Jerry Jenkins @jerryjenkins.bsky.social · 02/10/2026In the 1st game of the #ChainofCommand Jitra campaign, my ‘green’ Indian Army platoon defended the bridge, the Japanese waisted no time moving their Jump Off point up and deploying on to the bridge, they were met by a barrage of fire by dug in sections to make it a costly assault #spreadthelard. 2292
Jerry Jenkins @jerryjenkins.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Hugh thanks to Lloyd Lewis, for sharing his beautiful Indian Mutiny/ Rebellion, troops, it was a pleasure to be his partner for Phil Turner’s #SharpPractice weekend. Here are some snaps of the in the final game of the weekend, which went to the wire. 0130
Jerry Jenkins @jerryjenkins.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Facing off against Hill Tribes in The Indian Mutiny/Rebellion with Loyalists in #SharpPractice proved a challenge as they barrelled down the table & clatter in the slowly advancing columns. Splendid fun at Bristol Independent Gaming. 0160
Jerry Jenkins @jerryjenkins.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Yesterday’s game of #SharpPractice saw forces get clogged up in jungle making it troublesome to reach the objectives. Adding to troubles the Leader of the Light Horse who took it into his head to court the boatbuilder’s daughter, undertaking this important objective he was charged in the rear!! 0221

Jerry Jenkins @jerryjenkins.bsky.social · 18/09/2026At long last I got my #6mm BAOR miniatures on the table. Still getting to grips with #BattlegroupNORTHAG, but great fun, even if I had to drop back to the next defensive line after taking some Chieftain losses. The ‘unofficial’ gaming aids are a great help to ease new players into the gameplay. 1190
Jerry Jenkins @jerryjenkins.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Look what came today! Thank you @desmondo.bsky.social, it looks magnificent. Although it strikes me, I do not own a single American Civil War figure. I wonder is 6mm the way to go? 240

Jerry Jenkins @jerryjenkins.bsky.social · 14/06/2026Reacquainted myself with #WhataCowboy today in a quick game with the beautifully stylised #BlackScorpionMiniatures ahead of introducing it to some friends next week.

Jerry Jenkins @jerryjenkins.bsky.social · 03/06/2026The final game of the #SharpPractice weekend, was a scenario where the Huron & their French allies, intercepted a baggage train to carry it off, after a strong start the British column responded aggressively cutting off the route back to their Jump-off point winning a close run game. #spreadthelard 1343
Jerry Jenkins @jerryjenkins.bsky.social · 31/05/2026‘Heavy Machinery’ was a race to the objective scenario. The British were attempting to secure tools before the Huron can spirit them away. The Huron got lucky & drove the British Grenadiers back with excellent musketry after killing their big man in a duel they carried off the tools. #spreadthelard 0252
Jerry Jenkins @jerryjenkins.bsky.social · 31/05/2026The Second Game of the #SharpPractice weekend saw a clash between Continentals & a Huron War Party, attempting to persuade a neutral tribe to join their side, sensibly the elders chose to remain neutral, before long the Huron buckled under superior fire power and were driven off. #spreadthelard. 1251
Jerry Jenkins @jerryjenkins.bsky.social · 31/05/2026The 1st game of #SharpPractice, French & Huron forces raided a farmstead, after holding the centre, vicious fights erupted on both flanks between Native American allies, Although the French prevailed, just in the battle they failed to achieve any objectives, therefore drew the game. #spreadthelard. 0270
Jerry Jenkins @jerryjenkins.bsky.social · 31/05/2026What a fantastic weekend of #SharpPractice at Bristol Independent Gaming, 4 scenarios from the French & Indian War over two days saw Malice Canadiene along with their Huron Allies take on an array of British and Continental forces.

Jerry Jenkins @jerryjenkins.bsky.social · 28/04/2026Well the 3rd game of #Nam’68 in 3 weeks, clearly there’s something to the linked campaign in the rules which keeps us coming back. This time my squad arrived late moved up to flank a village, but failed to see much of the enemy, only for one the unit to be shot and killed. Feels pretty historic. 0160
