Past Collections: 28mm Fugures. Many of which I should never had parted with.

Photos form the old blog of 28mm figures I paid. These are gone now, sold or given away. I regret selling my Space Marines especially, as the new owner stripped off the paint work.

Sixth game of the year: Remote Brave Little Belgium

 Played a remote game of Brave Little Belgium with Onur. I took the Germans, he took the Entente. I had a good first turns with the Germans, with Liege falling quickly. The 1st Army was able to reach Ghent in time for giving me the victory. Namur fell quickly to the 3rd and 2nd Army, while an epic battle for Ghent erupted between the 5th French Army and the 1st German Army. By the end of the game the Belgian Army was destroyed, and British EF  left with one battered infantry division. The 1st Germany Army had lost half its units but held Ghent, while the 2nd German Army was also cut to pieces (by the BEF around Mons), while the 3rd Army had suffered losses but was still a strategic threat poised to enter France. The 4th Germany Army was marching towards the French border.  The French 5th and 4th Armies were still a strategic force and located between the two German Armies in the north. All in all a fun game.

Iliada Game Studio 6mm Ancient Mediterranean Buildings

 Ali from Iliada Game Studio was nice enough to gift me some of his lasercut, soft mdf infra structures from his ancient world line (Click here).

While a bit of a challenge to put together, they look great once placed on a base with flocking and vegetation. They come already painted. They will be used for my 10mm games. I highly recommend them.
