A rainy day

 last Saturday was raining hard all day so I headed down to the work room to give a much needed cleaning and organizing.  I started around 8:30 am to a break for lunch and finished around 6:00 pm

The painting station.

Empty RUBs waiting to be filled with figures and stuff.

My reward!

                                                   

                                          

Recent games.

 Well it's been awhile since my last post. We've been playing regularly but I haven't taken many photos. Here's a few of our most recent games. 

First up AWI with A Gentleman's War.

Here we have a Vietnam game with a work in progress for the rules.

Thanks for looking.

Rescue or Assassinate.

We played on Matt's excellent Dungeon terrain the other night. Matt and I were tasked with entering the Lair of the Snake People and removing some captives. Matt's Barbarians to rescue them and my Mercenary Assassins to , well assassinate them.  

The High Priest leads the ceremony.

My stumble into the room and are attacked by the congregants.

The combat goes back and forth.

A near run thing but we're able to hold them off.

Continuing through the caverns we're attacked by a savage beast. 

A frontal attack is not the best way to fight this beast.

The group falls back to better position themselves but not with out casualties.



 

Matt's Barbarians come to assist.

The adventure will continue in a few weeks

Take the road, hold the hill.

A Game with Mark's Little Soldiers from a few weeks ago. Some lucky card draws put the the Panovians in a good position to win a draw.

Another game this time Beef and Beer refight of Killikranke. The Highlanders disrupted the Crowns line but became quite disorganized in the process.

Air support and flames.

 We continued the game from last week. My troops managed to regroup and threaten Howard's force but in the end I had lost more than half my units and was about to be out flanked. 

Berglander Flame thrower sets the house on fire.

Slobainian Guards advance around the burning building.

The HMG lays down covering fire.

The Guards move past the burning armored car setting up a position on the Slobainian flank. 

Air support arrives but inflicts more damage on it's own side than the enemies.

Another fun game. The plane is a wooden kit from Michael's, simple to build and fits well with the miniatures. I'll need to get some closer pictures of the plane with miniatures meanwhile here another pov of it. 

She may be cute but she's not helping us win the battle.

 We played a game last night using a modified AGW using Mark's Little Soldiers. Here's a few photos. We'll finish up next week but things aren't going well for the Berglanders. The General has a mistress which allows the other side to cancel a number card every cycle. 

Mark's Little Soldiers, first battle.

 The Mark's Little Soldiers made it to the table last night. Matt is working on a set of simple rules for these. I think the original rules were for a smaller amount of figures but once we pulled all the figures out Matt tweaked the rules to accommodate larger units. The game moved along well and was fun. No figure removal needed we just laid the casualties on their sides.
