India 320 BC

 Keeping focus when no gaming is actually accusing is always a challenge.  As such I have drifted back to ancients after dabbling in ACW for a minute or two and then revisiting AK47 for about half a minute.

Consequently, I have updated and uploaded the campaign rules for From the Indus to the Ganges 320 BC.  The Campaign page can be found here.

I am working again on a scratch build of two bullock carts for the Republican Indians and maybe I'll have them finished by Christmas 🤦  I'll post pictures when they are done.

Blog Update May 11, 2024

 I have added a new page to the blog for ACW campaigns I have run/designed in the past.

The first bit on that page covers work on a campaign of the entire war I ran back in 2006.

More to come as time (i.e., work) allows.

Blog Update April 2024

The focus of the blog has changed.  Field of Glory gaming in the USA is essentially dead and until a viable ancient rules comes along that has the right feel I will be adventuring along different paths.

Consequently, other gaming periods might pop up from time time and at my whim.

I am currently revisiting an ACW campaign I ran back in 2006 using GDW's a House Divided.  The late Allen Thompson and I ran it well into 1862 and had multiple interesting battles using the original Fire & Fury Brigade rules.

As I go through the old campaigns rules and make some updates, I expect it will show up here on the blog so stay tuned for further adventures amidst the Blood, the Sand and  the Steel.

A Boy's Oath Update

 I am continuing to add to the Selected References page for the "A Boy's Oath" scenario.  I have begun going through past Slingshot issues and have added the relevant articles through the 1st 100 issues.  I will add more as time permits.

The updated list of references can be found by using this link and can always be accessed through the campaign page for this scenario.

2nd Punic War Map Correction

 Made a correction to the 2nd Punic War Map Draft.

Punic War Reinforcements

 Managed to get some new figures based this week for the "A Boy's Oath" campaign project.  Still need to flock them but needed to get started.

OG 15s that I got off Ebay - Mix of Republican Roman Hastati and Princeps Throwing and Advancing packs. 

OG 15s that I bought off Ebay - Republican Roman Triari.  I need 10 more stands of the Hastati and Princeps to have this many Triari.

Corvus Belli Spanish Large Shield Cavalry that I bought off Ebay.  These work as Spanish Large Shield Cavalry, Spanish Cavalry in Carthaginian employ or Republican Roman Heavy Cavalry.  I have another battle group of these that are OG15s that I have not photographed and another batch waiting to be painted.

Not sure of the manufacturer (might be Donnington) but I got these off Ebay too.  Spanish Small Shield Cavalry that will work as Spanish Small Shield Cavalry, Spanish Light Cavalry in Carthaginian employ or Republican Roman Light Cavalry.

2nd Punic War Draft Map

 The first draft of the map for "A Boy's Oath" 2nd Punic Wars campaign scenario is finished.  It will be added to the campaign page shortly.  See the current draft below:
