Well I've started in on the Mycenaeans for our DBA campaign. I thought I'd post of picture of a few of them. What you see are 8 Pikemen (in DBA terms) and a light chariot.

I've decided that I'll go with a white undercoat and paint with washes over some basic blocking. I'll probably start painting the pikemen tomorrow. I'll post my progress.

I thought I'd try something to keep me posting and to keep working on a new project. The gaming group I play with meets most Sunday mornings to play wargames. We play anything from GW's Epic to Peter Pigs PBI.
We decided as a group to begin a new DBA campaign. I like participating in these campaigns because it forces me to paint a new army to a deadline. This time around I'll be playing Early Mycenaean.
So it was off to Essex (virtually) to buy my army. The package arrived yesterday. What I plan to do is chronicle my progress as I complete the army in preparation for the campaign. I believe the campaign is to start in late March (I'll have to confirm that).


Here's the goodies in there baggy!

Some pictures from our Christmas vacation wargame. Dave and I played a huge Napoleonic battle involving close to 1200 28mm miniatures. It was France vs the British in another titanic struggle. We used Field of Battle (www.piquet.com) for the rules. They do a great job of handling large battles. We played our game to conclusion in about 4 hours.

British Initial Setup

A Napoleon Christmas

I was able to get a game of Field of Battle in over the Christmas holidays. The game featured over 1000 28mm Napoleonic miniatures on a gaming table that 12' x 6'.
I will be posting pictures of the battle in the next day or two with a few comments on how the battle played out.

So we begin

Not much to say yet.

I'll be using my Blog to talk mostly about my hobby. Playing with Toy Soldiers! Or Wargaming!
