Post Without an Interesting Title: The Swedish Army of the Seven Years War
Normally when I write an article, I’m able to find an interesting battle painting, some interesting and quotable military characters, an interesting or exciting historical event or some pithy and amusing phrase to use for a title and/or introduction… … Continue reading
“Rogues! Do you want to stay in the toolbox forever?!” (My 15mm Seven Years War Prussian Army – Part 3: Cavalry)
My freshly-rekindled interest in the Seven Years War is progressing well and my painting output has increased by several orders of magnitude. Having finished the Würzburg ‘Red’ Regiment (my first SYW unit to be painted in 23 years) at the … Continue reading
“Rogues! Do you want to stay in the toolbox forever?!” (My 15mm Seven Years War Prussian Army – Part 2: Infantry)
As discussed recently, I’ve been dusting off my ancient Seven Years War collection, which hadn’t seen the light of day since the 1990s. In my last post I looked at Fred The Big, his generals and artillery and this time I’m … Continue reading
“Rogues! Do you want to stay in the toolbox forever?!” (My 15mm Seven Years War Prussian Army – Part 1: Generals & Artillery)
As discussed last time, I’ve recently decided to rekindle my painting and wargaming mojo. I’d grown slightly tired (for the time being) of the tedium of bold colours, facings, buttons, lace, cross-belts and shakos of the Napoleonic Wars, so have … Continue reading
Regaining the Mojo & Resurrecting The Seven Years War
I suppose like a lot of people at the moment, the current situation combined with a lack of wargaming opportunities has been killing my painting mojo. I did initially have a good gallop at the Napoleonics, finally completing my French … Continue reading
Some More French Napoleonic Allies
It’s all been a bit wordy and rather ‘Jungle Green’ around here just lately, so I thought I’d throw some Napoleonics in to brighten the place up a bit! As has been mentioned here before, everyone needs friends and that’s … Continue reading
The Forgotten Wargames Army: XIVth Army in Burma (Part 8 – 254th Indian Tank Brigade on the Road to Mandalay (and Rangoon) 1944-45)
In the Part 7 of this series I looked at the 254th Indian Tank Brigade and their decisive role in the defence of Imphal in 1944. This time I’m following the 254th Tank Brigade as they followed the ‘Road to … Continue reading
The Forgotten Wargames Army: XIVth Army in Burma (Part 7 – 254th Indian Tank Brigade at Imphal 1944)
For those who are still awake, here’s the next instalment of my series on the XIVth Army and specifically Commonwealth armoured units of the Burma Campaign. What was originally going to be one simple article and then expanded to become … Continue reading
The Forgotten Wargames Army: XIVth Army in Burma (Part 6 – XV Corps Armoured Group)
As discussed in the last part of this series of articles, I’m presently looking at the British and Indian armoured units that fought in the Burma Campaign of World War 2. In the last article I looked at the British … Continue reading
The Forgotten Wargames Army: XIVth Army in Burma (Part 5 – 7th Armoured Brigade & 50th Indian Tank Brigade)
The recent 75th anniversary of VJ Day and conversations with our friend Olivia on the Battle of Wetlet thread prompted me to re-read some history of the Burma Campaign and suitably inspired, I thought I’d add another post about the … Continue reading
