American Civil War, Brigade Fire and Fury Rules...

Hello, All, This is a recap of a game of battle of Wilsons Creek. It was the second big battle of the Civil War. It was fought outside of Springfield Missouri summer 1861. I used "Warlords Games" ACW senario book for the senario set up and order of battles. The Union had four brigades and two batteries. the Confederates had Five brigades of infantry and a cavalry brigade, plus two light batteries. Union General Lyon was exceptional. As seen from the photos the Union set up three Brigades and two batteries on a prominate hill. The fourth Union Brigade was deployed off table , to the Confederate rear. That Union brigade was lead by General Sigle. It came on bourd game turn TWO. To the Confederates great concern... They actually thought the Brigade would be deployed behind the Union hill in reserve! Well, as seen the Confederates were on full attack, and for the first few turns advanced to the Union Line. The Rebel cavalry moved to the flank and rear of the Union position. There was sevarl turns of fire and close assault... Eventually the Union prevailed, and the Confederate were thrown back all across the line. It turned out to be a very good victory for the Union Army. Not like history.. It was a very fun game. The rules are very fun to play and are highly recommened by me... This was a test run game.

Gamer Cats... This is why gaming can be difficult...

Pikeman's Lament... Friday night game at Great Escape Games...

Well, it was the Ottoman Turks vs the Russians. Each force had 24 points. As for the game, well it was a lot of fun. With ups and downs for both sides. Though, the Turks took the field. The Russians will get them next time!!

Some newly painted stuff for SiFi gaming...

Vetcon 2025, Auburn California Huge Eastern Renaissance game...

Yes Vetcon 2026 was really great this year!!! There were at least 150+ gamers that attended the 4 day event in October 2026 in Auburn California this year. Many many Great historical miniatures games... I am sure Dave will get it on next year too. Anyways, here is one of the games I played. It was a 25mm Eastern Renaissance game. Russians vs Polish, using "Pike and Shot" rules from "Wargames" a "Black Poweder" varient. Very fun game... Here are some pictures of the game... It was a very close game... Though, the Russians came off a bit better. Winged Hussars rule...

Planet of the Apes... Oh My.....

Here are some of my most resent undertakings. 15mm Planet of the Apes miniatures. I plan to use the with Osprey Publishing rules"Tomorrw's War" or "Xenos Rampant". I included a few pictures of some 15mm space orcs. T The Plant of the apes figures are from "Battle Scape miniatures" I believe. And the Orces are from "Ground Zero Games" "mercenary" range I belive. Both ranges are GREAT!

Some resent projects...

These are some SiFi hippos I paintrd for a friend. We plan to use them in "Stargrave", from Osprey Publishing. Or any other crazy configuration we can come up with...
