Happy Sunday…I think…not to sure any more…don’t worry I have a mask on while I type so you all are safe.
Recreating one battle…. hmm…. battling crippling hobby fatigue… except the uHH I don’t get anything done at the moment
Got my breakfast ready to roll! May the fun begin!
Really good show. I may have already painted some tartan, Gerry, but not on the miniature you want me to paint tartan on, Gerry, nor will I paint tartan on the yellow cloak, Gerry, so you can go meet my friend, Gwen, Gerry!
Battle of the Boyne. I’ll play King James and Gerry can be King Billy.
Happy Sunday! I not wearing pants!
Happy Sunday!
I’d maybe go for American civil war with the WoFun stuff. The period interests me gaming wise, but not mass painting. For Napoleonics I’m lucky enough to be part of a group with enough 15mm minies between us to recreate most Napoleonic battles in a reasonable scale.
Think with Wofun figs it would be Gettysburg, as always wwanted to do ACW, but project that necer ever got started.
Yorktown for me but maybe more of a world view would be Stalingrad.
Very entertaining show this week guys. Think it could be madness creeping in….
Happy Sunday
Warren’s balls are magnificent.
It’s the XLBS Show. Good Morning CoG’s!
I really enjoy watching the boyz rib each other and laugh the whole time through. Good stuff, bottle that and share it with the world! (might have to put a warning label on the bottle though)
As far as a battle to reproduce…….I would go with the “Battle of Carrhae, 53 BCE”. the Roman’s lost this one but could have won if a few things went differently. I’m on a bit of an early Roman kick here lately so that’s the battle I’d go for. I’ve been looking at some smaller-scale stuff that could have happened around that battle by using ‘Clash of Spears’. I’ve found lots of Victrix minis but I’ve not decided on a source for buying my buildings and temples and such that I want to use for terrain on the tables. Or better yet maybe a source for 3D printable terrain.
My 3D printer has been idle for a couple of weeks as I finished printing two UBoot submarines, one in 28mm like @avernos has and one that I stumbled on which I printed at a larger scale and have set aside for my ‘UBoot Board Game’.
Happy Sunday … Ok the one battle I would love to recreate is Gettysburg and I intend to do this at some point 😁
I admire Lloyds dedication to historical record keeping.
Happy Sunday COGS! The title of today’s show had me laughing really hard! Not sure if they make the mini’s/standees for this but I would love to do the Siege of Malta. Such an epic history effecting battle. Great show boys. Bay Area represent!
HAPPY SUNDAY…….
yay the XLBS.
what about Napoleon’s attack of Moscow ?
Agincourt for me please, showers of arrows, knights charging, terrain/conditions that plays a real part in the outcome, and the classic rivalry of the French against the English. Plus it would be very colourful!
If I could do any battle it would be the true Historical battle where Richard sharp took the French Eagle to restore the honour of a new company that lost the kings colours under the lacking leadership of sir henry simmerson.
I would love to game Jaddovill Congo. The Irish against the Belgins? Check out the Netflix film.
Awesome show. Especially enjoyed the crack around Lloyd’s project!
Battles id pick for each wofun range are
Gettysburg 1863 american civil war
Battle of Issus 333 BC antiquity
The Battle of the Teutoburg Forest roman
Nice choice with Teutoburg Forest. 👍😎
But the question is, do you want to try to duplicate the destruction of three Roman legions and their auxiliaries or try to prevent their destruction?
Both would be fun and interesting,quite like to try and save them.
Yup, that’s what I’d be shooting for! 👍😎
Kursk at scale… so… many.. tanks!
I cannot pin it down to one battle so I settled on four, like @torros.
the Battle of Blenheim, 7YW
the Battle of Naseby, ECW
the Battle of Salamanca, Nappies
and the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, AWI
