Gathering No Moss
Huge events keep grinding away out there in clown world, but your humble host has too much work to pay more than passing attention to it. Feels good, man. Taking Jordan “Ciderman” Peterson’s advice, I’ve spent the bulk of my free time completely renovating my bedroom. If you want...
Little Big Guns
Every table a masterpiece. It took the littlest figures around to get me to appreciate the majesty and spectacle of Napoleonic Wargaming. There’s just something far more satisfying about shoving brigades or divisions of 50-100 figures around, even if they are a lot smaller, than there is in shoving...
2mm Gamers Rise Up!
Is something of a 2 mm Renaissance is in the air these days? Or maybe it’s just observer bias – that I notice more 2mm projects because I myself am working on 2mm projects. Whatever the case, if you’re interested in 2 mm projects have I got a doozy...

Scattered Shots and Thoughts
Time to make a scene! Can’t fight for the throne of the Trossian Empire if you don’t have a continent of Tros to fight on. So let’s take a look at some of that scatter This is all 2mm terrain from either Irregular Miniatures or PicoArmor. Irregular trees on...
A Big 2mm Update
The big hoopty for 2020 here at Chez Inabox has been the move to integrate 2mm scale gaming into the mix. Not only that, but we determined that a move into the new frontier of mass battle black powder gaming was in order. We like to zig when the...
On the Eve of War
The War of the Trossian Succession Approaches! The fourth of five armies takes to the field in dashing black and capped in yellow. This time around it’s the not-quite-Prussian army, all 38 stands of 1-inch square menace. That leaves just the not-quite-French army and a whole lot of terrain,...
