Thursday's Leftovers

I didn't want to make yesterdays posting too long so here is the usual weekly fare.

Internet Picks

(1)  Australian Civil War 1933-39 [Alternative Time Line] - for those who like the idea of VBCW but not the setting/factions:

Weekly Roundup


Sunday 4th February 2018 - Vapnartak, York

Really cold and trying to snow.  Two false alarms and too many people.  A dearth of book sellers.  Didn't buy much - should have emailed suppliers before I went.

OK....so what did I buy?  18 foot, 6 cavalry & 2 carts (all from Museum Miniatures).  8 Vikings will join my growing Welsh DBM army.  10 Arab blades and 6 horse will make those tins heavier. 

The 2 carts are intended for Indian armies as anti-elephant devices.  I will attempt to convert them into WWg(X) for some of my Chinese armies.


Monday 5th February 2018 - WDW

Impetus - 10mm Samurai fight (again)

Setting the East Ablaze - trying to get the Russian Tsar out of the country whilst the Reds try to capture or kill them.

DBM - Galatians v Polybian Roman.  Jim didn't have much to do on our right flank.  I marched forward with a mass of Wb(O).  Andy had to hold off the mounted Roman hordes on the left. The Roman centre and right collapsed.
