Autumn 2023

Planning for Autumn 2023

Games:

Blood and Crowns
A history of divverrs wars n' bliddy owld bovver in Dyrham, Later Medieval in 28mm. 

Infamy in 28mm.  Titus and Flaccidus against the Celtiberian Warlord Pornographix.  The 28mm Marian Romans are due an outing in Spain, so more Infamy, and my Samnites and Greek cavalry standing in as Spaniards.

18th Century Imaginations in 28mm.  The Baron Pumphosen defends the honour and apricot pies of the Grand Duchy of the Blue.

Si Vis Pacem battlecruiser action in the Mediterranean, Chasing the Goeben, 1914.  

Fivecore Pulp, The Mummy Rises - Lord Randolph Farthingdale and Dr Howard Parker continue their pursuit of the Minions of Vectron, as well as the Tong of Prof Chou En Ginsberg, with the odd Mummy popping up every now and again.  Can pipe smoking Dr P enjoy his rough shag in peace or will it be pistols vs swords again?

I'm also planning a game using the three sergeants and the Cairo Constabulary vs the Cult of the Mummy, Egypt 1884.  Fivecore rules and the "Chaos in Cairo" supplement.

Chain of Command
Ernie and his Bulge, WW2 CoC. The Skyline Drive 20mm. 

WW1 Austrians vs Russians

Some Blood and Valour action using the From Empire to Revolution TFL supplement.  I gamed the first three scenarios already.   I've have added metal command figures from East Front Miniatures to my 20mm HaT Russian and Austrian plastics.

6mm Strength and Honour

The rebase of my 6mm collection, onto 80 by 40, 2mm mdf has gone well.   The invasion of Gaul is on the cards in some quick one off games.

The Wan-King  Rebellion

A 28mm game.  I've been slowly adding different European units for the Legation siege, and have about 50 Boxer Rebellion Chinese to go.  The rules will be Blood and Steel. 

 

Up Against the Khazi

Again a Blood and Steel outing, with the Rajputs and the West Lancs against the Burpas of the Khyber and the revolting Khazi of Khalabar.  Its been going on for a while now.

Chariot Racing in 6mm

The new 4 horse Assyrian chariots are being rebased as 30 by 30mm for Faustus Furius.  Can Furius Wanke, current champion, hold onto his crown, or is he resting on his laurels?

 

Proudpole's Navy

Captain Sir James Proudpole will continue his career in innuendo as he pursues a Frenchman in "Proudpole's Horn"

Bumfluff's War, O Group Battleaxe

My Western desert setup has had the Afrika Korps added over the last year.  I just haven't used them yet.  Time for the 11th Hussars and 2nd Lt Bumfluff Farthingdale to take to the tabletop.

The Blade flashes, 

Still waiting for the Lardies to publish their 17th century skirmish rules, "What a flasher" presumably.  I aim to do a few En Garde games in the meantime.

Assault on Bunker 17

Some retro Laserburn action, spurred on by the polystyrene packing for my freezer which, in an unusual moment of clarity, I identified as strangely similar to the classic "Bunker 17."  Percentage dice ready.

Planned terrain scratch building:

Small three part terrain sections, bog land, 6 inch by 12 inch river sections. Celtic round huts.  Woven fences.

Also that polystyrene Bunker for Laserburn!
