"Oh look, a deserted temple, what can possibly go wrong?". Possibly one of the best ways to start any game 😂 #SpreadTheLard #WhenTheLastSwordIsDrawn

Painting 20mm 1940 BEF 1940 BEF Rifleman With my French forces painted , I wanted another force to face the Germans and of course the British Expeditionary For...

If you fancy painting some BEF with some lovely Blanco No. 97 webbing, I have put together a quick guide using Vallejo paints.

I’m not at Salute this weekend, but Richard & Too Fat Lardies will be there with some awesome games and the first sales of the new Chronicles of Midgard supplement. Find them at the end of the hall!
(Next show for me will be Partizan on May 17th). #spreadthelard #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings

A tense and brutal game this evening. Campaign turn four on The Road to Bremen and the British clear table three on their second attempt. Despite 30% casualties. combined British artillery and tank fire ground the German force morale down to zero. A British win.

Back on the Road to Bremen. The British take a second crack at Table Three, this time with lots of artillery. A campaign for Chain of Command.

Connoisseurs of plastic skeletons may remember the Wargames Factory kit where you had the fun of sticking the feet onto each mini. Today, I have found myself chopping the feet OFF the 10mm Wargames Atlantic skeletons… #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings #spreadthelard

1st game of Sharp Practice.
My foe, Two Tiger Tony did his usual and bought the biggest gun available; a 12pdr and proceeded to blow my French away.
The 7th Hussars flank attack failed by a whisker.

We did more wrong than right but it's a good start

A few years back, I did a guide to creating magnetic movement trays for games like Midgard Heroic Battles - handy if you want to be able to play both battle & skirmish games with the same minis. You can find it here: mogsymakes.net/making-magne... #miniatures #spreadthelard #wargaming #nerdlings

Sometimes losing yourself in miniature painting is just what you need to occupy your mind.

First BEF infantry section completed and just needs basing.

The British A and B companies demonstrated tremendous fortitude (especially B in the centre) as they weathered Andy's heavy defensive fire; but it was on the right flank where every platoon in C company was needed to take the church, suffering ~50% casualties. #spreadthelard #wargaming

Andy's defence was careful and measured. He successfully denied the bridge to British armoured reinforcements. As a result this armour contributed very little, and the fearsome Crocodile remained off the table. Both sides made good use of their mortar support. #spreadthelard #wargaming

...only for the final platoon in C Company to put in a charge which cracked the nut. Elsewhere the remaining the defenders of a critical third BAU were whittled away. #spreadthelard #wargaming

In interesting game where the British held the initiative and momentum for much of the game, only for this to ebb away at critical points. As we were about to call it a day the British seemed to have fought themselves into a standstill, failing two assaults on the church... #spreadthelard #wargaming

Yesterday saw an overdue return of O Group to the table. We played (in 6mm) the first scenario from the Normandy book; 6th Royal Scottish Fusiliers (Ben and I) were to assault St Manvieu in the early stages of Op Epsom against the 26th PzGrenadiers (@andycrow.bsky.social). #spreadthelard #wargaming

Normandy O Group today against Ben and Rob, using Rob's lovely #6mm setup. The 6th Royal Scots Fusiliers faced a stern fight to break into St Manvieu, but a third assault on the church finally broke the back of the German's resistance #SpreadTheLard

Yesterday’s visit took us past Castell del Rey near Pollença, Mallorca. Seemingly more rock than castle, this feels like it should be in a Conan movie! #miniatures #wargaming #spreadthelard #nerdlings

Currently working my way through this excellent tome. I see some game and campaign ideas ahead for Chain of Command 2.

Medieval wooden panels from Palma, still pretty vibrant centuries later. If I’d been around in medieval Mallorca, I’d like to have been doing this kind of thing. 😃#miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings #spreadthelard #medievalhistory
