No ADLG events since July, but a free weekend and a quick check of the French part of the ADLG forum and one weekend in November I was making a last-minute trip to Avignon, and taking with me a very small but relatively freshly painted Assyrian army packed into the world's tiniest tin for a hand-luggage-only travel plan involving the smallest rucksack in my collection.
The story of these 5 games is now online in a badly mangled Del-Boy-esque version of bad French, with additional Franco-Greek commentary on wine, beer, cheese and obscure local spirits as added bonus as well.
The Assyrians took on Galatians, Carthaginians, Ugarits, Kushans and finally Alexander The Great, and the outcome of these battles is now available in the usual format on the Madaxeman Website, but also this time they comes with an accompanying Podcast available in both Audio (via Podbean or iTunes) and Youtube Video formats.
However you choose to access the reports, you can be assured that they are all "Lovely-jubbly"…
(Warning: If you're not familiar with the UK sitcom Only Fools & Horses you may find elements of these reports even odder than usual !) |

Very much enjoyed the arm wrestle against the Galatians. Inspiring paint job on those Heavy Chariots. Any tips on creating that wall paper look? |

It's , erm, wallpaper. I googled for "Assyrian designs and images", picked the good ones, scaled them down and printed them out and cut to fit! |

On a side note madaxeman, with your connections do possibly know what became of the Alain Touller's master molds after he passed away? |

Sadly I believe they did not find a new home and may well be lost. I've asked a few French gamers and that seems to be the common view |
