Yes it is, I'll update the post to mention that

Thanks, I thought it might be, but I also thought I remembered you mentioning rumours that Spectre were going to do some.

Today's post is now up! Back to Bazistan for this Skirmish Sangin battle report. US Army elements up against local insurgents.



As always, the post is on the blog at http://hntdaab.co.uk/blog/2018/03/23/battle-report-climb-to-glory-skirmish-sangin/

A most excellent battle report.
At first look of the photos,I am thinking,
 how is he going to use the big building in the middle of nowhere in the game.
Very clever on how you did.
Interesting ending, did not expect that.
A very enjoyable read.
In fact, I have been getting back into modern stuff,
thanks to your posts.

Interesting report. Thanks.

[ChargeDog]

Thanks. Glad everyone liked the report!

As you'd expect, it's Monday so it's time for Wargaming Week. This is also the 53rd Wargaming Week so I am well over a year of doing weekly posts to catch up on the adventures into moderns.



As usual, it's on the site at http://hntdaab.co.uk/blog/2018/03/26/wargaming-week-26-03-2018/

Great update on your web site.
I went in on the KS.
Not real happy with 1/56 scale.
All my stuff is 1/50, 1/48.
I did measure a Corgi 2 1/2 ton truck I have.
It measures 5 1/2 inches long and 2 inches wide.
If you look at the photo of their 2 1/2 ton,
it measures 4 3/4, maybe 5 inches long by 2 inches wide.
So it is close and should look good on the table.

That's good news, I might actually take a look.

This week's post is now up! After a slight delay, I'm looking at Spectre's Green Beret Jungle team, all ready for a step in the light green.

Interesting facts, thanks.

With their intended "Advisor" role the lack of heavy weapons makes sense.

The new wargaming week is up! Some updates from the hobby bench, as well as trip to Chillcon with some great news about upcoming releases.

Interesting stuff.

Look forward to  seeing how the White Dragon stuff turns out.

A much better photograph of the Empress Germans than on the Empress site.

[Ultravanillasmurf]

One question (from the other Empress thread), are the heads attached to the Germans?

Unknown yet as they haven't arrived (the picture is one of the others from Empress's website) but I'm going to guess they will be (mostly) separate to match with the more recent releases.

I am looking forward to seeing if they come with separate heads also.

Fingers crossed I'll find out this week - got my dispatch notice today.

Really excited to get them painted up once they arrive so there should be a pretty quick turn around on them
