Wargame and history enthusiast with a big green shed. In the Warshed there is only war. And a strimmer.
I'm at Bovington Tank Museum for a wargames event during the South West model show!
And this is what my newest piece of terrain will be joining! Normandy 1944. It’s been a while since I’ve had this out for a game but still loving that farmhouse (farmhouse and barn where Ironclad miniatures whilst the walls were from the always amazing @sabotag3d.bsky.social ) #15mm #spreadthelard
Over on the dark side, someone has suggested that I use Artificial Intelligence to create my illustrations. This is completely untrue, I use Natural Stupidity and here's me doing it.
Crossfire at the club last night with my Victrix 12mm and various 3d printed vehicles. I was introducing new players and it was a huge success. Used the core game for infantry but some homebrew armour rules from balagan.info These worked really well. German counter attack failed to oust the Brits.
1982 - Warsaw Pact invasion of Poland. After advice from my gaming buddy in Denmark, the road system for the rematch has changed. @IAFuller is also updating the OOB. So we refight next Thursday! #shedowar #wargaming #wargames #6mm
Fantastic day at Joy of Six today - barely got to take photos of anything between talking about or running Over By Christmas! Lots of interest in it, so definitely going to get a version of it out. Cheers to @iainf.bsky.social for coming up and lending a hand
A few hours free in London this afternoon. I haven’t been to the RAF Museum for years. Love their WW1 collection, including these German ones.
Had a cracking game of 28mm ACW. A fictional scenario being played tested that saw my Union Division force the river crossings to deliver a comprehensive victory. The Irish Brigade were instrumental in the attack! #Wargaming #ACW
Element. Games in Glasgow opened today. Shop quite a way from complete wrt fitting out, but oodles of stock and a good wide range. And discounts!
I finished up a Rogue Trader Space Marine for my Admech Necromunda gang. It was an absolute joy to paint this model. #nerdlings #roguetrader #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #miniaturepaimting
Another vintage Avalon Hill game at the club last night. Squad Leader scenario 1: Stalingrad. I played the Soviets and defeated the Nazi invaders. This was my first time playing this legend and I actually enjoyed it! I understand it does get a bit fiddly...
My ninth pike and shotte regiment - this time the Earl of Manchester’s. The last unit needed for the game at Broadside wargames show next Saturday and this stage of the project is complete!

My impressions of Crossfire: loved it. It was a solo learning game but the strengths really showed like the fast pace. No static firefights, lots of movement forcing players to juggle priorities. See balagan.info for house rules (tanks in particular). I think ive found my go-to WW2 rules...

Aerial reconnaissance photograph taken early afternoon showing the captured village.
Final assault as 1 and 3 platoon secure a foothold in the village and just the defenders. 2 platoon in reserve in walled orchard.
No1 platoon successfully suppresses the defenders and succeeds in capturing the walled orchard and then pushes into the village with support of a Sherman Vc.
The British have stormed up the left flank and neutralise the Pak40. They then move into the church but come under fire. On the right flank the british attack starts to bog.
The game continues. 1st platoon rushes up the flank, captures the walled orchard. The Shermans, having pushed out the German platoon in the field, run into the Panther with disastrous results. However, the 6 pounder is quickly deployed and manages to knock out the Panther.
The opening moves of my try out of Crossfire in 12mm (1:144). Smoke deployed and the tanks advance down the southern road.
Solo try out of Crossfire rules. The plan: British to push down the right flank with tanks going in first to flush out German defenders (positions circled in blue). Liberal use of smoke to screen the advance to contact. Brits need to be wary of Pak40 on left (yellow) and Panther on right (green).
