I am doing terribly at this "keeping up to date" at the moment but I did some more posts!

Last weeks Wargaming Week is at https://hntdaab.co.uk/blog/2020/07/13/wargaming-week-13-07-2020/

More exciting was what I manged to get done with my US Marines - three fireteams down... https://hntdaab.co.uk/blog/2020/07/15/sitrep-us-marines-fireteam-3-pt-2/

This is the last semi-regular post I'm going to throw up here. But basically - Wargaming Week is Over. Thanks to everyone who read along.

You make some good points. And I got to admit no agree with your assessments.

Like CM, I can't fault any of your points!

I've enjoyed your journey and I hope this isn't the end. I look forward to your next (eventual) post with bated breath. Maybe an irregular schedule and a departure from news will allow you to focus on the parts of the hobby you enjoy the most?

Only recently found this post and from it your blog. I can't figure how to comment there - dohhh but just wanted to say what a treasure trove it is.

I'm not keen on modern historical games because I just feel a bit uncomfortable
With them, that's just me and no criticism or judgement intended but I've been reading through your game reports and they are facinating and compelling actions for any gamer. The decisions required and realism involved are outstanding.

Absolutly brilliant, just sad that I discovered you at the point when you are slowing down on the blog. Hope things look better in the future and maybe you start back revitalized. Whatever you do the blog is an amazing inspiration, so thanks a lot for the effort you put into it.
Cheers

Sorry to hear you’re winding it down, Michael. After toying with getting into Moderns for several years, your blog pushed me over the brink. Now I have hundreds of unpainted Moderns to join my thousands of unpainted British Colonials, FIW, AWI, etc.......

Fools! You didn't think you'd get rid of me that easily?

Seriously though, this isn't the end of the blog. It's just more that I don't think the weekly update is needed (both for my sanity and the news I cover) - smaller posts written when things happen I think will do a far better job and are more exciting. I will still continue to keep blogging and painting and playing (especially as I've now started a regular gaming slot against my Dastardly Regular Opponent over in York). So fingers crossed I'll still be here to push/drag more players into moderns (as long as you don't mind a few diversions along the way)

And to prove I'm not dead...

I have a new post up! Dishdash are working on a V2 of Skirmish Sangin and put the first playtesting rules up. I've done a quick once over of them to pick out the new and updated bits and will be continuing to make articles going forward (especially once I get it on the game table)

Good news!

Glad to see you back.

Very interesting article, thanks.

It's definitely looking like an interesting shakeup from the V1 rules. Your commentary is great, and really highlights some of the changes worth watching.

I particularly like the new tempo system. While I never saw combat, the experience of having the initiative and rolling against an opponent on the backfoot even in a training environment is really noticeable. This isn't reflected in most tabletop rules, so I'm excited to see how this plays when I get kit on table

I'm back and I'm covering the news!

Spectre put out a preview so I've covered it and taken a look at what I think each figure is carrying. It's probably wrong but guessing is fun!

As always, it's on the blog at https://www.hntdaab.co.uk/blog/2020/10/13/news-spectre-previews-13-10-2020-potentially-thermobaric/
