I couldn't resist, you always need more zombies. Osprey have now done a zombie reference book.

Always good to have a reference, factual book about zombies

Field of Glory Renaissance

Osprey will be publishing the new hottnes, FoGR. I've seen a few beta games of this, as well as competitions and it looks good.

Time to start saving for a new army, it might be enough to tempt me into Renaissance.

Lisbon ITC

Off to Kisbon for a FoG competition next week.

Hopefully the german city league will do a bit better .

Made some changes to the list after the britcon debacle. Vi dumped the battle group of hqlbediers and one of tbe knights. I was able to add in two battle groups of medium food offensive spear and three units of light foot. Now to see how this one goes.

15mm T-72

Now, something for the insurgents. A T-72!






15mm HmmvEes

Some hummers for my marines to patrol in.

I bought the wrong models and got the larger troop carrier ones. Whoops, still, the look good





15mm Bradley

Here's a picture of my new Bradley for my marines in ambush Alley. It's from Peter Pig and I think that it came put quite good

Britcon 2010

Well, that was interesting.

I took my German City Leagues to Britcon and they turned out to be a dog of an army.

Looked good on paper but failed in real life

Having only two units of skirmishers really made life hard. Most armies avoiding going for a frontal attack and pulled me out of line. Once they were in my flanks, it was all over. It would have ended worse if the games had been a bit longer. I managed to get a few losing draws due to time out.

Back to the drawing board
