Had a great game today, hosted by the ever generous @gareth_lane Ultra modern forces, set somewhere in Ukraine. @geofftbond took charge of the Russian forces trying to capture a railway station and kidnap the local mayor. It was my job to stop him 😀👍

Its here, in printed form at last. Now then which PSC should I get to the table 🤔

Painted some 'Big Men' For my DAK platoon, along with a rather relaxed AT Rifle team. Err....are you going to shoot that tank or not Hans? #spreadthelard #chainofcommand2

Excellent game of CoC yesterday, a proper 'near run thing' with my Panzergrenadiers just holding onto the objective. @geofftbond 's US platoon supported by a heavy mg and a Sherman tank almost got to the objective taking two of my jump off points in the process. #Spreadthelard

Today's game is 15mm Chain of Command US v German patrol scenario. Halfway through the game, new rules arrive and now I'm distracted (in a good way) 👍

I didn't buy a thing at Newark, just walked around in awe looking at the fantastic games on display. Met up with lots of old friends and spent the day chatting shit mostly 🤣 Great day 😀

Great weekend just gone, with Arsehammer on Saturday, and The other Partizan on Sunday. I don't really have much interest in Warhammer tbh, but meeting up with old friends for beer and curry i could do every weekend 👍

Painted some 6mm Baccus French Napoleonic Foot Artillery. 3 guns and limbers, the guns are detached into their own base when unlimbered, and a 'blank' fills the space on the limber base. I'm probably going to add caissons or battery guard to these blanks in the future.

I had one-off these dead horses with a cart painted up for my snowy table, so it's thought id do one for my med table as well. Comes in handy as a deployment/jump off point or just as some table dressing.

Brrrt brrrt! A nice support option for my Sicily/Italian DAK platoon, in the shape of an MG34 MMG with 5 crew. Now with CoC2 it comes with it's own hard cover, so i knocked up a quick sandbag entrenchment for it to hide behind. #spreadthelard #chainofcommand2

28mm Napoleonic game with the grandson today, his French are trying to dislodge my Allied forces from their position on the ridge line.

Had great fun running our Chain of Command Sicily game at Clotted Lard in Exeter this weekend, I was also lucky enough to play in Phil and @JennyTurner1971's edge of Arnhem game using IABSM. #spreadthelard

With the release of CoC2, Geoff and decided to take a straightforward 'Attack on an Objective' scenario around some of the Lard days. The idea being, to introduce some new aspects of the rules to show the difference between the two versions, and show how they influence gameplay.

Great rehearsal today for next week's game of CoC at Clotted Lard in Exeter. @geofftbond has made some lovely buildings to sit atop my terrain boards, Brits v Germans in Sicily. #spreadthelard

The fourth and last Panzergrenadier section for my Sicily/Italy COC forces. Perry metal and plastics, chopped about a bit to get that popular over the shoulder future case of tinnitus pose 😂 Platoon command and supports next 👍 #spreadthelard #chainofcommand2

And now for something completely different. Having a little break from painting 28mm WW2, so painting 6mm Napoleonics just for a change. Two French Dragoon Regiments for the Peninsula, Adler miniatures from H&R.

Here'sthe third section for my DAK/Italy forces, one more left to do, as its always good to have the choice of an extra section. I've included a 'group' shot of the figures painted so far, I've tried to give the impression of a mix of uniforms, whilst keeping to an overall theme.

Sharpe Practice today, bit rusty but having lots of fun. The Brits almost lose because Spanish Guerrillas lose their discipline and charge French Line defending a wall (not a good move) The French attack falters as their Officers die in droves lowering their force morale to 0

Could any of you Napoleonic gamers help me with information about the French Chasseurs a cheval wearing the shako rouleau please 😀 What period and campaigns would be very helpful 👍

Another squad painted for my DAK Pzgrenadiers, two down, two to go. Perry 28mm metals and plastics. #chainofcommand2 #spreadthelard
