Minefields and Marsh

Just a few photos of some of the things I have been preparing for the game in September. First up a few section of the 3m of minefields that are in production (2m complete and 1m WIP). 20mm Andreivia WIP in background (2 more Type 61 tanks and some Andreivian Airborne (Britannia Vietnam range). More on those in a later post.

Next up some Marsh sections.

I will try and take some better shots of these as soon as possible. 

As always thanks for looking.

Neils' Khemed Solo Campaign

Just had to put a link on here to this great Solo Campaign based in Khemed from the TinTin books run by Neil from the CWC Forum.

Give it a visit if you can, well worth a look.

News from Shed HQ

Not much I can show at the moment as I am working on some surprise elements for the September game at Deeside. However I thought I would share this with you!

Picked this up for silly money!

HMS Illustrious in 1/350 Scale

I thought I would send it to Richard C to build as I know he had so much fun doing the Ice Breaker for 'Arctic Strike' ;-)

Arctic Strike Blog

Since Arctic Strike took place in 2013 I have not posted on this blog but after some thought I really want to revisit this again some time in the future as I think it could make a superb display game at one of the many shows. I am slowly going to update it as I redo parts of the coast and build some purpose built terrain boards. So please check in now and then as this project progresses.

Water Water Everywhere

Now the maps are ready for this years CWC Megagame I have started building some of the terrain that will be needed. The northern section of the table will represent the area around Schwandorf and Wackersdorf and a quick look on Google Earth and also a road map of the area shows that one particular feature of this region is a series of lakes which vary in size from small ponds to much larger lakes. Using the 2mm MDF shapes available from East Riding Miniatures I have produced a range of lakes and ponds to represent this area on the tabletop.

Cheers, thanks for looking.

Sad News

I have just been informed of the sad news that our fellow wargamer Chris Justice passed away in April. Chris had been a regular attendee at our CWC Megagames since the first game in 2012 and he was working on a Austrian force for this years game in September. I am saddened at the thought that this larger than life character will not be joining us again and I plan to dedicate this years event to Chris. The next time I visit the wonderful Royal Hotel in Dungworth where I have fond memories of Chris eating his favourite steak and oyster pies I will be raising a glass of ale and eating a pie in his memory. A really great guy who will be sadly missed by all of us.

RIP MATE
