Another Roman General of the North

I was so impressed by the Cardinal's recent contribution of his painted 1st Corps General of the North (aka Russell Crowe) that I decided to paint one of my own. I have substituted a Mark Fenlon horse for the 1st Corps horse and a much more active BIG dog for the more sedate 1st Corps dog - thanks to the Cardinal with whom I did a dog swap. The end result you can judge for yourself.

Doing Business at the Depot

A nice little scene from anywhere in the US during the mid C19th. The figures are Redoubt the wagon is a pencil sharpener (truly!) that I have converted.

'BLOODY APRIL' - WW1 DOGFIGHTING

Yesterday the Goulburn Valiant Stormers played 'Bloody April' WW1 dog fighting using rules Matt is putting together for convention participation games. We ended up playing five games during which there was much courageous 'flying', cunning maneuvers and daring deeds displayed as well as several players notching up some glorious victories. My AEF Neiuport ended up shooting down three Huns and living to brag about it! The rules worked well and Matt learned a lot from the games that will help him run the game at conventions when the time comes to do so. All the planes were 1/72 scale models from Matt's collection. Here are some photos from the day.
