The pirates had arrived while most of the stations crew were sleeping they hadn’t had a chance, a few had put up a fight in and around the control room but that didn’t last long.

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...]

I managed to get a quick game using my ACW ships today, just wanted something simple so did a “run rabbit run!!” type scenario. Basically the Confederates had the job of chasing one lightly armoured Union ship while it tried to survive and the other Union ships had the job of shielding it as best [Read more...]
