The Fantasy Big Box for One Hour Wargames needed a little something extra, and with the long Thanksgiving weekend, there was plenty of time to goof off at the hobby bench.  (It’s really more of a counter.)  So I slapped together a quick terrain piece to spruce up the...

When last we left the good people of the Targan Empire, their border towns and forts had been over-run by a sudden invasion of the dark forces of the nearby kingdom of the Necromancer King.  The Patriarch of the Empire, High King Sisterbanger, quickly dispatched a small delaying force...

Neil Thomas’ book, One Hour Wargames, is worth buying for the scenarios if nothing else. It includes 30 different scenarios of all sorts – symmetric, asymmetric, full terrain, open field, delaying actions, you name it.  While they are written specifically for the rest of the rules in the book,...

The completion of the latest big box presents a first chance at playing Neil Thomas’ One Hour Wargames the right way – fully based and painted figures, full color terrain, and every option in the book available to both players.  To kick things off, and help us stay motivated...

That last post was getting a bit image heavy*.  So how about a second post with a nice group shot of all four units of hard charging knights ready for battle? Now that’s what a massed charge should look like.  None of this three-figures-per-stand nonsense you see from guys...

This post sure was a long time coming.  Four stands of 6mm medieval knights ready to roll for a game of Neil Thomas’ One Hour Wargames.  These are all Heroics and Ros figures mounted on basswood bases three inches wide by two inches deep.  These stands each have one bannerman...

One of the little challenges for old men like me who game with little men like these 6mm Heroics and Ros figures is finding a way to make it obvious from a distance which little horde is which.  One of my helpful solutions is to base the individual figures...

Don’t think I mentioned yet that this whole army is built from the fine medieval range of Heroics and Ros.  Today’s offering is the poorly armed rabble called up from every mudhole village, handed a sharp stick, and pointed at the enemy.  What these levies lack in courage and...

The second couple of foot troops for my matched medieval armies is the shooter types.  Almost fifty of the little buggers on each stand makes for a fine visual show.  It might not be enough to blacken the skies, but it looks so much better than an army with...

With things slowing down at work, there’s finally enough time to start showing off the second Medieval army for One Hour Wargames. First up, the dismounted knights.  Close ranked, heavily armed and armored, well drilled shock troops....
