Chain of Command Campaign Game in 1/48

Just a very quick entry this time with James' and Dave's ongoing Normandy Campaign in 1/48th- still a sight to behold:

Bye for now.

Just Add Milliput....... Renedra Mud Hut

Hi,

Just a quickie to say that I last week I finished the Renedra Adobe Mud Hut plastic kit. Overall I was quote impressed by the kit although it did need some filling as you can see in the pics below. Next I plan on buying one or possibly two kits and doing some conversion work (one I have recovered my razor saw's from the Garage of Doom and /or moved house!).

Pics up of the painted article just as soon as the varnish has dried!

For now here's the kit bases and filled!

Bye for now

Plancenoit in 54mm and To the /Strongest Medieval Mayhem!

So, I've not got long to commit to this entry but I do have a few pics that I can show from a couple of the games at the club tonight. I'll try to return to the blog tomorrow and add a few details but in the mean time I'm just going to have to leave you with the pics! sorry about that.

EDIT: To the Stongest Game Ammendments Added:

OK, we lowered what archers needed to hit to a 6 card and limited the damage they could to to disorder on one activation and destruction on a second activation. you have to bear in mind that one doesn't always get a second activation. It worked well! I have a funny feeling that Simon  might see this as heresy but it did actually work quite well. We've got the game to finish next week and judging my Nigel's tactics (the very imitation of me when Jim trounced me!) it will all be over bar the plaudits come next Thurday at 10;30pm :>)

Chain of Command Jump Off Markers for North Africa?

I've just seen Matt of The Wargames Table Blog's excellent post on some beautifully subtle Chain of Command Jump Off Markers (Pic below)  and it set me to thinking...... I'm going to be doing my Chain of Command forces for the North African campaign using mainly Perry Miniatures and i wanted something just as subtle for my own Jump Off Points. It's easy to picture a burned out tank or a rusty piece of kit left to rot in the desert but they would in all likely hood be too large for the bases which have to be reasonably small from what I have gathered(?).

Matt's lovely Jump Off Point Markers:

I've been racking my poor brains and I just can't think of anything but sand!! I suppose I could have a discarded 3" Mortar but that seems like an awful waste of the rest of the pack. Would a rusty Universal Carrier fit? I just don't know at present......

I am open to ideas if anyone out there has any?

Bye for now.
