Cigarette Cards

So as part of my parent's campaign to declutter I have been given Great Uncle Bob's Cigarette Card collection to get rid of. As he ran a pub - as did his parents before them - this is quite extensive... I'd estimate around 2000 of the blighters. I've been diving into this particular rabbit hole but ...

Cruel SEas

So played my first game of Cruel Seas yesterday in a long while - play testing a scenario for a friend. Well we discovered the scenario was horribly one-sided as US ELCO boats are horrifically over-armed and, with this being our first use of torpedoes, really very effective indeed. But we enjoyed th...

Re: What are people buying?

I've just bought 3 15mm Lancia IZM armoured cars from someone selling 3d printed stuff on eBay and they are marvellous.

Time to kick start my back burner East Africa WW2 project....

Re: What are people buying?

Just grabbed a box of the new Army Painter speedpaints....£34 for ten paints and a brush.

Re: Specified commands

I agree with your assessment of DBM - version 1 was fine and then, as with FoG it got ruined by having to keep filling in the holes competition gamers exploited.

Might be worth looking at DBM which (if you don't know) had units assigned to commands under a sub-commander and then action points rolled for to determine how many commands each co...
