Stuff for three terrain projects, foam flock, snow powder, modelling compound, sealant, resin etc... Terrain making is so much more fun and satisfying than painting figures :)

Do you find it difficult to obtain snow-powder, now that COVID-19 police checks are disrupting the county-lines networks?

Re: 6mm WW2, it's one of the 1st hobby things I did, back in the early 80s. Still got the stuff, and I'll be trying Blitzkrieg Commander IV (NW Europe) at some point.

Simpler rules are becoming increasingly appealing, and WW2 is one of those periods where stats and complexity tend to dominate.

I was getting interested in O Group when it arrives. I've been wanting a decent set of rules for large-ish actions using micro tanks for some time. Didnt like Rommel rules.
Me too - for O group

So true. That's why I am working hard on a simple, but historical set.

The trouble with ww2 is that it is a complex set of interactions to model, not least in the combined arms aspect.

The art is to focus on the part that interests you and abstract around that decision tree.

Oh the whole thing is abstract. No insignificant details at all.
