These days I find I can only paint small groups of up to about 10 figures,otherwise my attention wanders. So skirmishy type games are perfect

As days go, that sounds pretty perfect!

Bliadhna Mhath Ùr So it's a rather belated Happy New Year to everyone... resolutions steadfastly ignored, decorations are down, and I'm bracing myself for the...

Obligatory post-Hogmanay gaming recap of the shitstorm that was 2025...

Drow on a Cow...

Great game. Our main tactic always seemed to be to let yourself get captured so the villain could explain their fiendish plot and then we could escape and foil it. Just like the films then...

My son's much more into this kind of thing than me, but this was 99p on the Kindle so I was tempted. Very good so far...

On the kindle...

Looks great... sadly missing Warfare this year.
Needs a little plaque on one of the buildings to mark where my Uncle Archie was shot (he survived!)

A couple of sessions of vintage microgaming this week with GEV and Starfire...

And here's a snippet of Public Service Broadcasting in action last night

And the final concert in the last 3 days. This time it was the brilliant Public Service Broadcasting backed by the London Contemporary Orchestra and with support from the excellent @hamishhawk.bsky.social

3 concerts in 3 nights. Concert #2.. Iain Matthews and Andy Roberts at @soundloungecio.bsky.social

3 concerts in 3 nights... I'm getting too old for this stuff!!!

#1... the brilliant @juliefowlis.bsky.social at Cadogan Halls

We may never be the same again! Let's hope normality is restored next time and the GM goes back to his usual dice rolling style!

An hour or so of therapeutic stickering cubes for Commands & Colours: Medieval, with moral support from Cisco

Colin... nothing's ever that bad!!

Played Skyteam and actually managed to land the plane!!!

School trips to the Citz in the late 70s/early 80s really opened my eyes to theatre and drama. Sometimes I left baffled by a strange production, but always fascinated

Ah, Drumchapel... land of dreams...

Well, now I've fallen down a Quar rabbit hole....

Skyteam My son gave me a copy of this for Father's Day and we finally got round to trying it out at the weekend.  It's a quick (20-30 minute) 2 play...

Skyteam... possibly one of the best games I've played in a long-time.
Careful strategising and dice placement, tactics, and picking up on non-verbal cues... plays to none of my skills!!!

Doesn't the #3 bus go to Govan? Even his martial art skills won't help him there!!

AI... good or bloody annoying? Of course the answer is probably both! If you've been on any wargaming related FB pages recently you can't miss the flurry of posts showing...

Jumping on the AI animating miniatures bandwagon, which seems to popping up on every FB page at the minute... good or bad, or just a bit annoying??

#salute52
All done for another year... money all spent (very modestly). Lots of small-ish games and fewer of the big companies. Great to see a really diverse audience... very different to my 1st Salute back in the 80s!

Wargamers everywhere... and the endless bagpipes!! #Salute
