Blitzkrieg Commander IV - Battle at Makan Jamil Limaqhaa Shay

Kampgroup Thomaz had retreated to the next settlement in line, a place that The 139th Borcester's translator callled "Makan Jamil Limaqhaa Shay 1 ". Another Hasty Assualt, but this time, Lt Col Antrobus, their commanding officer, had thought more than one step ahead, and had brought trucks. Admittedly, Antrobus is the sort of chap who shoots the regimental sheep for Sunday lunch, then moans about a lack of mint sauce. Okay, so the trucks were definitely 'borrowed', but his men did not have to struggle across the desert on foot this time! He also brought 60lber artillery (off table) and mortars, with the express aim of getting shots on target and removing some of the Jerry anti-tank guns that had so caused issues last time .  Antrobus had split his forces into three sections, right of centre, a mortar platoon, an Bofurs 40mm gun battery, two carrier platoons and the Humber were tasked with attempting to pin the right centre at long range. The infantry and HMGs were...

Burrows & Badgers - Escort home!

As they stood round the bed, he heard them... "Well, out of the two of you, you definitly got the brains!" "And looking at that shoulder, you've probably got the brawn too now!" The Knight opened his eyes to see the Fox Force standing round, grinning. His shoulder stung, but at least he could move both his forepaws, so that was a plus. He doubted he would yse his axe with full force from now on. Even the crisp, white, light sheet felt like it was pressing his arm down. At least the sunlight streamed in. "Did we succeed?" His voice was croaky, hos throatbwas dry, he must have been out for days. "Well," His sister, The Mage stroked her chin under the mask she habitually wore, "Master Toad had gone a courting..." "But his attention had wavered, and he decided to stay away away from home," the Warrior added. "His father, Mr. Toad, must not have liked that, he was paying well for his son's return!" Laughed the Ra...

Burrows & Badgers - The Ambush of the Duke of Duckington.

 The large leverett approached the table she sat at, and, clutching soft cap in paws, coughed politely to attract the Fox mage's attention. "What do you desire?" The fox looked round, her face shielded by a white mask. Whether this made her more or less scary than the scars it hid was a matter of debate. The leverett whispered quietly, and placed some pennies on the table. The vixen mage  smiled, almost kindly, reached into her cloak, and with a flourish of sparks, placed a silver necklace embedded with semi-precious stones on a cloth in front of the wide-eyed hare. It glowed slightly with a white and green aura, "It will help her, but won't cure her fully, she needs a proper priest and lots of fresh air and baths for that..." The young hare n9dded, took the proffered item, and scuttled off. The Vixen made a sign to Roddy Pewt, the Newt, the owner and (partial) namesake of the bar. He reached under the counter, and produced the crystal goblet and bottle of v...

County Tops - Numbers 16- 18 (plus one former top) Billinge Hill, Merseyside, Coniston Old Man, Scafell Pike, Cold Overton Park

County Tops  Number 16: Billinge Hill, Merseyside 24-02-2025, 179m Walk technicalities * View **** Company ***** Overall 9/10     Driing North along the M6, and in need of a break, I had spotted Billinge Hill on a previous trip as being nearby, after asking Mike Chris McAlpine  and Craig, all who are more local than I about it, I had contacted Pete, a fellow wargamer, how also enjoys a good hill. We met on a nearby road, donned boots and headed up. It's an interesting one. Not that big, but full of massive character. The view from teh top is a proper 360 of Merseryside, Manchester and South Lancs, actually really impressive. Pete and I sent a long time picking out sights, such as Bolton's stadium, the Blackpool Tower, various loclal hills, Wales and more. Looking North-East towards Pete's stomping ground. Necromunda - sorry, Manchester Hive city in the distance. Wales in the far distance. We then wandered off into the woods and old quarry working along trails, before...
