The Stronghold Rebuilt: May 2015
http://hordesofthethings.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, 31 May 2015. I have a couple of vehicle projects on the go inspired by the latest Mad max film, and I'm sure they;ll get posted here once they're completed, but here's one that is just at the 'Wondering How To Start' stage. I'm not even sure how Machinas will cover it yet. But I it will, even if I have to batter the rules into submission in order to do so. Ladies and gentlemen I give you - the excavator on a truck!

The Stronghold Rebuilt: July 2015
http://hordesofthethings.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Friday, 31 July 2015. The Spawn of Tiamat. We played more 36AP HOTT last night. Until Peter arrived the only armies available were mine, so Geoff decided to take the Weird Reich, whilst I used my Sumerian mythological Spawn of Tiamat, with allied elements from Asag and the Stone Allies (hence all of the rocks). Tiamat attacked - she's the big dragon in the middle, although she's classed as a Magician. In the centre was a battle of the Behemoths - giant robot vs giant boulders. I then found myself facing ...
The Stronghold Rebuilt: I Can Show You The World
http://hordesofthethings.blogspot.com/2015/08/i-can-show-you-world.html
Sunday, 9 August 2015. I Can Show You The World. It was a Whole New World for our occasional Sunday afternoon gaming social when we played Ravensburger's 'Flying Carpet'. I took it along as something to offer a quick starter game before we played some Cosmic Encounter, but in the end we just played three games and left it at that. Flying Carpet' is a beautiful game to look at, and involves up to six players racing flying carpets through an Arabian Nights landscape. Here's Maya looking thoughtful. Here's ...
The Stronghold Rebuilt: June 2015
http://hordesofthethings.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Monday, 29 June 2015. Several years ago I built a steampunk robot out of Lego. I do that kind of thing sometimes. Since I have been pondering the superhero roleplaying game 'Supercrew' over the past couple of days I thought that it would be an interesting exercise to write him up. He was originally designated the Steam-Powered Ambulatory Difference-Engine, but 'Babbage' seems a good name for everyday use. Here he is in Supercrew terms. 1 - Repository of Knowledge. 2 - Robust Mechanical Body. Those who fo...
The Stronghold Rebuilt: The Mule-Shoe
http://hordesofthethings.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-mule-shoe.html
Friday, 7 August 2015. It's a while since we've played Longstreet, so in order to give us a reminder how to play Ralph put on a small scenario based around the 1864 Battle of Spotsylvania. As seemed to be the norm for that era, huge lumps of Union troops would be hurled at Confederates in defences, in a preview of WW1 but without the classy aircraft. The Union assault, all formed up. They were forbidden to fire until they had assaulted the first line of defences. The Union took the first line of defences...

Flashcove's cay: April 2015
http://hafer2ken.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 23, 2015. Captains and Kings and the War of the Roses. I decided to have another go with my War of the Roses retinues. Unfortunately for the poor figures, the dice gods were unkind on the Leader rolls! Sir Blue's Foot Knights were led by Sir Red himself a Rep 5 leader. His men-at-arms were led by a Rep 3, which would effect them mightily on activation, and his bow were led by a Rep 4. Sir Red was not so lucky. He was a Rep 4, his men-at-arms with a Rep 3 leader, as were his bows! Turn 6&#...

Monday, July 13, 2015. Modifying Fat Dragon Games' Borderline Keep tower as a stand-alone piece. I recently decided that I needed a stand-alone tower with a basic interior for gaming purposes. Searching through my paper models, I found that Fat Dragon Games http:/ www.fatdragongames.com/fdgfiles/. Borderline Keep had a tower that was about 5 " square and should do admirably. Since the tower sides are symetrical, I just printed each side twice for the exterior and interior. Here's a bottom view. I had...
Flashcove's cay: March 2014
http://hafer2ken.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 30, 2014. Rally Round the King armies from Mighty Armies boxes. So, I now have a couple of friends who are willing to play Rally Round the King. I have converted my Barbarian army to that ruleset and done my Orc army to the same. Let's start with the Orcs. Here's the whole army in one shot. There are 5 Orc bases at 24 points for a total of 120. Plus a Foot Skirmish (Archers) at 8 points, a Black Orcs base (where my general is) for 36 points and a Dire Wolf Rider base for 36 points. Then we ...

Sunday, April 27, 2014. Yes it's always that black orc Grishnac, isn't it? Well, he won't be coming back! This is a Rally Round the King game of orcs versus elves. It did not go well for the orcs. But yours truly forgot some things, of course. For this game the orc commander had a War Rating of 4 and the elf commander 3. Of course, the orcs out-scouted the elves, with a skirmish unit against nothing but heavy infantry for the elves. So the orcs are the attacker. Turn 4: The orc commander orders a charge,...
A Miniatures Hobby Room: September 2014
http://volsminiatures.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
A Miniatures Hobby Room. A blog site dedicated to the wargame miniatures hobby. Monday, September 15, 2014. GHQ 22 Gun Post Ship HMS Laurel. Here is a 22 gun ship from GHQ. It can be modeled either as a sloop of war or a 6th rate post ship. The HMS Laurel was a post ship and this is the name I picked for the model. The Laurel carried 22 nine pounders on her upper gun deck. The model has no guns on the forecastle or quarterdeck, another reason I picked the Laurel. A Miniatures Hobby Room. The Tides of War.

Saturday, August 8, 2015. A New RPG Adventure. Although I haven't been playing any miniature games lately, I have run another RPG session tonight.

A Miniatures Hobby Room: January 2014

A Miniatures Hobby Room. A blog site dedicated to the wargame miniatures hobby. Friday, January 31, 2014. The Design Accuracy Delimma. Building ships from four manufactures who produce the same named ships always brings up the question "Who's ship design is the accurate one for this vessel? From: http:/ www.todoababor.es/vida barcos/nav 74can.htm. As you can see, the GHQ model matches the graphic on the Spanish Navio site to an impressive degree IMO. A Miniatures Hobby Room.

A Miniatures Hobby Room: Scratch Built 1/1200 Third Rate 80 Gun Ship of the Line Tonnant
http://volsminiatures.blogspot.com/2015/07/scratch-built-11200-third-rate-80-gun.html
A Miniatures Hobby Room. A blog site dedicated to the wargame miniatures hobby. Monday, July 6, 2015. Scratch Built 1/1200 Third Rate 80 Gun Ship of the Line Tonnant. It has been a while since I posted anything. Spring came early and the Honey Doos sort of put a halt to the work in the shipyard. But the recent record high temperatures in the Northwest and the fact I caught another cold has allowed me to spend some time for my current passion, Napoleonic ships. Forecastle: 6 brass long 12 pounders'. Broad...
Warwell's Wargames: 1:1 Scale Wargaming
http://warwellwg.blogspot.com/2013/06/11-scale-wargaming.html
Saturday, June 22, 2013. I have been remiss in posting lately, primarily because I haven't played many games this month. However, last week I engaged in an activity that one could call wargaming at 1:1 scale. Pictured above is a shot of one of the battles at last week's event of the local chapter of Dagorhir Battle Games. In Dagorhir, participants engage in mock combat using medieval-style weapons made of fiberglass and foam. I tried to put an end to the Dragon Lord's reign, but I was defeated. I had som...

Minimum Wage of Mayhem
Minimum Wage of Mayhem. Metal, Punk and Etc. Sunday, January 24, 2016. Dave Kendall knew what was up in 1989. Sentient thing sayer Mr. Shitpeas, speaking on 2015. Somehow I left this place dormant since oh, say early 2014. Welp, getting my writing back in action is one of my New Year's Resolutions for '16 so let's get to it. Here's the lot of the music/movies/books I liked in 2015. Anyhow, here's what I loved in 2015 and yep a lot from a certain wrestlin' obsessed Florida label. 1 KILLING JOKE - "Pylon".

The Stronghold Rebuilt
Saturday, 24 March 2018. Maurice Campaign 2 - This Time It's Personal. On Thursday we started another six-player Maurice campaign. Unfortunately Gary (Ottomans) couldn't make it, so we rigged the pairings for the first war so that Caesar (French) opposed him, with their game to be played at a later date, whilst the remaining four of us picked one or the other to support and paired off against each other. Racts which is, as best as I can tell, an army-sized gang of Irish mercenaries with an. The infantry ...
