Tonight's Imperial Skies fight. Mort requested a rematch of our steampunk airships, I was all up for that. All the amazing ships and fort are from Brigade Models , while my lovely sea mat comes from Tiny Wargames . The British High Command, and more importantly, the public, after the French raid on the Channel resources, have demanded a retribution strike. Many targets were considered, but Navy Intelligence noted that Fort Boyard , a sea fort off La Rochelle completed in 1857, and being reactivated in the modern age, and made an ideal target. The British strike force compromised a Benbow type I class battleship (without it's flight of planes), two Exeter type II class heavy cruisers, a Rawalpindi Colonial light cruiser and most importantly a recently commissioned Agamemnon monitor. The French hastily scrambled a Jeanne La Pucelle heavy cruiser, a Formidable light cruiser, a Regnault class destroyer,and two Descartes class destroyers to defend the fort. Early shots were exc...

We gathered in the crisp lighht of Daventry Battlefield Hobbies for Fire and Ice, non-europen themed lists. So, I took horse archers, Ay Koyunlu or Aq Qoyunlu , protected horse archers (formally known as White Sheep Turkomen) with an Kara Qoyunlu (Black Sheep Turkomen) ally. Horse archers, technically deadly, but so far have proved to be my bete noir! Each time I have used them I have been absolutely thrashed. I had set myself a goal of scoring about 8 points, basically, one TuG a game. I would be okay as long I did not meet anyone decent, or with massed shooting, or long spears or pikes or better cavalry than me, or... So, Round 1 vs Qin .

All foot in either units of nine with crossbows and pole arms, or polearms armed with polearms (so get a plus vs cavalry), and even had a TuG of skilled crossbows. Plus...

Tucking her wings in and diving down, Clarisse the starling felt the sweet air flushing over her beak, she grinned to herself as she saw the welcome sight of the lights of the 'Garrison' glimmering across the square, and she fluttered down and alighted across the square. She hopped across and through the door into the smoky public bar. It wasn't her shift tonight, but she was greeted like a returning hero by her friends of the Squeaky Blinders gang. "Look wot tha cat dragged in!" Arthur the stoat cheerily yelled from his favourite booth. "Well, at least I can hit things, not just jam my piece every time!" She chirped back at him, blowing him a kiss and strolling across to another stoat who was nonchalantly chewing a carrot and replacing a whiskey glass on the bar. "How you feeling Tommy?" "Better. Rest, always the best medicine, both for me an' Bill the Oddy" The stoat boss sagely looked the starling up and down, "how are y...
