Are your wargaming ambitions bigger than your cupboards? Do you want to fill up your tabletop without filling up your Really Useful Boxes? 2D CQB Terrain Tiles are available now from the Full Metal Miniatures webstore: www.fullmetalminiatures.com/2d-cqb-terra...

Steffan @ FlankMarch @flankmarch.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

I’ve spent the last year designing the first 2D CQB Terrain pack, turning the tiles from an initial concept into something I’m happy to put on my own tabletop. I’ve been incredibly lucky to work through that process with Joe Bilton from Heroic Maps and the talented folks over at Deep-Cut Studio.

Want to add close-quarters urban combat to your tabletop games but don't have the space, time, or budget for a big collection of 3D buildings?

It's very rare that painting guides come with a health warning - always seek advice from a physician before attempting to paint Strichtarn camouflage on 28mm figures!

Steffan @ FlankMarch @flankmarch.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

A new Cold War Kickstarter means it's time for a new Wargaming Guide. This time it's a lot longer than any of my previous ones - around 25 pages - partly because I got a bit carried away but there was also just so much to cover.

It's nearly the weekend! BRUDERKRIEG 1 has been live for 7 days and it's already 100% funded with every single one of its Stretch Goals unlocked. If you've been on the fence there's now no reason not to jump in and become a backer.

I just backed BRUDERKRIEG 1 - Cold War East German Infantry on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/fla... Been looking forward to the East Germans as another option for WWIII gaming in 28mm for a while, so super keen to go all-in here! @flankmarch.bsky.social does amazing work.

Steffan @ FlankMarch @flankmarch.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

3 days to launch and very excited to finally show off the full East German "box art" from Marco Capparoni. Managed to catch up with Marco at Salute and see him painting live on the @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social stand. Incredibly lucky to work with such a talented guy who only keeps getting better.

Steffan @ FlankMarch @flankmarch.bsky.social · 13/04/2026

Nearly recovered from Salute 53 but with 4 days before the East German Kickstarter goes live there's no time for a rest! I really enjoyed getting the new figures (in Fallschirmjager commando mode) onto the tabletop for the first time, we had a lot of fun and it proved to be a real motivation boost.

Steffan @ FlankMarch @flankmarch.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

It's nearly time for the next chapter in our ongoing Berlin '84 campaign. Will the Fallschirmjägers' high-risk assault pay off? Will the American defenders be able to hold out against an overwhelming Pact offensive? There's only one way to find out... See you at Salute!

It's nearly the weekend! And there's just enough time for me to put down my paintbrush, push aside all the Salute prep that's taking up my desk and share the first photos showing what you can expect in the BRUDERKRIEG 1 Core Platoon (and confirm the project's launch date while I'm at it).

Who's that Panzer?!?! Matt at W3 Wargaming is working on a new and terrifying East German Kampfpanzer for the BRUDERKRIEG 1 Kickstarter. Despite their best efforts, NATO's intelligence analysts have thus far failed to identify this mystery vehicle. Do you think you know what it is?

Kradschützen were the recce elements of Panzer divisions, but often ended up fighting as mounted infantry where the need was greatest. Lacking many heavy weapons they were nonetheless well-supplied with small arms, a sticky problem for any infantry advance! youtu.be/QSojBNg93Ho

Phew, what a hell of a game against old dance partner @leeparnell.bsky.social with the Berlin Brigade taking on his Soviet motor company! I’ll try and compress the action into a thread here, with comments on the alt text! #wargaming #teamyankee

The set up. Dense city board, high rise buildings and even a section of the Berlin Wall on the right of this shot. In that kill zone there are blown out t55 tanks

Looking at the shattered appartment blocks and onto the Berlin Wall checkpoint

The two armies: lees was a BMP Motor brigade with one medium strength BMP 2 company, one short BMP1 company, x6 t80 main battle tanks, carnations, shilkas and Gaskins. Also some BMP 3s and some BRDM recon.

My Berlin Brigade was x2 troops of Hussars in Chieftain Stillbrew tanks (with Co and 2ic), a platoon of the Royal Hampshires with Wombats, some Fox recon, some rapiers, Blackburn Buccaneers and some abbots

Land mines are deployed on the green discs. The battle was ‘tighten the line’ with a salient L shaped deployment on each line
