Golgotha's Board Games - Victory at Waterloo - Attactix Adventure Game

Herewith, a classic old Napoleonic board game by Attactix Adventure Games, called Victory at Waterloo. This is a great little board wargame. Simple and quick play whilst being tactical and realistic in result. I particularly like the fact that strategic positions can be won and lost and that lines reform.

First game was French Tactical victory - so won the battle but lost the war styled result, see table below. The Prussians in my first game had little to no impact except a small cavalry action. Also easy to play these rules solo.

Picked it up for £3.00 at a charity shop - in very good condition.

Alternative and or additional rules are available on Boardgamegeek and look like they are worth giving a go...

Whilst not as good a game as Napoleon by The Avalon Hill Game Co, see: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/1662/napoleon-waterloo-campaign-1815 it is still very enjoyable.

On the field of battle.

Golgotha's Colonial - A wife for the chief, Airfix Tarzan and animals

Herewith, a real blast from the past the old Airfix Tarzan miniatures. Also included some toy animals.

My chief now has a family - wife and two children as well as some warriors. The hut has obviously paid off. Hope his family and tribe every success.

The boy has a chimp. This ape may well substitute for the Congo monkeys.

Toy Giraffe whilst it looks initially too large looking at pictures of these they are surprisingly large. This lion will be better suited to using with my 28mm Gladiators etc. The Gorilla is a toy which has seemingly been recast so many times from the original made in England Britains that it has hardly any detail remaining, nor am I that keen on this aspect of the Congo wargame rules.

These toy crocodiles are are tad large will use the non Airfix for 28mm.

Toy rhino looks about right in size will need a repaint.

I am very happy with the two Airfix crocodiles, I will use these for my Ancient Egyptians too.

This is my favourite miniature in this set.

Some of the cats I think I will use the Cheetah, first in the left foreground, with my Ancient Egyptians too.

The Elephant in the lead here is from the Airfix set.

I did a crackling effect on some parts of the Elephant bases. Happy with how it turned out. Do want to play a scenario in which an Elephant hunting expedition goes horribly wrong.

Two European adventures / hunters, these are not great miniatures. They are unlikely to see much use.

Golgotha's Modern - Vietnam War - Aircraft

Herewith, two Phantoms for flying over the battlefield and dropping some ordinance. These are smaller than the miniatures but good for now to do a quick bombing run. Got one navy and one air force aircraft. I believe the larger of the two the air force camo Phantom is a quick fit model by Revell.

Golgotha's Modern - Vietnam War - Esci / Italeri

Herewith, some modern Vietnam miniatures, these are by Esci / Italeri. Still a work in progress.

These paint up better than the miniatures by Pegasus. They are more chunky in appearance and the equipment is more defined. They are more elite / experienced looking in appearance. I will use these then as better quality troops. I am happy with the camouflage I have done on some of their kit.
