Organizing the Kriegsspiel blocks for Command Post Games Waterloo. I found a set of bead organizers that are a perfect fit for the box.
Pub Battles Monmouth canvas map with blocks from a Kriegsspiel Bunker hill game…

Testing out some Kriegsspiel blocks with my Pub Battles maps/scenarios. The smaller blocks work a lot better.
Storage solution for the wooden bits for Ancient Pub Battles. The bits come in cloth bags that sell the time period but I found they really slowed down the setup. This clear tray makes it faster to set up and play…
Using more clear trays for organizing the counters in Littoral Commander. Makes set up easier and faster.
Space ship miniatures set up on table for a learning game. I will be playing this game co-op tomorrow so needed to relearn the basics.
3 player characters fighting some ‘tremors’ style enemies from the roof of a farm house. Luckily we were able to stun them before they could disappear back underground…

#StarsofAkarios
Lots of hobby stuff this week. Restarted 4 year old D&D campaign, played a few refresher games of Stars of Akarios, and worked on box control for Ancient Pub Battles and Littoral Commander.
Battle blocks and battlefield with no terrain. Right flank was devastated by rampaging elephants which is why it is so empty.
Final moments of the game. Elite Roman cav outflank the enemy line before they can reform.
#PubBattles
Played my first learning game of Ancient Pub Battles. The battle system worked better than expected with multiple commanders being able to each activate the same units and cav getting to charge over and over again as long as they aren’t disrupted.
Mid battle. British break they on the left but their right started to crumble.
Greene desperately defends his baggage train while on the opposite end of the line Sullivan is able to capture the British baggage… train ending the battle.

#MusketBattles
Replaying the battle of Brandywine again but this time at Brigade scale. I tried doing the direct assault across the river instead of the historical flanking maneuver and it failed as expected. I’m looking forward to trying Germantown at this scale…
Initial clash of battle. Shows dragoons outflanking and colonial right and middle engaged.
Final push. The grenadiers assault the hill as skirmishers attack thru the forest. Cannons turn to fire on the dragoons…
As colonials flee from the hill the grenadiers assault the unprotected colonial artillery.
Final battle lines shown with 6mm miniatures. Blocks added to show the individual commanders.
Replaying the battle of Monmouth for the 4th of July. Neither side achieved their primary objective but the colonials achieved a minor victory… they were forced to give up the high ground at Kerr farm but they held the forested road to the north.

Long shot from the show of colored blocks on period maps used for military planning.
Close up of colored blocks and a chess piece on period maps.
A medium shot of the same map and blocks with notes and reports along the edge of the map.
Shot of Pub battles blocks and maps…
I’m rewatching the show…Turn:Washington’s Spies for the 4th of July week and really enjoyed these shots of military planning. It made me realize what a good job #PubBattles does at capturing the period feel of the games maps and components.

#4thofJuly
American Revolutionary War battle on a historical map with a mix of colored blocks and painted miniatures.
Trying something different with #PubBattles tonight. Using the blocks for fog of war but once the units have been spotted I swap them out for 6mm miniatures.
#PaintedMinis
Historical map with no gamey elements. The game just uses a few colored wooden blocks… no tokens needed to mark status or state. Blocks are rotated face up if disordered. A single hit disorders a unit. The second makes it retreat. The third destroys it… very simple.
#PubBattles
#Brandywine
I’ve been looking at a bunch of different ‘rank and flank’ miniature rule systems lately but in the end I decided to just play Pub Battles tonight instead. I love the look of the blocks on the historical maps and how quickly it plays.
