Guys, I ran a play test of a N. Africa game in-the-works yesterday (original prep-post here) - TMP link Thought you might like to see some pics from the action. Though not an AAR – as I'll be folding in some tweaks to the scenario for its game-day debut next month.

Your terrain looks as nice as your miniatures. Bravo! - Ix |

Thank God to see folk wearing masks. I know the science is dodgy, but I wore one every day, for hours on end, back in the day. It may now just be gesture of courtesy to your fellows, rather than self protection, but "just" counts for a lot. Back yesterday, from a (the) football game in London. Over 50,000 crowded together and hardly a mask to be seen…and as for distancing. Plus we lost 2-1 That brewed up M4A! works really well. I have earlier commented on the detail on these. |

Gear Pilot, yep – 10-12mm miniatures (1/144th scale), and thanks for the kudos, and I appreciate those too from Farnox, Yellow Admiral, and Deadhead here! 'Funny', but we couldn't post these pics to our group's social media page, because the play-test was by invitation only, and as those maskless not invited might have been upset by the 'exclusion' (and so the hobby continues as a niche pursuit, even amongst itself)……that's the last I'll care to say about this too. |

Great pictures, FlyXwire! I have the same Middle Eastern buildings in 6mm by Timecast. |

Nice looking game, almost makes me want to take up war gaming. Almost. :D |

Pete and MH, thank you Gents! MH, you would be welcomed here, or on any tabletop you might choose to grace. In the meantime, your modelling contributions to this forum are demonstrating excellent [and appreciated] participation. |

Lol, well a MINIATURE website should be about more than just politics. |

Well like old von Clausewitz said (except he said it in German and the exact translation is much debated) War is the continuation of politics by other means. That was one heck of a long retreat for sure. El Alamein to Tunis basically. Was the retreat from Burma to India actually longer I wonder? |
