SYW campaign
They tell me that campaigns are the height of wargaming. I've never participated in one. I've been thinking - always dangerous - I'll try to run a short, SYW campaign for 2 of my pals & me. I want to participate not umpire but awkward number, 3,so there you go. My proposal is to fight three, lin...

Re: Von Imhoff Brunswick infantry regiment
Is it possible, Will, you could take a photo of ALL your S-S figures? It would be an impressive sight.

Re: Annual Show game - a problem
Thanks for all the interest. The really aren't many/any armchair experts attending. We are the only wargame there &, still, a curiosity. The Train show attracts a near total majority of parents seeking to distract their children & train enthusiasts. None have even heard of historical, miniat...

Re: Annual Show game - a problem
You're an Aussie, Dal. Do you really think most Brisvegans would have even have heard of the SYW much less recognise an incorrect uniform? No, it's for us, not them. I thought about your flag swop idea but that would be a fairly sizeable task to transform & then change back.Even re-locating new ...

Annual Show game - a problem
We've staged a two day game at our local Train Show for 15? years. This year, without telling us, they moved the date & 2 of our number will be OS at the time of the Show. Apart from missing their company, they were providing about 25% of the figures for the ECW clash. So - ECW is postponed. Wha...

Re: Maxen- a SYW approximation
It was interesting to see how the same game developed & ended in an entirely different way. A few different decisions, some random dice results & BINGO! a new game.

Re: Maxen- a SYW approximation
Because we didn't finish the game, we met again & re-fought Maxen. It was set up the same (mostly): https://i.postimg.cc/3JpT7L7j/maxen_again1.jpg The Prussian infantry were stalwart: https://i.postimg.cc/wMC00cGg/maxen_again_3.jpg But the Prussian cavalry never stopped trying: https://i.postimg...

Re: Zaphir & Abbas..& BP
They look good, Donald. Laser-cut MDF or scratched? I designed them & my little pal with the laser cutter did the needed. best bits - you can't clearly see them in the photos - are the boilers. I began with the top of a garden hose fitting & used all sorts of bits from the Spares Box. donald
