Most of them pepper the boring reality of history with much sought after special ingredients like Orcs and Elves and Magic and Dragons. What’s not to like? It’s a fan favorite backdrop for many video games.
Knights in shining armor, swordplay, jousting, intrigue and superstition. Gamer with a new gaming room….Ahh the middle ages. Hope that YR2019 ended the gaming drought. Estate issues, construction of the new game room, doing the collections transfer while “what’s in this box”, some work. Need stronger/better glue.Īs for me, been quiet in the gaming scene for the last six months. So the great “what’s in this box” surprise started, even with my habit of labelling everything so the labels can fall off. This was all caused with my move to Northridge near CSUN, with its storage space to consolidate all the collections under one roof. Sorting out the equipment pieces, placing as one collection, in one storage box, was the plan. This equipment collection came about from gathering all the time stored boxes of medieval stuff, from different shelves, closets, and storage locations. We are totally alike knowing your work but I still think your Chinese town board with overhead matching theme lanterns tops my efforts. Thank you for the comments on my collection habits Bill. the cars do move, slowly to near stop at times. Santa Clarita to Northridge via the I5/I405 parking lot. The Battle of Vimiero 1808 scenario is scheduled for the upcoming HMGS-PSW regional convention October 13/14th at California State University Fullerton).ĭetails and flyer below for the upcoming HMGS-PSW regional convention where WR will stage two scenario games: Battle of Vimiero 1808 (Saturday) and Flames of War 20mm scenario called “Pieper’s Charge”….Battle of the Bulge 1944 (Sunday). The Battle of Evora was the second “open field” Portuguese battle after the Battle of Teixiera June 1808, and was fought just before the British landed on the shores of Portugal leading up to the Battles of Rolica and Vimiero.
In reality it was a sharp short duration fight then chasing the fleeing Portuguese and Spanish into Evora, leading to immediate sacking of the city and population massacre. “did that battle” for the scenario bucket list. Calling it a “battle” is questionable so most likely WR will solo play the scenario to avoid embarrassment and can say…. local Portuguese revolt “units” stiffened by Spanish regulars. veteran French, trained in battle and combat experienced vs.
Time for a siege it seems, as WR has a large 25mm castle or city wall terrain collection to face off the siege war machines, plus the old Siege & Conquest Warhammer Ancients book on the bookshelf.ĭuring September WR heads for Portugal and the Battle of Evora July 1808, a totally hopeless scenario for the tabletop…. Others are the 1/72 OOP Zeveda plastic kits which if found are worth their value, or large resin kits from Grendal models. Most are the older RAFM 25mm metal kits which can be found on Ebay. Model miniatures come from various sources. The lower level of warmachine box B after removing the “attic” storage shelf insert.
