£50 for three plastic figures!? They are only plastic 28 mm figures.
Can anyone say "Sucker at 20 paces" to anyone who buys these?

Game Classy podcast
I've found a new wargaming podcast called Game Classy
They are rude, swear a lot, heckle GW on a regular basis and are quite fun to listen to.
They take the place of Chance of Gaming podcast which seems to have died.

1mm Drop pods
ClearZone Horizon has just released these cool looking 15mm drop pods.
I've always wanted a decent drop pod, right back in the days when I played 40K.
I can see some of these being bought for my Tomorrows War games, when I get around to playing them.

The "Rebel Scum" transport
I know lots of other blogs and sites are talking about these new ships. Can't see me using one on the table but the rebel transport ship is calling....
If they release any imperial star destroyers, my credit card may be in serious trouble...

The Savoy advance up to meet the English
The armies eye each other up, wondering who will start first.
The Savoy start advancing in formation
The two armies collide
The Savoy line holds after the mighty clash of Japanese warriors. The Savoy rally behind their banners and manage to will all the impact combats, resulting in a few Japanese units disrupting and fragmenting.
The Japanese had the tough choice of breaking off and risking being shot at on mass or staying in. They chose to remain fighting and one by one, broke.
Game 6 8 - 12 draw/lose vs 30 Years War Protestant.
My final game was against Alasdair, the raining FoGR champ as somehow I was in equal 2nd place.
EEEEK!
I completely forgot to take any photos of the battle.
The Savoy line only had one choice, defensive position number 1, box in and hold. Alasdair's army comprised of seven battle groups of superior mounted, four battle groups of dragoons, two units artillery and two units of foot (the cheer leading squad).
I managed to hold out till time was called, having lost 14 out of 15 points and Alasdair lost 10 out of 15 which got me 3rd place.

Britcon 2013 Results
WOOOOOOT!
I got third place!
I got third place!
My Duchy of Savoy proved to be a lot harder than expected and went all in, with four wins, a loss and a draw.
11 battle groups of mass shooting seemed to work very well, though, one thing that was missing was cannons. I need my guns....
Photos to come later.
