Wüstengelände für die Spielpräsentation des THS für die CONflict 2018.
Unsere Spielepräsentation auf der Conflict 2018 wird aus 2 Teilen bestehen.
Zum Einen wird es eine Feldschlacht nach den Black Powder Regeln geben, bei der französische Truppen der Expedition Napoleons in Ägypten sich bei den Ausgrabungen gegen angreifende Mameluken verteidigen müssen. Zum Anderen wird es ein Gruppenabenteuer geben, daß in entdeckten Katakomben spielen wird - Regeln sind hier die zur CONflict erscheinenden "Shootout in Dingstown" von Axel.
Mein Part waren 2 Geländestücke für das Schlachtfeld zu bauen, passend zur Thematik Ausgrabungen in der Wüste, gepaart mit ein paar einheimischen Ausgrabungshelfern.
Die Statuen von Sphinx und Nofretete waren einmal touristische Mitbringsel, die wie im Fall der Nofretete dann zerschlagen ... ich meine natürlich passen zerkleinert worden und dann bemalt worden sind.
Die Sandhügel bestehen aus Styrodur, Spachtel und Sand, die Bretterverschalung und Leitern aus Balsaholz, daß ich gebeizt und mit Highlights versehene habe und die Ausgrabungshelfer stammen von Wargames Foundry.
Mittlerweile bin ich (nur) im Sweetwater aus dem Kölner Raum darauf hingeweisen worden, daß die Farbe Grün bei Kaftanen ausschließlich religiösen Würdenträgern vorbehalten ist und meine Figur entsprechend einen extremen Fauxpas darstellt, der unbedingt behoben werden müsse ...
Zitat Hveðrungr:
"Du weißt aber schon daß in islamischer Tradition Sufis und Dervische und andere religiöse Würdenträger grün tragen? Die arbeiten normalerweise nicht...."

SAGA: My Saga begins - 1st point of Hearthguard
The next Point for my Gotlanders - the first 4 Hearthguards, all 4 Figures are from Gripping Beast.
If playing my Gotlanders as Anglo-Danes (so I can use Daneaxes) there will be 2 units of Hearthguard, 6 Figures with normal weapons and 6 more with the mentioned Daneaxes.
Accordingly, here are 4 Guards with normal hand-weapons and shields; as with all my SAGA-Figures before: all shields are freehand:
As this will be the last post for this year, I wish you all God Jul / a wonderful festive season and a Happy New Year; or as we say in Germany to the latter: Einen Guten Rutsch ins Neue Jahr!

SAGA: My Saga begins - 2nd unit of warriors
After a break that lasted a bit longer than expected (job and family left almost no time for the hobby), at least here are one more point for my Gotlanders - 8 more warriors.
This time the figures are a mixture of Gripping Beast and V&V, the latter are made from resin and very cleanly cast ones with many outstanding details; a real joy to paint them!
Without further ado, here are the pictures:
First an overview:
The 4 Gripping Beast figures:
And here are the 4 figures from V&V:
Next one will be the first unit Heathguards - I hope this time it will not be that long again before this unit gets ready ;-)
Hope you enjoy it!

Spielbericht / AAR: Black Powder AWI - Somewhere near Harlem Heights
Last Friday we had a small game using Black Powder rules, which was intended to bring 2 new players to the rules.
So we set up nothing fancy - a simple meeting engagement with small woods, a sunken road, fences and so on.
Both sides had equal forces and we didn´t use special rules for the different units, just 1st Fire for the regulars, skirmnishing for the lights and - well, militia for the militia ;-)
Miniatures and terrain from Holger and Heinz. Rudi and Robert (the new players) commanded the British, Georg and me the Americans.
It was an exciting and fun game with a clear victory from the British who have completely defeated our right flank - the dice gods were definitely not on our side *gg*

SAGA: My Saga begins - 1st unit of warriors
The next part of my future Gotlanders - the first point of 8 warriors, miniatures are Gripping Beast, Shieldwall and Wargames Factory.
This is also my first attempt to depict damage and dust on the shields and as you can easily see, I still have to practice a lot, but that´s life ;-)
And here are the pictures.
