waterloo a British force has trapped the battered remnants of Napoleon's Armee D'Nord in a valley. #wargaming #spreadthelard
CoC2 France 1940, the German attack turns into a cake and arse party with the French shooting holes in them. the French destroy the bridges and conduct an orderly withdrawal. A meeting without coffee for Steve and I. Good defence by @thedexmchenry.bsky.social and Jon. #spreadthelard #wargaming
More playtesting of The Full Nelson today. HMS Tiny and L'Gras tear lumps out of each other. #spreadthelard #thefullnelson #wargaming
The Battle of Nibeiwa December 1940. British and Commonwealth troops attack an Italian held line with support from the 7th RTR. The Italian trenches held initially, but were slowly overrun and the tanks proved themselves in the breakout. Another excellent game of IABSM #spreadthelard #ww2 #wargaming
For Waterloo day we played a game of Sharp Practice, where the British Guards attempted to get supplies through to Hougomont. Blocked by French infantry and skirmishers, even the arrival of a contingent of Nassau soldiers couldn't help! #wargaming #spreadthelard
I was working on a 14mm French Char B1s from Battlefront just to get an idea of early war French tanks colours. Ooh la la. #wargaming
In the post today from @vickersmg.bsky.social An excellent resource on the tactical use of the Lewis gun in the later stages of the First World War. #books #ww1
Another Warlord 1/700th 3rd Rate, this time it's for the Royal Navy. #wargaming #navalwargaming #thefullnelson
