Sorry for the recent silence on the blog. A combination of yet another really bad cold which has knocked me back a bit, it stopped me from attending Battleground although on the day the snow would have stopped us attending anyway. I’ve also been busy on a number of projects not related to wargaming, my wife’s birthday and now we are down in London again for a few days. Anyway hopefully some more gaming in a week or so, in the meantime I have managed to paint up a few bits…
A landing craft for my Tallarn, this was painted up for the show game but sadly as I didn’t attend it didn’t get used, perhaps next year ?
Picton for the peninsular , I needed a few more commands
A British Artillery officer
The Italian infantry have been slow going so I allowed myself to be distracted with a command car, this a 3D print
and some heavy support for Sicily Semovente 47/32 from warlord
Even more distracted I have been painting up some Penal Legion to go with my Tallarn force, these are Atlantic figures with some GW modification, these were the first three test figures I have another 27 to paint in various colour schemes ! But I’m well on with them.
I picked this up off eBay but only noticed the two right hand tracks when it arrived, but the nice people at Warlord have sent me a replacement so hats off to them for customer service.
A couple of weeks ago we played our next instalment of Konigsberg campaign. The Germans started well got into a good position but frustratingly their morale let them down again, giving the Russians a win
Well there is a ditch so we’re jolly well going to use it for cover !
That’s it for now hopefully I’ll get a chance to catch up on a few other blogs soon
Matt
