Battlefields 2026 21MARCH26

a game I ran a while back 

      One of the surest signs of Spring is the appearance on my calendar of the Battlefields Warming Convention. This year it will be hosted by the Pro-Or-Con guys on 21MAR26 at a new location. This is always a great convention with an impressive Flea Market and a friendly relaxed atmosphere. Sessions run from 9am-1pm, 2pm-6pm and 7pm-11pm and games run from skirmish-level actions to battalion sized games. Admission is a paltry $15.00, there is an on-site bar and a food truck will be in attendance with plenty of nearby restaurants. 

        You can find the full information and register on the Tabletop Events website. Better yet sign up to run a game. I will be running a Midgard game, I hope to see you there.

28mm Wargames Atlantic Operators

        When daring deeds need be done you call in your Special Forces Operators. In most cases these guys represent the end-product of incredibly intense and realist training, seasoned with years of experience and provided with the very best equipment money can imagine (in other cases you have military corporation LARPers or Third World despots that buy stuff that "looks cool" but lack the training and discipline). Either way Wargames Atlantic has given you the plastic soldiers to accomplish your mission. 

       As we have come to expect from Wargames Atlantic the minis are cleanly cast in medium gray plastic with no flash and only the barest hint of mold-lines. On each of the four sprues you will find five minis; four standing and one kneeling. These are accompanied by a large selection of weapons and a superabundance of heads. The weapons are clearly defined and easily recognizable, I'm sure a few favorites have been left out but there is a good working sample.

More monkeying around with video

       More playing with Picverse. I have no urge to paint right now so I waste time doing this.  

 
sometimes it works fairly well

 
 
and then, there are times when it's surprisingly good 

 
and then, other times when it doesn't want to follow instructions
