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!!

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...
Koenig Krieg, "The Wolfenbuttal War" scenario #2...
Played this battle out with a fellow gamer. He played the attacking Prussians and I played the defending Austrians. The orders of battler and terrain setup was from the scenaio guide.
The Prussians had a brigade of infantry some artillery, as well as three heavy cavalry regiments and a hussar regtiment. The Austrians had two battalions of infantry deployed at the stream to hold back the Prussians until their reinforcements came up. Unfortunately, the Austian reinforcements did not show up until it was almost too late for them!! They had to retreat to their baseline as fast as possible. Their heavy cavalry brigade did show up and stopped the Prussian advance, after some great mellee actions.
However, the Prussians did eventually drive the Austians from the field... On to the next battle...
Following are a few pixtures of the battle...
