August-strange times

A couple of units painted, A couple of games played, a couple reports of units done. 

 What is missing is the AAR on a game so well written, I messed up and at 2 in the morning over  week ago deleted it lock, stock and barrel. I am painstakingly rewriting it, but it is slow going to make it as entertaining as the original draft. 

 Got my Father's Day present and the second wave Wars of Ozz kickstrter troops.

What I can show you is some WIP units and share with you a new game group in the area. 

 

The soon to be 'Red Cap" mushrooms.

 

 The Danish General Ewald, formerly a Hessian Jager officer.

Danish couriers.

 

Second wave Wars of Ozz troops--pumpkin cavalry.

Hammer head infantry.  Pumpkin chucker crew.

And now for local news...Tabletop Hobby, in Kensington (part off Berlin) is starting off a monthly 'Historical game day'.... talk to Dan or Ron.   The first day got postponed a week due to tropical storm Henri.  But only by a week.

 

Here are a few photos. Dan and Ron are both new to historicals, but eager to build and play. 

Dan's British legions.

 

Ron prefers the French, and 'top down' command painting.

 

Some of Ron's cavalry.

Also playing was a young gamer who valiantly squared off against the Grognard at the table. Jacob, I think was his name. The clock ran out before he beat me. My Hanoverians are to the right of frame.

 

A shot of the other flank, with Dan and Ron trading  jibes and poor dice rolling.  All good fun.

I had to cut and run probably an hour before any game decision,  but there will be another such day in September & October.  I am sure Dave and Ron will have more painted as they play. The store is a great venue, brightly lit, high ceilings, and very clean. That's important right now. 

 

Now to put some paint on units to finish them.
