Bottle Battles
This Sunday I’m thankful there are men in the world who don’t allow even the mortal danger of organized violence to come between them and a good piss-up. A few months ago, in the March 2020 issue of Miniature Wargames magazine, I learned about the Battle of Tuttlingen. I thought, “Cool, that’s a well written… Read more »
Magazines for Which I am Thankful
This Sunday I’m thankful for a trio of Wargames Magazines you may or may not have heard of. This threesome are the Neapolitan Ice Cream of lead-pusher porn. Wargames Illustrated seems to be the one you can find everywhere. It has the highest physical production value (square-bound, glossy, 108 pages*) and publishes some really good… Read more »

King Arthur’s Well
One morning in Haltwhistle I was poring over this map … … (which I pre-ordered before we left home, still have and still love) and came across this: So we worked it into our hike that day. Here’s the approach from the west: And here are two shots of it looking north: And here is… Read more »
More About the North
My post yesterday reminded me of some highlights from the trip my wife and I took along Hadrian’s Wall in ’16. The Anchor Hotel in Haydon Bridge is a nice place. Quaint rooms, good food, reasonable rates, fine location in the village. But the most memorable part of staying there was that when we… Read more »
NoMADs on Patrol
OldGamersWorkshop has a second group of mutants — and some eeeevil humans — on Kickstarter. I mean … Right!? You can get the figs from their first project as well. So, … You should go do that.
