1) Enjoyment 2)Diorama & 3)Gaming , this is the hierarchic order 

But the gaming why not !? I think about using "Irregular Wars" rules !

If someone could advice me on a rule for big skirmish game during 16 or 17th century, i 'm interested !

Very fine diorama.

Is this a wargame or a display piece?

If you talk about my project (Goa 1510) , it's both : a tabletop wargame project, and a huge diorama

Hi !

The work on the mosque continues slowly but surely (it is a complex building that takes time) and during that time I started the Fortress of Panaji.

I base the project on Surat Fort, built in the 14th century by a Mamluk sultan in northern India.






I will make a basic revival, and I will provide some options to extend its use until the eighteenth century.

To be continued
