Rhodesian Light Infantry -Eureka U.K

I have always liked the look of the Eureka Miniatures Bush Wars range but the cost of buying form Australia always put me off ,there was a UK stockist but they charged very high prices ,but I recently found Eureka UK and the figures are now a very reasonable price wise and the P&P is very low so I grabbed a coupel of sets. Both sets represent a stick of RLI ,each has a stick leaader with SLR and Radio ,2 troopers with Slr's and a gunner with a FN Mag. Excellent castings and brilliant service will get the full range plus a lot of other bits now. Will use them for Force on Force or Spectre Games

all great castings with great detail

love the pose of the Mag Gunner

AvP

Last nights game at a very quite Sheffield Wargames Society was an Alien v Predator game ,not played this for a while and really enjoyed it .

the Weyland Yutani commandoes start their turn 

Doctor Who v The Cybermen

Had some young visitors around today so took the chance to play Dr Who Exterminate  with them a fast fun game ,not played in a while and didnt remember how much fun it was but also how confusing with the rules split into 3 books ,must take the time to ccut and paste things around .The 12th Dr with Clara ,Madame Vastra ,Jenny Flint and Straxx had to get back to the Tardis with Missy and the Cybermen stopping them ,Missy calling in reinforcements via transporter pads ,The Doc won but lost Jenny and Strax on the way...

Cruel Seas -RN v IJN

Another try out of our house rules  alterations to Warlords Cruel seas (pretty much only the movement rules for boats are original ) really good fun especially when a stray Torpedo from a vosper sank the flower class corvette .

Charlie Foxtrot Counters

Ive bought a few bits off Charlie Foxtrot and have always had good service and the bits Ive bought have always been nice ,but I ordered a few shieldwall markers off them and I really like these ,even though they are simple designs I suppose ,I will use them in my clash of Empire games you get 8 of the triple shield markers for £1.75 a real bargain .

in front of some Artisan,Gripping Beast and Footsore Vikings

a good size ,thick enough to pick up easily and tough enough to last

Vikings -for Clash of Empires

First few Vikings about another 110 to paint ,these are Gripping Beast plastics and Artizan metals ,I also have a lot of  footsore miniatures and Victrix  plastics and some gripping beast metals to paint .The Building is a 4ground mdf pre painted.

Clash Of Empires

With our recent conversion to Great Escape Games Rule sets ,Rules of Engagement for ww2 and 1914 for WW1 &7 Days to the Rhine for the cold war period ,it only had to be a matter of time before we looked at Clash of Empires for Ancients and Dark Ages .I must admit my wargaming buddy John bought them a while ago for his Romans and Brits but when I read a review stating they could be used for the Dark Ages and medievils I took th plunge and I am glad I did , I got the main rule book and the Age of Ravens supplement for the Dark Ages .
The main Rule book is an hard cover ,full colour book packed with rules ,advanced rules and army lists & scenarios , a full index and list of figure manufacturers ,they are laid out really well with the pages colour coded for each section such as movement and combat they are 192 pages long with the army lists covering Early Imperial Rome ,Germans,British,Caledonian & Dacien.

The Supplement is again hardback ,split into 3 sections Wolves unto the fold ,covering the early Dark ages and Viking raids .The second  section Invasion & Conquest covers the period after 1066 and includes Normans the last section The Battle for Spain covers  the wars of El Cid . They also produce supplement books for the greek wars and the crusades .
