Musket & Tomahawk French

Just before this years Salute, myself and Zed were planning our purchases to let us play Musket & Tomahawk, we had looked at various manufacturers, and were ready with our shopping list.

The days before the event, we had an email from 4ground that mentioned a 15mm M&T game they would be showcasing at Salute, and suddenly from out of no where we were rewriting our shopping list.

We both plumped for 15/18mm figures from Blue Moon, supplied by Old Glory UK.

Here are my first 400 points of French, I have used this force against Zed's British in two practice games, and although they have come out second best on both occasions, I am still happy with the composition and I'm sure I'll add some more garcons in the near future

The Big Dux

Binx and I are planning a second outing of Dux Bellorum this Wednesday and with that in mind I thought it a good time to post a pic of my completed Welsh Warlord and faithful chums.

The banner and shield designs are all Little Big Man studios transfers.
The base is a modified 4Ground movement tray.

And here he is ready to continue the fight in Saga, his loyal bard proclaiming songs of his heroic deeds!

Good Life Gamer - May

 

Good Life May.  So how did May work out?  Let’s find out, together….

Buying

It went quite well, I found some 1/100 or 15mm scale aircraft from Revel, their micro wings range, which have some of the more popular WW2 aircraft I wanted and for less than £3 each.  I bought a Typhoon, a Hurricane, a ME109 and a FW190.  I plan to use these for both Flames of War (FoW) and Battlegroup Overlord (BGO).  Unfortunately the first kit I built, the FW190 was missing the canopy. I have  contacted Revel in German and I am waiting for the replacement to arrive.  So far so good.

I bought Airland Battle for the PC after an article I read on Model Dads.  Curse you.  It is very pretty and rather challenging but somehow manages to keep the pace of the game manageable rather than the 100 mouse clicks a minute that Star Craft 2 requires.  Set in 1985 means that I am very familiar with all the British Army kit as I served at this time.  This will unfortunately compete for my table top hobby time.
