Weather was perfect for priming today, so made the most of it! Preparations for running/playing the Battle of Tukayyid Campaign finally commenced in earnest. Entirety of ComGuards force & two Clan forces (Smoke Jaguar & Wolf) got primed. Full breakdown later. #Battletech

More Battlefleet Gothic nostalgia. The Imperial Fleet: Emperor-class Battleship, two Grand Cruisers, a mix of Battle- and Line- Crusiers, and a scouting fleet. #Wargaming #OldHammer #BattlefleetGothic

More Battlefleet Gothic nostalgia. The main core of a Chaos Warfleet: a Desolator-class Battleship and two Repulsive-class Grand Cruisers. A solid mass of concentrated firepower - lances, weapon batteries and (unusually for Chaos!) torpedoes. #Wargaming #OldHammer

More Battlefleet Gothic nostalgia. Space Marine Battlebarge and two Strike Cruisers. Quite literally heavy metal - as that Battlebarge is some lump of metal! #Wargaming #OldHammer

Battlefleet Gothic (nostalgia) recovered from Egan Heavy Industries Strategic Reserve (I.e. the attic). One of the finest Specialist Games ever produced by GamesWorkshop. So many good memories playing this. Compete introductory box, w/Armada supplement. #Wargaming #OldHammer

Update - French Cuirassier Officer. Basing left to finish. General Samuel François L’Héritier, 11th Cavalry Division. Really loving these 28mm metal Perry sculpts and definitely enjoying going down Napoleonics wargaming black hole! #Wargaming #NapoleonicWargaming

Two cracking games of Littoral Commander: The Baltic this evening, with honours even to Red and Blue Forces. Absolutely superb game design - simple core engine; challenging tactical decision-making and understanding of inter-linking elements/effects. Just brilliant! #Wargaming

Day 3 - Ligny. Back to the start - with the Prussians. Amidst the villages & hamlets, our Line and Landwehr attempted to resist the weight of French Infantry & Cavalry who threw themselves repeated at our lines and squares. Again, we held.. but with terrible cost! #Wargaming

Day 2 - Waterloo. The main event. Thunderous clashes of cavalry, with relentless grind of brutal infantry combat across the length of the front. My British Foot Guards alongside 3rd British Inf Div held the centre..but only just. Breathtakingly tense & great fun! #Wargaming

Home safely & reflecting on a bucket list wargaming hobby experience - playing ‘The Hundred Days’ Napoleonic campaign. After months of planning & painting, it was 3 days of epic wargaming w/1000s of figures, an awesome table, and some of the very best people I know. #Wargaming

Day 1 - Quatre Bras. Hard, brutal, relentless infantry fighting as the French tried to batter through the Allied lines, with reinforcements being hurled into the melee as they arrived. Fantastic - small’ - warmup game as we reacquainted ourselves with the rules. #Wargaming
