Cold War Commander rules... Pusan Perimiter 1950...

Here are some pictures of a game hosted by Chuck. He was using his nicely done 15mm Eureka North Koreans and Old Glory and Flames of War miniatures and vehicles.... He was also showing off a lot of his custom made terrain... Rice Fields and Hills....

Scenario was based on an historical engagement... The North Koreans won that one and they won this time too.... Ouch!

They had 1000pts Offensive.... I had 500pts defensive... It was a very good fight with a lot of interesting hooks and jabs....

Take a look at Chucks write-up on his blog
"Point of Contact Wargaming with ChukaZulu"

Finally, Big Ted gets his spot back!!!!

Italian Napoleonic Troops.... "Grand Battles Napoleon" rules...

Here is the 1st Italian Division, Army of Northern Italy.

In GBN rules each figure equates to about 100 to 125 men, or 80 to 100 cavalry. A battery of guns is rated as 3 or 4 guns per stand. So a battery is usually made up of two stands.

GBN rules is bases its maneuver elements on the infantry and cavalry regiment and the battery. So basically, a unit of 4 stands equals about 1500 to 1900 infantry and 500 t0 800 cavalry for 4 stands. there are also infantry and cavalry skirmish screens available for regiments as well as actual light infantry "battalion" screens, 8 figures....

To get more information on the rules and its mechanics go to "Grand Battles Napoleons" web sight. siegeworksstudios.com. You can download an example of play and numerous charts and other interesting information.

Also, pictured is the Duke of Brunswick's "Black Legion" of 1809 with the "Hessian Legion included... I still need to paint up a Austrian Landwehr regiment to complete the corps.

British Napoleoic Army... "Grand Battles Napoleon"

Finished re-baseing and touching up my good old British Napoleonic miniatures. They are 15mm, mostly Minifigs,with some Essex mixed in for good effect. I painted most of these guys up many many many years ago...Lol. Though I actually painted up a few lately to round them off.

I have based them up for "Grand Battles Napoleon" rules. A very nice set from the publishers of "Koenig Krieg III" . A great set of rules for the 18th century.

I am now painting up some Old Glory 15mm French and allies to take on these fine British lads. I plan on doing up the Austrians of the 1809 campaign too. I have recently painted up the Black Duke of Brunswick's Black Legion, and Hessian's of the Hessian Legion, for the Saxony campaign of 1809...

Krono, A Great Fur Friend and a Great Gamer Kitty.... RIP....

On December 28th 2015, my Cat and Best Fur Friend passed into the Halls of Valhalla and the warmth of Heaven...

He was a stray kitty that walked into my life 2005. He was about 14 to 16 years of age at his passing...

Krono was a Russian Blue kitty, and was extremely smart, friendly and loving. He was good to all, and was liked by everyone who got the chance to meet him. He was always close by me and followed me everywhere I was at in the house. He loved to watch tv and read and paint miniatures with me...Lol. And just hang out with me whenever I was home.

He was a Great Friend and family member!!! He is missed everyday by me and all who knew him.... RIP Krono....

1813 Texas Filibusters... The First Texas Revoulution!!!

Here are some pictures of some 15mm Old Glory and a few Minifig and essex miniatures, painted up as 1813 Texas Filibuster's...

I am almost done with their Spanish rivals.... I am going to use a variant of Koenig Krieg III rules for this period.
