Battle Game of the Month

EXCERPT FROM APPENDIX 1 from Don Featherstone's Battles With Model Soldiers

(The book that got me started.)

"Nothing in these pages is a dictate, no word says you must or you shall do it this way. On the contrary, the book sets out from the very beginning to stimulate the reader to think for himself, and to use what he has read merely as a foundation for efforts and ideas which reflect his own temperament and character. Only in this way will he obtain maximum satisfaction from the hobby of battling with model soldiers."

-Don Featherstone 1918 - 2013

Halfway Home

A quick snap of an impromptu replay on Sunday.

A bit over 500 km after the con yesterday, a bit less to home tomorrow. Today is a rest and family day.

I wish I could promise a full, heavily illustrated report once I get home but I'm afraid that for 3 days I was so busy either playing, GM'ing, talking with friends and generally enjoying myself, that pictures were few and memory a bit blurry but I'll share what I've got!

Overlooking the Saint John River and my "halfway house".
