Agravain!

My daughter pre-ordered a copy of the latest Hail Caesar supplement, Once and Future King for my birthday. Ordering direct from Warlord you got this metal figure representing Arthur's nephew.

I have got him painted up for our first foray with Midgard on Monday.

Look out for a report of how it went next week, until then.............

Continúe Transportando.

You may recall I picked up a Hispano-Suiza truck from Empress Miniatures at the recent Partizan for the Spanish Civil War collection.

Again I didn't want it lanquish in the pile of potential so quickly got it underway and here it is.

Gaming returned to OHQ this week with Dave been mobile once more. I arranged a WW2 game using Bolt Action III, a force of German Volksgrenadiers with tank support would be trying to breakout from an Allied encirclement.

Unfortunately I neglected to take any photos after the first turn, not as it really mattered my Volksgrenadiers didn't advance much after that. Constant pinning by British fire virtually halted the German advance after turn two. The breakout ground to a halt completely in turn five, pinning and poor planning on my part led to failure. It was good to see pinning being the order of the day in third rather than killing everything in sight in the previous incarnations. This like the game over at GHQ recently was certainly more WW2 than 1940K.

Until next time, here are the pics.

Let Us Go Forward Together

A fitting title for an infantry tank and a link between the two different Churchills. A Churchill "Infantry" tank, named after the Duke of Marlborough, a Warlord Games/Italeri kit for my 28mm late war British force.

If Dave has recovered enough to drive it may hit the table next week. Keep tuned until then KBO

Panzer Marsch

The latest vehicle to leave the painting table is this 1/56th scale Panzer IV Ausf H from Rubicon Models with Empress Miniatures crew.

Currently on the go vehicle wise are for the SCW a Hispano-Suiza truck and a fripery to compliment the upcoming addition to their range from Empress Miniatures and for WW2 a Churchill tank.

Republican T26

I picked up another T26 from Empress Miniatures while I was at Partizan for the Republicans, not as though they need it with the current run of victories ably commanded by Senor Bickley.

Rather than let it lanquish in the to do pile I have set to and completed it.

Also under the brush is a Hispano-Suiza truck I picked up at the same time.

I have also amended my Bolt Action House Rules and added a target acquisition test rule for anyone who likes a less god like vision of the table top.

Toodle pip for now and as always KBO.
