What to do when at work and bored

 What to do when bored at work. Well make a wargame of course... for a day of fun... I mean hard work...

So using Bob Cordery Portable wargame rules with some tweaks I decided to do Waterloo. 



Unfortunately Hougomont has been lost but Brit cav on flank have done well. Still close though British casualties at 19.5 and French at 20.7. Best unit of the match so far Sharpe rifles but they have been pushed back by some encroaching cav and heavy artillery fire. Did not get to complete the game but was pleasantly surprised how historically accurate it played out. It was clear by the end that the French would get to a point of having to commit the guard only to be surrounded and annihilated. Will be playing this more.














Cheap barrels and crates

 Given the prices and increasingly better quality on size and quality Temu is rapidly becoming a favoured terrain provider. Got these for just over 2 pounds ideal for Old West and skirmish games. Shown here with a very happy Dwarf and a Medieval Standard Bearer.

War of the Roses Late Medieval update

 Got the bases on these finally done. Really hoping to play some Medieval soon. Mounted are all Perry plastics foot are Grenadier Fantasy minis and the blue one is Wargames Foundry. The two standard bearers still need flags having cut off the originals drilled holes and added metal rods. Doing this is an easy conversion and one of my favourite. The yeoman and 2 dogs is one of my favourite miniatures ever. 




















Elven and Dwarven standard bearers flags and banners

 The elves still need some painting and shields. Happy with how latest flags and banners look. See previous post under flags and banners if you want the designs.

 Hoping to complete my Dwarven and Elven armies so needed few more flags and banners.
