2025 games count.

We're using Alto Comando rules (High Command) by Riccardo Affinati, there's the english version somewhere on the web. It's an fast and easy set of rules for WWII divided in 6 principal scenarios (North Africa, Greece, Italy, Russia, Normandy and Pacific) using divisional perspective (a single base being a battalion 500/1000 men strong). So a single truck would be a motorized infantry battalion. In this rules set a British infantry division is made of 13 bases, 1 hq, 1 recon, 9 motorized infantries and 2 artillery. I have to admit that even in the desert I managed to clog the roads with some traffic jams...

Thanks - I wondered if they were that kind of level - we have enjoyed Eisenhower games that are also 1 base = 1 battalion. I've found a page on free wargames rules for High Command, but unfortunately the links are broken.

Interesting, I'll give a look into Eisenhower.
The only English scenario I've got is the Eastern front, so here it is

1864 Schleswig Holstein Danes Vs Prussians. Black Powder II at brigade level.
Would describe that as a Danish defeat rather than a Prussian win!
Full report soon.

What a great looking game Steve.

It is! I do like the mix of figures used in these games. Has that old school imagination feel - but done in lovely 10mm!

Thanks Fred . Having gone down the ImagiNations route some years ago, it is great to be able to use any toys you like in your games, within reason of course!

Really it's within whatever justification you can come up with!

Dead Man's Hand again on Friday - table top Wild West game - 2 players - 6 player hours. We played 3 acts to make a single scene - not sure if that is 1 game or 3!!! The first act was 1 figure vs 1 figure, concluding with both full gangs on the table in the 3rd act

Two fantastic games of Midgard at Herts of Lard 2025. One Middle Earth game and one Romans vs Ancient Britons.

Two evenings into a 20mm Napoleonic game using our regular hosts home brew rule set

Reinforcements still arriving so at least another couple of evenings to go

One village has changed hands twice and much of the heavy cavalry of both sides has been roughly handled, including one unit of Cuirassiers losing its eagle to the Scots Greys

A couple more evenings of the 20mm Napoleonic game using our regular hosts home brew rule set

I think we've got all the troops on the table now...

The heavy cavalry of both sides has suffered further rough handling

Both sides artillery is playing merry hell with the opposing infantry

Should reach a resolution this weekend

10mm WW1 Mesopotamia using If the Lord Spares Us.

As Sunjester said two fantastic games of Midgard at Herts of Lard 2025 on Saturday. My first game was a Middle Earth game (Crossing of the Eyewash) and the second one Romans vs Ancient Germans (Teutoberger Wald).

On Sunday I played four games of Wings of Glory at Entoyment in Poole.  There were 13 of us playing:
 - a 1917 dogfight Albatros D.III vs SPADs
 - a three aircraft Gotha bombing raid on Paris escorted by three Albatros D.V against 5 French SPAD XIIIs (the Gothas barely needed their escorts)
 - air superiority over Verdun 1916 - Fokker E.III vs French N.11 and N.16
 - 1918 dogfight Fokker D.VII vs. SE-5a/Snipes
