Miniature Hobby Gaming

A few weeks ago I hosted a game at the local game store depicting a portion of the battle, which involved French and Americans attacking the German positions. The Americans didn’t make a showing in the game, and the French forces were less than I had planned. As a result, the game was a difficult attack for… Continue reading

We played a game today recreating a portion of the 2nd Battle of the Aisne in April & May 1917. The particular section was the advance by a large number of Schneider CA.1 tanks; the first significant use of tanks by the French during the Great War. I’ve selected a few of the best pictures… Continue reading

I’m not posting descriptions for this, just the pictures from this game, that went very well as the Germans poured through British lines, slowly being reduced, but not quite enough to keep them from their objective; the bridge over the Aisne, which would set up the next stage of the battle. https://www.facebook.com/groups/314945359158358/permalink/1347268375926046/ Continue reading

I threw together this Flames of War game at nearly the last minute, so I had to work with the models that I already own and have painted. It represents a portion of the Soviet attacks over the Narva River that Summer, with the Axis forces all being foreign SS formations, in particular the Estonian… Continue reading

We played a fictional battle today with attacking British attempting to wrest a small village and adjacent farms from the Americans. In the end, their casualties were too great, and the former colonists held the field. Continue reading

I’ve not posted in a while, and I thought that I’d share some of the photos that I took of the Flames of War game that I organized for my local gaming group a little while back. The concept was the advance through central Berlin on 30 April – 2 May 1945 that was happening… Continue reading

This past weekend, I ran the latest version of a tournament event that I’ve named “Fords of the Potomac”. This being the ninth go-around, I’ve attached “IX” to the end of the event name. It was hosted at my local gaming store, Huzzah Hobbies, where I can be found once or twice a week, playing… Continue reading

As I mentioned, I am working on Berlin terrain lately. Here is the bridge that I plan to use as a stand-in for the Moltke Bridge, which needed to be captured by the Russians right before they began their assault on the Reichstag. And these have nothing to do with Berlin, but I just finished… Continue reading

I’ve been working on terrain for playing 1945 scenarios in Berlin, with buildings/ruins that will be compatible with both 15mm and 20mm gaming. Lately, I’ve been putting together some models for it, both ones I’ve had sitting around for a long time, and ones I’ve recently purchased. Here are just two of them. Severely damaged… Continue reading

Of my painted Rev War figures, this is the first set that I’ve recently completed painting and rebasing for the “Rank and File” rules. Infantry are on 40x40mm bases. This first picture is of British Center Company Infantry Receiving, numbered 4551 in the Heritage catalog (H 4551) and 2051 in the Iron Brigade catalog (IB… Continue reading
