The postman always rings twice. Just arrived inside of 48 hours from #greatescapegames the new 'No Easy Ground' WWII rules and Tactical Advantage Card deck. I shall look forward to trying to read these later. #wargaming #WWII

I’ve ordered new #WWII rules No Easy Ground that due for release this week. The rules are an update of the 2012 printing of #IronCross from #GreatEscapeGames . I’m hoping these will be as innovative as the original but allow for more artillery options & air cover. #wargaming youtu.be/QDQlgAoxiL4?...

Yesterday I had a game of #ADLG and my Thematic Byzantines took a right thumping from Koreans! #15mm game where the dice gods were definitely not in my favour and nor was the terrain 😬 #wargaming

This afternoon at #DDWG I had my first game of Sword & Spear from #greatescapegames . Great fun with interesting mechanics of play. I forgot to take many photos but we had 400 points of my Early Swiss against Hungarians. It was such a close game I have no idea if there was a clear winner! #wargaming

Another good game of #ADLG with Andy Leeser yesterday, my Komnenan Byzantines v Andy's Chola Empire. an interesting game where my two LI javelins became the troops of honour by holding off a viscious enemy. Needless to say my cavalry didn't like the elephants but did their best. #wargaming
