After many years playing & painting FoGR, it's been good to get back to painting my medievals. Yes yes, I know, there is a theme going on here.
I bought a bunch of Donnington miniatures at Salute and have been busy painting them up.
The knights are from Mirlington, who I've had for years. I stripped them as they were painted rather badly.
I've been given some tips on my basing from some of my club mates and I've given them a go.
The generals
Donnington General
Foot Knights
I'll be using these as either foot knights or 2HW
Corvus Belli Spearmen
Knights
This is my little site devoted to my favorite wargames, ADLG, ADLG-R, Field of Glory Renaissance, Gruntz and what ever else I discover.

ADLG in Salamanca
The Spanish are running the worlds this year in Salamanca and the Central London mob are descending on mass for the ADLG competition.
It's an open competition and I have no idea how I'll go. I'm hoping for mid table.
The comp runs over three days and we are hoping for some tapas and red wine time.
I'm looking forward to catching up with the Italian team, didn't get to talk much to them at the Belgium comp as I was running FoGR.
El Creator will be there (Herve Caille).
First game will be a historical matchup. Only two elephant armies, which surprises me
This is the runners and riders (six more to come)

Worlds 2017
It's almost July and time to think about the Worlds.
This year, I'll be joining the central London mob as part of our pre Brexit tour and joining them in Salamanca for ADLG.
They had us as wine and sunshine.
We don't expect to do well, we are aiming for mid table this time, last year, the CLWC got spanked very hard at the Worlds in Belgium.
It's an open period, allowing for two armies lists, so, like most people, it will be an anti elephant list and one for everything else.
I've got no idea what to bring.

Roll Call 2017 Results
The Swedes came, saw and almost conquered.
I managed three big wins, only loosing to Stephen. Stephen and I were having a good old punch up with the Swedes slowly beating on the Swiss when a general allowing himself to be killed. The resulting chaos saw 5 battle groups of foot all go disrupted or fragmented in one turn, which turned the tide to the Swiss.
Just a bit more Sabaton to enjoy, Carolus Rex

Roll Call 2017, release the Swedes!
Roll Call 2017 is up soon and I'll be playing in the FoGR 25mm period.
Little sad to see that the 15mm FoGR period got cancelled as there was only one entrant.
So, I'm bringing out my 25mm Later Swedes again for a run.
I may be listening to some Sabaton to get inspired!
