Night Operation

Inspired by the magnificent film 1917, I set up this scene with my Early War Americans. Maybe they are Rangers in Algeria before the Torch landings or Marauders raiding a Japanese held village in Burma. Either way, I like the way these turned out. 

Massive Terrain

So I have an issue. I came into some massive terrain boards from a friend who is leaving the hobby. One board is 3 feet by 4 feet and is a Mars like planet scape. The others are a set of 6 modular 2 foot by 2 foot boards. If anyone is in the Kansas City area and is interested in buying these, let me know.

First Snow of the Year

The first snow of the year here at Empire headquarters is on the ground. Took this snapshot of a Northeast Tribesman stalking a moose in the early morning light.  The last game of Five Men in Sicily is in the books and I am working on that blog post now. Do not fear! The men of  C Troop have been earmarked for the invasion of the Italian Peninsula even with their less than stellar performance in Sicily. As always I will follow them through their journeys.  Before I post that final battle though, I ran a solo moose hunting game in honor of the winter weather, so expect that soon!

Airfix Strongpoint

 Finally created a stand alone base for my Airfix Strongpoint. My terrain isn't always Lincoln Logs! I struggle for storage space, so the building comes off the base, can be dissembled, and stores relatively flat. My Airfix Desert Outpost should receive a similar treatment soon.
