Exciting News....

Can't talk about it quite yet until it's formal and it's not that big a deal except to me and some wargamers.

Repost From Last Night

Here is an update I meant to post last night.  Not quite sure what happened.

Anyhoo...

As mentioned last night, I tried mixing in some smaller 6mm infantry with 3mm armor and I think it looks OK.  This is the one rare time I would not use Adler infantry.

Taking Stock

SBGC this month was a giant flea market (i.e. A chance to buy other people's excess from their collections) and while I didn't end up running a game as planned I did pick up a decent collection of buildings and a three section city bridge replete with damaged twin for $25.

Almost no one will be surprised I was hawking the free table which had some very cool stuff including a box of 25+ resin 15mm AFVs.  I snatched them up but then in a dream bubble I saw my wife giving me unapproving looks so I gave them to 2 people who are both trying to jumpstart their FoW collections and I was happy to help them.  I also passed on 15mm Crimean War and Mexican-American sets.  Willpower!!!!

So I am organizing all my new stuff and while putting it away realized how truly giant my 6mm WW2 collection has become.  I am assembling a table of my formations which I'll share in a couple weeks.  I also have AWI and some Victorian era British infantry and some fertile crescent infantry of some sort.

Sorry no pics tonight.  Have a boatload to get done.....I want all this stuff painted by the end of the year!!!!

Jagdpanzer 2 @ Printers

First run of the updated rules @ printer.  I'll be working on the templates for the game.
In the meantime, here's more pics from the game with Steve last night.




Eine Kleine Jagdpanzer

Earlier this year I was approached by Steve Marsh about taking advantage of our relative proximity to one another to start playing weekly.  Well our summer series kicked off with a bang tonight as we took a clash between the French and Germans from the Panzer Grenadier series 1940 component and used Jagdpanzer 2 rules.

Pacificon (ConQuest) 2012

So given that I have most of Adler's American WW2 infantry it's high time I use them so my Pacificon game this year will be one of the Torch landings.  I'll coordinate with Eric Lee who will be doing a fun battle from Operation Goalpost.
