Jena-Auerstedt in 20mm / Ancients in 15mm

A representation of part of the Battle of Jena, 1806, in 20mm scale. This scale is ideal for larger battle Napoleonics. The rules used are a home-brew (VERY) fast play set - ideal for getting games like this completed in an evening.










Some nice Late Romas and Palmyrans on display in 15mm  using Mortem et Gloriam rules.








The Sudan - Equal Spoils

An Anglo-Egyptian force takes on the famous 'Fuzzy-wuzzies' in these Sundan Campaign games. In the first battle, modern firepower decimated the Mahdist ranks; in the second, the Dervishes managed to hug terrain features, to avoid the British rifles, which enabled them to launch themselves at the enemy and overpower them in close assault with sword and spear. Rules used were Osprey's 'The Men Who Would be King'.

Zombie Apocalypse and Xenos Rampant

A quite literally horrifying vision of what it would be like for small groups of survivors to continue living in the 'Dawn of the Dead'. In the first game, one group of survivors was swamped and had their brains eaten by the hungry zombies. In the second, both teams were more cautious and escaped with some loot, largely unscathed. An horrific 'low light' was when one of the survivors shot another survivor in the leg, disabling the individual, to ensure their own escape from the walking dead. Not very nice; not very nice at all.....

In the Xenos Rampant game, an elite force of Eldar (Space Elves) defeated a group of 'normies'. In straight up battles, elite troops seem to have the edge in this game and, in terms of army building, 'armour piercing' is a "must take".

WWII Arc of Fire

 Another game of Arc of Fire WWII in what looked like an interesting scenario.
