‘Modern’ wargaming is a funny little niche. It covers a 70-year timespan which saw monumental change throughout, but when it comes to the Cold War is almost entirely speculative. We’re historical wargamers, gaming a war that never happened. Modern games have been one of the periods that seems to have never really ‘taken off’ too. Continue reading “Cold War Commander 2 Review”

12th December, a 1/300 Xmas
Today we travel away from the savannah and over to feudal Japan, courtesy of Gareth Beamish: “2020 has been mostly about adding to ongoing projects for me, but I did make my first scratchbuilt structure in the scale. It’s something I’ve avoided doing, partly because there are so many excellent buildings on the market, butContinue reading “12th December, a 1/300 Xmas”
11th December, a 1/300 Xmas
From three men on horses yesterday, Richard Naylor brings us a whole lot of men in not-horses! “These are from my recently resurrected South African Border War Project, something I started a few years ago but re-found inspiration for earlier in the year during lockdown 1“ Richard can be found over on Twitter
10th December, a 1/300 Xmas
Time to zoom in a bit and look at a 6mm diorama from someone you may be used to hearing as much as seeing over at God’s Own Scale: “Well is its not Masser Robert rising through the Virginia countryside!“ The God’s Own Scale blog and Podcast is a good 6mm listen, and you canContinue reading “10th December, a 1/300 Xmas”
9th December, a 1/300 Xmas
The great thing about running the advent calendar is I get to see all of these amazing pieces of work and share them with you. Today’s offering from Maurice is no exception. I started a 30 years war project this year. I managed to get the battle of Fleurus prepared, and am working on theContinue reading “9th December, a 1/300 Xmas”
8th December, a 1/300 Xmas
Today’s addition to the calendar is brought to you by Per, and it’s a piece of work for a great cause: I had the pleasure of having more than 40 people helping in building the most fantastic of 6mm Armies, painting a base of infantry, cavalry or artillery each. Building the two imaginary armies ofContinue reading “8th December, a 1/300 Xmas”
7th December, a 1/300 Xmas
And now, for something on a scale we’ve yet to see from Alex over at Storm of Steel. Well, it’s 6mm, so we’ve seen the scale, but the scale is something else: This is Napoleon’s Armee du Nord of 1815 in 6mm, all figures by Baccus. It consists of every brigade that invaded Belgium inContinue reading “7th December, a 1/300 Xmas”
6th December, a 1/300 Xmas
This is a picture back around March/April as lockdown kicked in here in the UK, and pretty much a prototype game for me of ‘does Chain of Command work in 6mm if I swap inches for CM?’ The answer is a very firm yes, and I found your average coffee table becomes the equivalent toContinue reading “6th December, a 1/300 Xmas”
5th December, a 1/300 Xmas
Day 5 is another one from yours truly Something I’ve found a great deal of success with this year is experimenting with Contrast Paints on 6mm minis, and you get a particularly good results with tanks. This GHQ Chieftain is one I’m particularly proud of. I wrote about the process here if you’d like toContinue reading “5th December, a 1/300 Xmas”
4th December, a 1/300 Xmas
Day 4 is a submission from Reddit! 2020 has been a strange year for all of us, but for me it has meant finishing up some old projects, as well as looking at new ways of playing – I have joined a PBEM game of Operation Sealion through Bristol’s Quick Fire Games Club –https://www.tabletopgaming.co.uk/clubs/quick-fire-games-club (SadlyContinue reading “4th December, a 1/300 Xmas”
