Post-Enfilade part 4

Here is some more info about Ian Croxall's marvelous WSS games at Enfilade:

Blenheim 2004

Pics and maps of the first of these mega-games at Enfilade in 2004 (and replayed at Enfilade 2005 I believe).


Ramilles 2006

More pics and maps for the most recent battle.

Please note: by the looks of it, Ian is planning a Malplaquet game for 2008!


And a link for Enfilade

The plan

I think that I have finally come up with a plan for my gaming habit. As you might know, the budget has been shut down for the near future, but that is not going to stop me from trying to make some sense out of my desires for tabletop gaming. So, here is what I have come up with so far:

1. Finish off the Tau - painting only, no purchases.

2. Warlord - kind of on hold for now; I have plenty to assemble and paint, but I need to get my soon-to-be wife more involved (yes, she wants to do this project together).

3. Renaissance - early 16th century Italian wars. This one will be done with 28mm figures, singly mounted as per Warhammer Ancients. This will allow me to also play against my son and his Warhammer fantasy army.

4. Now for the hard part. I have all sorts of ideas for gaming after the above, but the scale for the figures is not set down yet. I am going to buy small amounts of figures in several different scales: 6mm; 10mm; 1/72 (among others). Then I will see how it goes from there. Ease of painting, figure availability, storage, etc. will be factored in. I do want to set ONE scale for the rest of my projects.

Now I just need to keep digging for info on figures, rules, terrain, etc. until the budget goes into the black again...

Now I've gone and done it!

When I started this blog, I promised my significant other that I would keep it to the topic of games. But, this entry is not because something important is about to happen...




Yep, we're getting married!

It is going to be a simple ceremony on November 10.
