I don’t see a thread on this. If there is, please excuse this one (and point me to the existing one).
I ordered a solitaire game today that should arrive tomorrow. It’s kind of modeling related so I thought I’d post it then, and was looking for a thread.
Nothing by post for a long time (some years!) but I sometimes drop into the local newsagent if there’s something interesting in the current Games Workshop part work (currently WH40K: Imperium); availability is irregular but I’m only picking up stuff that can be built as a stand-alone static model, form part of a diorama or has conversion potential. I’ll also pick up the occasional “Wargames Illustrated” if it as an interesting cover mount (usually a sample of the latest-released “Warlord Games” plastic).
Cheers,

I’m not going to build a 4 engine bomber for the really big plane group build, but I am mindful that 80 years ago this month, the first B-17 missions of the USAF were flown. I small beginning. And I was thinking about this and thought about how it might be fun to play this game.
These arrived the other day, I’ve cleaned up most and begun painting.
They are for the fantasy naval game Armada by Mantic games

and the start I’ve made
Not much activity here, but I’ll share my latest postie parcel. Now I’m very impressed as I ordered this last Thursday and it arrived today all the way from Australia, thats 5 days from Oz to the UK in December! Some parcels that are only in the next county take longer than that.
So what did the postie bring.
3D printed goodness from Major Minis as proxies for Warhammer 40K.
Can’t wait to get these cleaned up and primed ready to paint, think I know what I’m doing Christmas day once I wake in the afternoon after the night shifts.
I am trying to find more solo games as not many in this area enjoy the same type and period as me.
Just this week I saw Tiger Leader was reduced at Amazon ($78) so I ordered one.
Ive read theough the rules and it is supposed to be able to be played in 30-60 minutes per scenario.
Its a solo only game but has hexes, tokens and what appears to be a good randomizer for the enemy.
Ill let you know how my first game goes, probably on Sunday or Monday.
I had fun with both B-17 leader and Phantom leader…
Its been a chaotic summer!
I managed to start a game and finished a turn and a half before having to take it all down again.
So far it was pretty good, but I have to get a few questions clarified before I attempt it again.
That one looks nice David, I have their Flames of War and Team Yankee games which I’ve played a couple of times including running a couple of demo games at an event.
I’ve been building my collection of vietnam era rubicon models as thet are exceptionally well detailed.
The last game item I ordered was Battleground:HD, a modern update to the Battleground:WW2 easy eight rules which I like. This version is updated for cold war through Vietnam but the WW2 published material will work and they’re also covering that period. I have Gato Leader and we did a multi player game with it.
Some British Team Yankee reinforcements arrived.
The 432’s will get built as the mortar carrier variant plus a FAO, Spartans, two as Strikers and two as MCT’s then two Scimitars and two Scorpions.
