October is here, so doing a Paint-Tober challenge. Having been aware for so long due to life, i'm mostly doing this to find what I need to relearn. First figure - Arsenal Vanguard Forge with a launcher. Attempted "glowing" lenses with contrast and a light layer of white ontop, not 100% on it.

Tonight's painting - not 100% sold on the final result (mostly the face) but was a fun model to paint and looking forward to other items from the Arsenal bundle I grabbed.

Fun evening at the Dastardly Regular Opponents doing IT support and playtesting Project Elements. Fun times on the game, less fun times on the IT.

Peeling myself away from a long weekend of WarDogs and Old World Gaming, it's time for this week's edition of The News Stand. And this week, in its new Saturday morning slot, there is a strangely high number of boats among the previews, releases, and more. Read on for the details, only on ChargeBlog

After a delay due to work and after peeling myself away from two separate modern-day shooter game betas (one very easily, the other one I'll be running back to once I finish writing this), it's time for a double-week edition of The News Stand, only on ChargeBlog!

Michael Charge @chargedog.bsky.social · 13/08/2026
Yep, you know what that means. Currently very busy with the day job so I will be skipping this week's edition of The News Stand due to time constraints. These interruptions should become less common over the next few months, but apologies for missing this week. See you next Friday for a bumper issue

Michael Charge @chargedog.bsky.social · 09/08/2026
Well that's this week's reading sorted - looking forward to taking a look at what's new in _NearPresent.

A little delayed due to spending some time actually rolling some dice (shocking, I know), but The News Stand is here to kick off August properly. New patron updates and releases, the arrival of books to Amazon and more, all in this week's edition of The News Stand!

The News Stand is coming but tonight was a little bit of Wargames Psychiatry with the Creative Regular Opponent on Project Elements. Positive first few rounds, definitely going to be fun once we run the elements at full size.

In every wargamer’s collection of terrain, buildings hold a special (and in many cases oversized) place. But what if there was some way to have a load of them for a fraction of the storage space? Luckily, Flank March Miniatures has a few ideas, and I have some more details on ChargeBlog.

Summer is here, and so the cup doesn't quite floweth over as everyone takes time out. However, there are still some great previews for all things Ultramodern this week, so read on for more - only on ChargeBlog!

You can tell it's summer as this week's post is missing many of the big names (who I assume are taking a well-needed break). However, there are still plenty of exciting things to talk about, with releases, previews and more! Read on for all the details, only on ChargeBlog.

Bad news, everyone, looks like I'll be missing tomorrow's edition of The News Stand. The old ChargeRig's graphics card has failed after six years, so I'll be spending tomorrow evening getting it back online. Going to delay my return to the news until next week to get everything sorted.

Excellent day of Big Chain of Command with all three of the Regular Opponents. Pictured - the moment where my Tiger overran the British snipers. Not pictured: what happened to the Tiger a few phases later at the hands of the PIATs in the nearby Chateau Croissant.

Proof I do still occasionally paint things! Getting some paras ready for Sunday's D-Day game (yep the one delayed from February). That's my Senior Leaders and sniper team done (with radio man as an extra), now to work on the support options - anything that isn't painted can't be used!

Michael Charge @chargedog.bsky.social · 04/04/2026
I would love to claim that the delay on this post is because I knew a load of extra information was coming out after midnight from several of the usual people. However, the reasons behind the delay of this week's edition of The News Stand has more to do with the latest Gray Zone Warfare patch...

Michael Charge @chargedog.bsky.social · 28/03/2026
It’s a bit quiet this week on the Ultramodern Wargaming front – I guess everyone is at Adepticon. However, we do have a few new things to cover before I disappear back into the jungles of Lamang… Read on for all the details, only on ChargeBlog!
