steve s wargaming blog steve s wargaming blog napoleonic wwii minature wargaming pages home snappy nappy forces so far gallery followers tuesday 21 june 2016 all change well it s been a while and much has happened both in my personal and gaming life over the past few months in february my wife and i packed up home sold our house and moved to a beautiful little village in cheshire quite stressful at the time but well worth it we now have less focus on work and more time for each other and our hobbies we were actually lucky enough to be able to move into a converted church it s stunning and we both love it this is our front door so life has changed considerably but alas concessions had to be made and i no longer have a permanent gaming room i decided to sell my napoleonics just before we moved as i knew that i wouldn t be able to playin that scale at our new home so after some consideration i have recently embarked on a 10mm napoleonic project using old glory miniatures i have recently joined an online community called tabletop commanders they can be found on facebook and had great fun playing a live game of blucher which really sparked my interest they are a great bunch and the game played very smoothly even thought he tabletop was in america and the four commanders involved were in the uk so there you go new life new project i ll leave you with a couple of pictures of my first attempts at 10mm figure painting very much work in progress posted by battlescale at 11 34 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday 15 december 2015 napoleonics old school a few bad photos of my napoleonic figures i came across a great set of old school rules called muskets marshals which upon reading took me right back to my teenage years when i took pa rt in some epic games at stoke wargames group the rules call for 24 figure infantry and 12 figure cavalry units with artillery batteries being represented by single guns i still need to get more units on the table to be happy with the look that i m after but i think that s the curse of every gamer never enough toys my french force consists of 8 infantry units 2 cavalry units and 4 guns a with my combined austrian russian force consisting of more or less the same with a little more artillery i m currently working on more russian infantry but also need to get light infantry units for all forces sorted at some point posted by battlescale at 16 03 8 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday 14 november 2015 a bit of bolt action managed to get a game of bolt action in this week a rarity for me the game is ongoing and so far even though the germans have taken most casualties they are definitely getting the better position on the table the rules are fun to play though i m probably not playing them to the letter yet anyway here s a few pics enjoy posted by battlescale at 21 02 5 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday 8 october 2015 another wwii rule set on the way i couldn t resist picking this up from ebay last night it just had to be done i ve played the rookie version of rapid fire and i actually enjoyed it they are quite old school in their approach which suits me just fine and i look forward to playing the full version soon posted by battlescale at 18 58 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday 26 september 2015 and now for something completely different for a long long time i ve considered starting a acw project but never quite got around to it i know nothing nowt absolutely jack about the conflict but have always admired the great looking games i ve seen online so with the help and advice of some friendly acw gamers i finally took the plunge this week and purchased some blue moon 15mm figures from glory miniatures uk who are conveniently situated about two minutes from my front door now i ve never painted acw before neither have i ever painted 15mm and the difference in the technique i had to adopt was quite surprising and very time consuming to start off with anyway i ve made a start in my confederate infantry opting for the late war rag tag look with a variety of shades of greys browns and the odd blue here s my first little batch of figures ready for basing still loads to do but it s a start at least and now i m finally happy with the colour combinations and the change in technique i m hoping the painting process will speed up somewhat posted by battlescale at 12 28 4 comments

perfect for cycling i made it up all the climbs and came in in record time looking forward to doing more charity rides next year so best keep the training going through the winter months easier said

2007 at the age of just 47 and in aid of douglas macmillan who took care of her during her last few weeks of life it s strange to think that i m now older than my sister but she will always be my big

great set of old school rules called muskets marshals which wwii simples those of you who read my plans for this year would have noticed that i planned to write up a very simple set of wwii rules for use with another rule set another verdict i ve heard mention of this particular rule set in the past but never properly paid much attention to them possibly because of the rat more snappy nappy figures finished got around to finally finishing my unit of french hussars today and i m really pleased with them i painted these figures up russian artillery for snappy naps as promised here are a few pics of the 3 russian artillery batteries for use with the excellent snappy nap rules zvezda crew an hungarian paint conversion the result in my previous post i spoke about the possibility of converting early austrian infantry figures wearing the helmet and gaiters as opposed all change well it s been a while and much has happened both in my personal and gaming life over the past few months in february my wife and i pac in loving memory of my big sister lorraine this sunday 6th september i shall be taking part in the durham big ride a 25 mile bike ride through the hills of county durham i wi i m back well it seems that the figures are calling me back for a few weeks now i ve found myself reading others blogs and beginning to snappy nap taking stock so today i thought i would see just how much of a force i could put together using my newly chosen rule set one of the reasons i was draw copyright sws 2010 picture window theme powered by blogger
