Turned in to a bit of a turkey shoot this week in Crossfire! 1 US Platoon and two HMGs (in foreground) versus the 1 remaining freedom fighter – a soon to be ex-Platoon Commander. OUCH!
Turkey Shoot!

Targe 2016 participation table winners!
Well who’da thunk it? My local wargaming group, the East Neuk Irregulars, won best participation table at Targe 2016 Wargames Show in Kirriemuir on the weekend. WOOHOO! 🙂
Our game was “Britain’s Secret War” and featured the SAS in Indonesia (1962-66), trekking through the jungle to a landing zone after completing a mission… or is it just beginning?
We created our own rules for the game and it allowed players to get straight in to the action and get a game played within 15 minutes. Every game was different and there were some great dramatic moments! I wish I could tell you more but it’s all incredibly hush hush you understand.
Targe was hosted by Kirriemuir Wargames Club and was a great day out. Many thanks to all the players who “stepped up to the table” in more ways than one.
Bye for now, I best get back to my hot tub and champagne! 🙂

WIP: Cardboard Buildings pt II
WIP: 2nd of 4 buildings for 20mm wargaming. This is my first attempt at a cottage. It’s currently at Stage 2 which is a liberal smothering with filler mixed with gray acrylic paint.

Happy Hallowe’en
I’m normally gigging on Hallowe’en, but this year I was asked to entertain the troops with a wargame! OH, OK THEN 🙂

My First Crossfire Table
I’ve finally amassed enough terrain to put my own Crossfire wargames table together. It’s important not to have long Lines of Sight in a Crossfire game, and I think I managed to pull it off with the aid of some old toy trucks from the local charity shop.
