Today I managed to get a small game using some of my 20mm British and German forces, I set up a small 4ft x 4ft table of a French village somewhere in Normandy. The rules I was using were a simple set called USE ME Ultra Simple Engine for Miniature Engagements and has been designed for 15mm [Read more...]
They had killed the creature in one of their outlying sectors and towed the great ship back to the colonies jump gate to be dismantled / dissected and shipped back to Earth system to be analyzed. Very few of these bio ships have been seen over the last 100 years or more not since the great alien [Read more...]
My orders were in and they were what I had expected “send in a strike force to sector Alpha 200065 Delta and take the mining station from the enemy as this would set their ship building plans back a few years if it could be held or even destroyed” Even though I knew these orders were coming I [Read more...]
I was going to do some painting of the last few ACW ships I have but I ran out of basing card so a picture of the ships will have to do for now, three new simple 3D prints and a long lost USS Commodore Morris ( from Peter Pig ACW range ) I only found this a few days ago hiding at the back of one of [Read more...]
Well now I am back at work I am finding it harder to get in a game but over the last few evenings I managed to get in a playtest of another Stars & Lasers scenario, this time using some simple solo rules mechanics.

Well I received some spaceships in the post from a friend ( thank you 😉 ) and decided that I would paint them straight away so that I could get a big game with them as soon as I could… so a couple of evenings later and I had a nice little fleet ready for the gaming table. Nine of [Read more...]
I have put together two more free scenarios for Stars & Lasers. The first was kindly written by Vic Dobson and it is another great scenario, based this time on the story of the tanker Ohio during the 'Operation Pedestal' the supply convoy to Malta in August 1942 Can you get the tanker [Read more...]
Another good night of painting done for my 15mm sci-fi forces this time some much needed support. First off, we have a couple of heavy tanks, these should give the infantry some killing power. Next there are a couple of light infantry support vehicles with multi-barreled autocannon and [Read more...]
I spent a few hours over the last couple of days painting some of my 15mm sci-fi figures, and it made a nice change, it was good to get some painting done. These figures have been sitting in a box for a couple of years now waiting for me to get them finished, I did base them all and primed them a [Read more...]
