It's almost Halloween 🎃

A birthday remembrance for Roddy McDowall.

He's well loved and also an excellent guard dog.

Alfie never seems able to relax 😉

I've been considering paper armies for some time. Finally, I took the plunge. I don't have a lot of money for gaming, and these work out incredibly cheap in comparison to figures. I love them, and the Peter Dennis artwork is beautiful. The Saxons are almost done now.

I haven't been on here for a while. Now I'm being asked to provide age assurance to access my messages!! Is that legit? It takes me to a website that wants to either scan my face or check my credit card? I don't plan on doing either.

Warning, this house is protected by a fearsome guard dog 😉

Alfie the plant.
I think I've posted before about some of his unusual sleeping positions, and yes, he is asleep. This is the best so far!!

This is good news for cyclists.

Be aware the Fortress Dwellers also occasionally bagpipe.

They've been one of my Tik Tok follows for a while. Great to see them getting some love on here now.

How wonderful.

Langton 1/1200 scale ships are wonderful. Another club member swears by them. I have mostly Navwar.

They are 1/700th scale. Normally, we game with 1/1200.

They aren't mine, another club member 3d printed them, and the guy I played painted them.

The rule book was first published in 2011 by Pen and Sword, who more recently put out a paperback copy.

We were using "Blood, Bilge, and Iron Balls." There is an element of record keeping for ship damage, which some say slows it down, but it is a more realistic game to play.

Last nights game at the club. I do love a Napoleonic naval skirmish game. I lost!! I'm very good at that 😁

Morning 😁

Alfie, happily watching the world go by. He must have been quite comfortable, he fell asleep like that!!

I had my first game of DBA on Monday night at the club. We suffered a glorious defeat as both of our flanks collapsed, mainly due to my ability to roll ones at the most inopportune moments 😂

Yep. Never grow up, it's a trap.

Do you also post on the Facebook 2mm page? These look very familiar. Also, they are excellent, by the way 🙂

I received these Irregular Miniatures 28mm ECW figures this morning. It's my first journey into their larger scale, as I've mostly purchased 2mm or 6mm from them in the past.
I absolutely love them, the details are beautiful. Exactly what I need to finish a regiment.

This is my daughters Sunday drive, I certainly wouldn't get in her way, that's for sure!!

It's happening. After a 2 year break from writing, I have finally started outlining my 9th book, which is a dark fantasy. Perhaps fitting for the world we currently find ourselves living in.

Alfie isn't a fan of rising early, he prefers a more sedate start to the day. He's probably saving his energy for when he resumes digging up the lawn!!

Tonight, we had a game of Nimitz at the club. Great fun. I even managed to shoot at and sink one of my own destroyers. Don't ask 😂
