Interlude

This post has nothing to do with miniature wargaming.  You’ve been warned. Big fan of college football here.  I’ve spent the last month whining and bitching and moaning like a little girl over the travesty that is an in-conference bowl game – and a national championship game no less!...

AK-47 Test Drive

Before jumping headlong into the AK-47 Republic game, I put together a basic ‘test drive kit’ using plain cardboard marked up with markers.  A few big irregular chunks for terrain, and me and my son were off to the races. Now that’s budget terrain. The main event featured a People’s...

New Project Time

Coming Soon Eventually Picked up a copy of this fun little ruleset recently.  Tinkering with force selection and terrain needs.  Need to figure out whether or not it can be done cheap and portable. First need to make sure game is worth spending real money on.  Will test drive...

Packing It In

Three posts in three days!  Woot!  Gotta love those three day weekends. It’s also fun to have things to show you guys that you haven’t seen yet.  Wish it happened more often.  Here it is – the whole shooting match. All nine square-feet of real estate can be tucked...

Gamer’s Eye View of the City

Merry Christmas!  My own little gift to you is a few shots of my completed cityscape.  Check this bad boy out.  Nine square feet of battleground ready for armies of little plastic warriors.  Of course, if you have more table to fill, and you have a ice gray drop...

Four Square Feet of City

As a Christmas present to myself, I completed the holiday preparations early enough that I could devote a few hours to finish up the big cityscape.  So here they are, the last four blocks of the city-scape. The round thing in  the back is some sort of modern concretesculpture/...

Home Stretch

Remember way back in October when I hoped to have this city table done by year’s end?  I’m not quite done, and it’s not quite the end of the year. The paint streaks show up in these photos more than they do in real life.  They are also way...

Big Project Blues

The problem with big projects like city scapes is that you do so many repetitions of the same work.  Take these shots, for instance: Two more buildings base coated and ready for The Dip.  But we’ve seen this before, haven’t we.  The only real new thing in this shot is the...

The Promised Land: Work In Progress

Just as promised yesterday, I’ve got the first of a series of work in progress posts for all you faithful reader out there.  Most of the work here was accomplished over the weekend: The brown portions of the ground here were primed, a little sand added, and then primed...

An Itch Not Fully Scratched

Wha-hey!  Guess who still has the gumption to slap some paint around?  That’s right, it’s your old pal, Warren. Check it, peeps, the public utilities board is totes complete: It’s a little light on cover, but it’s the heaviest board in the box. So it should be rugged enough...
