6mm scifi terrain

Couple of pictures of some scifi terrain I picked up at Salute. Really nice stuff and not too expensive. The entire geohex complex cost £8.

I am going to pick up some more one day

Salute 2010

Woot!

Went to Salute 2010 today, first time and was impressed. It's held at the ExCel centre here in London and is basically a big hall packed full of vendors and demo games. I managed to pick up a bunch of stuff and got to have a look at a lot of new vendors. Got to see a bunch of very nice 6mm figures from Brigade Models and Dark Realm miniatures. Very very nice.

There were a few guys dressed up as Star Wars characters, a Darlek and vikings.

Campaign @ Milton Keynes

Off to Campaign in Milton Keynes in a couple of weeks. Will be a different style of comp as the list of armies is very restricted. It's designed to have a narrow time period and historical armies fighting each other.

I'm entering the middle ages group which has;

Feudal Polish
Mongol Invasion
Early Russian
Early Hungarian
Cumin

Will be interested to see how it goes.

Challenge @ Ascot

Just got back from the Challenge Field of Glory competition at Ascott. I managed to get nine games over three days (four practice and five comp games) and ended up with two wins, two loses and a draw.

Opponents

Rnd 1 Timurids , result Win
Rnd 2 Hun Chinese, result Lose
Rnd 3 Santa Maria de Hermandid. Draw. It wasn't for lack of trying, both of us just couldn't break each other.
Rnd 4 Arab Conquest, result Lose
Rnd 5 Ottoman Turks, result Win

I am pretty happy with the results. I lost against the Hun Chinese and Arab Conquest due to the mass of supported foot who I could not break. In the end, I got pushed to the end of the table and got crushed. As a skirmisher army, they were my worst nightmare. Time to rethink all of the light foot, they worked well, but I think that four battle groups of them was a bit too much. Maybe got for just a couple and have more real troops.

The comp was nice and relaxed with a pint of beer for 2 quid, so, you have to be happy with that.

I'll be back next year.
