Cruel Seas

Thanks Kerry, the torpedoes have come up a treat!


Couple of free S Boats, thanks to my old Friend Rob Thompson (all the way from Poland, no less), thanks mate, really enjoyed doing these!



After my friend John pointed out I had my guns wrong on my MkI Vospers, I bought the Warlord Games British weapons pack add-on. Well worth it. I also bought myself a tanker while visiting Boards and Swords, just because you need a target!

Upgraded Vospers

Under escourt by a Vospers

Decided my 10 Vospers needed some serious fire support, so I bought a set of Fairmile D Dog Boats
Really nice kit, had a lot of fun putting these together and painting them.








Nick Overland (of Sabresquadron fame) kindly donated his pair of Vospers to me too. Is 10 too much? I think not!


 

ID numbers on the sternsr as last time, it was getting hard to spot which boat was which! 


Mike sent me these to add to my collection. Two more S Boats (Ace of Club and Spades for recognititon) and the Limited Edition Das Boot U96

Escorting her home...

Looks good, the logo is accurate from the series and film! :)

I like these boats.


This month's Wargames Illustrated freebies, Americans and the torpedos that came with the British MTB flotilla.







Finished 6 more MTBs that I received from the amazing Mrs Lemmey for Xmas,



With the original two

And flying the White Ensign

A freebie with Wargames Illustrated, great fun to paint.
Bristish Vospers MTBs added,



 Look forwards to using these, and I know two others down the club have them too.
German E-Boats first, an S-100 and an S-38 class.

Black Powder 1870 Stats and Modifications

1870 Franco-Prussian Conflict in Black Powder Hi all, If you are reading this, it's because. like us, you are Black Powder fans and want to know how we manage the Franco-Prussian War. Anything below is by no way official, just the house rules we have developed over the last few years of playing. A few thoughts first: Fighting in the period is best described as hard fought assaults by Prussians, supported by superior artillery against superior but very strong defensive French lines. All ranges and movements are in cm scale, just to be awkward! All my forces are modelled on 3” square bases, apart from divisional commanders, skirmishers and artillery which have a frontage of 1½” and Corp commanders who are on a 2” base. Feel free to ignore that. My units are regiments of infantry,   brigades of cavalry and skirmish squadrons of cav. Artillery is either battalion as one gun, or a battery of two guns on a base, horse artillery have limbers attached. Army composition...

Hunting The Red Baron on the Dawn Patrol. Bit bigger than 25mm scale, but he will provide top cover for my Kindred WWI stuff. Yes, you have seen the flight stand before on my epic stuff. He's going so fast, the camera can't focus! "Curse you Red Baron!"   Two more Highlanders from the 80s, thanks to Brian up the road. Armed with two bottles or a sword, who is harder? More plaid Well hard! Top view   A chaos warrior It was free, and I've given it to a mate who runs a chaos armym=, hence th elack of basing as he will do it to his own style. Big chopp...
