Recently Phil and I have been getting our game on in VASSAL. We decided to play out a 4 x 25pt game variant of the ANNIHILATION rules. Phil brought his beloved Protectorate of Menoth and I decided to bring my Khadorans out to play. Over the course of the four games we had some ...

Frozen North – Narrative Battle Report

Anthony (of occasional Lost Hemisphere fame) sent me on this amazing piece of fluff that describes our game during the Frozen North campaign. I think it captures the single-minded focus of Lich Lord Venethrax.

Frozen North – Campaign Review

Undying Loyalty

Toruk’s spies had failed him. The Scourge Bringer had been rediscovered and he only found out about it weeks after. This failure would have to be rectified, but in the meantime he needed to retrieve the weapon from Everblight’s minions. Toruk does not like to rush things, but in this instance he had to ...

    Grab the popcorn and a big soda… this one is nearly 13 minutes long! This is my first game using the new SR2011 Command and Control scenario, which has radial deployment and multi-objectives. It was fun!

  • This’ll be a quick one. Tonight myself and Phil got a game in on VASSAL. I guess it’s down to a joint New Years resolution to play more games against each other. Phil lives in Hamburg and VASSAL gives use a chance to play against each other. We played a 25pt Break the Line game ...

    I guess the title says it all! That’s a lot of bloggery… in one year -

    • I started the year with posts about my MkII project, the Privateers. This was an interesting painting project as I’d acquired the start of the army from Ugo, the best painter in our club. I wanted to emulate ...
