Streltsy - 10th Moscow

Another unit of Streltsy (at the front) the 10th Moscow.


As before the unit is assembled from all the bonus Streltsy figures in the Strelets boxes.

TYW Imperial Army

Another post covering the second part of my rebasing project, the Imperial/Bavarian/League forces


There is a high proportion of cavalry, which reflects the ratios in the later part of the TYW

TYW Swedish Army

Having completed the rebasing i thought I would lay out the whole Swedish/Allied army for inspection

A day at Colours

I escaped from the family for the day and spent the day at Colours in Newbury. I must admit that I was not impressed, the trader floor was gloomy and there were very few games of interest. The mitigating factor was the opportunity to meet up with quite a few friends I hadn't seen in a while.

Some bits I thought worth photographing

The most impressive was this War of Italian Unification game, the fortified town was lovely








The Mesopotamian front in WW1










A snowy Franco-Prussian War


Battlegroup Kursk - WW2


Marengo using General d'Armee, having read a number of positive comments I bought a copy




A nice idea for a river in a Cold War gone hot game




English Civil War version of "To the Strongest"


I didn't spend much, just some paint, a pack of the Plastic Soldier German armoured cars, a few discounted Ready to Roll vehicles and the General d'Armee rules.

Started on the Streltsy

My first unit of Streltsy, the 3rd Moscow Regiment.

Compared to some pictures I found after starting the coat colour might be too pale.

Of course this is not a new period, as the figures were all included in all the Strelets sets I bought (plus donations from Peter)

Back to the snow - US Infantry

Just finished in time for tonight's game, my first US infantry for the Ardennes.

Figures are mainly Revell plus a few Italeri, I plan to make about two platoons worth all together

On the Workbench - September 2017

Now for a change from doing all that Thirty Years War stuff - I'm keeping the quantity down as I'll be travelling quite a bit this month. Hopefully I'll get to Colors at Newbury.

• Three Russian Streltsy regiments 24 figures strong - these are made up of all the Strelets bonus figures I have collected over the years (helped by a generous contribution from Peter W)
• Some US infantry for the Ardennes.
• Vikings - a small force assembled from a packet of Zvezda Vikings
to add to my Normans and Saxons
• Continuing to plan the Renaissance Galleys - I still can't work our the best way to scratch build them.
