Shhhhhhh, that is like asking the Spice girls, what happened to Mel A....

Merlin and Guinevere for my OML8 game

I'm mainly painting terrain for my first foray into Zona Alfa this week. I'm looking forward to it but there are some elements of campaign play that need tweaks. The FB group is full of people saying "this is overpriced" etc. I let my opponent kit up his starting crew from the list and a 6 man team includes a sniper rifle, LMG and a flamethrower.

I'm going to finish the rest of the Para squaddies this week. Then back to 28mm to work on some Peninsular.

I heard rumours that it was......"absorbed".

Resistance was futile?

Spent the day cleaning up the Flags of War kickstarter for 1745. Lovely figures, looking forward to painting these despite the tartan:


and the forces of Georgian England. a right mix of basic line troops, dragoons and Crawford's Regt/Black Watch:

That's not enough dragoons ...

Now, I suppose I should start mine. Hmm... let me go dig them out. How hard could it be to knock a few of those puppies over?

I know I seem to have some kind of breakdown when ordering this KS and not considered the rules I knew I’d be using. As soon as they go into the FoW shop I’ll be buying some more dragoons and infantry.

On the bright side, I started reading Duffy’s ‘The ‘45’ and got two possible scenarios out of the first 15 pages.

Incidentally, I somehow managed to end up with two of the character pack. Plus way too many Hanoverian command, I seem to have ended up with three of these. Ah well.

And I also managed to buy the wrong number of packs, so I'm waiting to add as well. My intent was to use Sharp Practice, but I'm unconvinced by the classifications in the special, so I'm not sure how many figures to a group I will use for clansmen.

If anyone needs the character pack or extra command, happy to play swaps.
