After a tough afternoon Golf 2/5 fight through to the MACV Compound in Hue. A valiant effort by the NVA and probably a political victory with large US casualties. Hoping to bring this game to Partizan #spreadthelard
Some more pictures from our Charlie Don’t Surf game. US heavy armour are doing the heavy lifting. #spreadthelard

Not doing much social media this week as I’m off in Spain but had to share this one. Having trekked to Castell d’Alaro (once the strongest castle in Mallorca, according to Jaume l) it seemed only right to grab a photo of a couple of Reconquer minis #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings #spreadthelard

Second game, table three, of the Road to Bremen campaign saw a resolute Heer platoon stall the British advance. A triple phase, close combat and a viscious Flak 38/4 all played a part. Chain of Command 2 at it's best. With @stormofsteel.bsky.social

Not quite sure how I managed to lose an 85 point a side Indian Mutiny #SharpPractice game last night when at one point my Force Morale was 10 whilst Phil was on 2 - but I did! 🤦 #SpreadTheLard #DoingAnAndy
Despite aggressively pushing up two sections the German defence on the bridge was solid and threw them back to lick their wounds. all scenery and figures from Dex. #spreadthelard

GW rat Ogres with basic colours blocked in
8 GW Skaven
6 mounted command figures from Footsore for Goths and Romans Base colours painted
British and Italian ships primed black 2x CAs, 2x CLs, and 6x DDs for each side to get me started
#WIPWednesday #Nerdlings
A lot going on. Plastic Skaven for #Midgard ready for washes. Metal heroes for other #Midgard armies blocked in. Clearing the decks, so I can get to 3d printed ships primed.

The British Light infantry and Rifles managed to cause enough damage to the French Grenadiers to cause force morale to hit zero after about a dozen phases of play.
Hurrah! Sharpy does it again!

US Parachute Infantry Platoon - except the bazooka team which I forgot to prime - doh! All 15mm Peter Pig #chainofcommand #spreadthelard #wargaming

The fleets close for action, with La Metrique keeping the British at bay ⚜️⛵️, and La Candela leaving the line to hunt the British frigate, HMS Sterling 😮🤔🤣 #SpreadTheLard #TheFullNelson
At the Club with “The Full Nelson” - if only any of us knew how to sail… or even move ships on a table! ⛵️👍 #SpreadTheLard #TheFullNelson
Order put into Pendraken for a german company plus some HMG, mortar abd armour supports for IABSM... £75 for a whole force. Amazing times.

Here’s what 600 skeletons look like on the painting table! Two boxes of the Wargames Atlantic 10mm Boneblades in various stages. With one box already completed, this should give me 9-10 Midgard Heroic Battles Units on 80x40mm bases . #miniatures #spreadthelard #nerdlings #wargaming

Battle of Gallabat 1940
A post from a fellow Lardy gamer got me remembering when Scrivs and I played this at the Cannon show in Retford in 2013! We used I Ain’t Been Shot Mum! Full picture report here: mogsymakes.net/the-battle-o... #wargaming #spreadthelard #miniatures #ww2wargaming #nerdlings
Some HO railway repainted and ready for some gravel to be added. A before and after picture so to speak.

Second block of buildings are now printed, and laid out on the 6" x4" to get a feel for it all. Painted building in the distance is a proxy for the Van Limburg Stirum School (not yet printed) which give a good idea of distances down the ramp #wargaming #spreadthelard #chainofcommand
The finished a platoon of 1940 French infantry. 15mm Battlefront figures from their early war range. Also jump off points, a barrage marker, an extra section and a HMG. For Chain of Command.

Thanks to @stormofsteel.bsky.social I've been able to try out the spraypainted fleece technique for fields. Also progressed (varnished) an early WW2 French platoon for CoC2.

Today's British Civil War 1938 battle in Chain of Command².
A force of Imperial Fascist League camel dragoons probed Anglican defenses and nearly dislodged them with grenades, but Chinese convert volunteers heroically held the pub and drove them back at bayonet-point. #wargaming #spreadthelard
Very useful test, but luck of the British exceeded that of the Teutons. King Tiger was too little too late. Scenario seems pretty settled #cloglard #spreadthelard #chainofcommand
In case you missed it, the official introduction to Chronicles of Midgard went up on YouTube last week. Watch Richard and myself explaining what’s in the book and playing through a campaign turn and scenario. #miniatures #wargaming #spreadthelard #nerdlings
