One man and his brushes.: Gaming - Back of Beyond at Partizan with The League

Picking up those brushes again.

Hi and welcome to the occasional mutterings of Dave Doc, a military modeller and some time gamer. Gaming and model making has given me a real education, History & Geography(obvious really), Artistry, Politics, Economics, Logistics, Project Management -you try building miniature armies without the last 3.

I will use the blog to record my creations & the odd occasion I actually do some gaming.

I have always been inspired by the aesthetic side of gaming. Playing on well constructed terrain using excellently painted units is always a joy.

Gaming - Back of Beyond at Partizan with The League

This weekend was the usual May visit to Partizan . I was gaming with the good guys from the League of Extraordinary Kriegspielers. Steve and Rory had set up a cracking 20 foot table with lots of action on it as a result of the usual devious scenario work . I was playing the Bolshevik commander out to spoil Der Barons day .

Mountains one end and down to the Chinese river town .

All pictures credited to Steve L .

Steve has a wonderful collection with lots of eye candy . It’s a privilege to be asked to play with it .

My dice were reasonable over the day . The 7 consecutive 1’s were then immediately off set by 5 hits out if 6 shots . Non of my vehicles broke down either.

My Bolo plan of working with Chinese almost worked until a last minute stab in the back by Perfidious Albion - drat! Lots of laughter and I will have my revenge !

I was that busy over the day I saw little of the show , though did chat with a number of people through the day . I didn’t have any shopping planned as I am working through existing stash this year and downsizing some collections to relieve storage issue . I had a good session selling on the bring and buy so that making some space in the cave.
