Vikings Campaign Update

Hi all!
Well last Wednesday I ran a game of Sword and Spear for three club members. The scenario was a pitched battle between the invading Danish Vikings and the defending troops from Wessex.

Here is the results of the first turn of the Campaign. The year 840.

The Norwegian Vikings invaded and defeated the Scottish troops so now Scotland is under Norwegian control. Also with the victory over the troops of Wessex the Danish Vikings claim title to the lands of Wessex.

 Here is an updated map with flags that I could find that are close to historically correct. so in the year 845 the Danish Vikings will attack West Frankia while West Frankia attacks East Frankia. This could be a very interesting turn for the Frankish Empire.  It means I have to get painting!!! more Franks!!!

Below are some pictures of the game. The game went well and after a few turns everyone was into the rules and I did not have to guide the play much. It was a good battle, very close run game for the Vikings, who were able to win but they almost lost the game.

Some 3mm Tanks and APC's

Hi all,

Well I have been busy working on these 3mm tanks and APC's for a modern wargame between the Swedish Army and the Russian Army. 

Here is what I have painted up so far!

Here are the Swedish Tanks, Strv-122's arranged in a Company formation.

Here are the Swedish IFV's (I still need to paint up the infantry) CV-9040. Also in a Company formation.

Here is a Russian T-90 Company.

Here are the Russian APC's they are BTR-80's, I also need to paint and base the infantry for these vehicles. Next up after the Infantry is Helicopter and Ground Attack Aircraft.

More to come in the future.
