The Walking Dead – All out War Scenery Booster
Following the miniature games review, this is an unboxing and review of the scenery booster, that looks very promising and versatile.
Games Workshop on the rise?
Most of you probably noticed the drastic change at Games Workshop in the last few month and it seems that their pace in this "conversion" is quite fast.
Still many people are irritated by the transition of Warhammer Fantasy into Age of Sigmar. You have any reason to be, if you're looking for mass combat with large regiments, Age of Sigmar won't be your choice. But remember what is one of the biggest problems in our hobby. The high barrier of entry. And this high barrier is a reason for many other systems to not succeed.
GaleForce9 – Battlefield in a Box
Gale Force 9 offers beside a few board games and hobby accessoires a terrain range of their own, named Battlefield in a Box. These come in several different settings, like Fantasy, Generic or specific for Flames of War in 15mm. But are you limited to use those in 15mm? Not really, and I'm going to prove my point.
Main problem about these sets is the availability. In Germany / Europe they can be fierce to get your hands on, but some time ago - while they were in stock - I got my hands a few sets from the BiaB Flames of War Range.
Let us begin with the rural roads. The set sets you back 45 USD and covers 4 straights and 2 curves, along with a small bag of static grass.
Tabletop Wargames – A Designers’ & Writers’ Handbook
Tabletop Wargames - A Designers' & Writers' Handbook by Rick Priestley and Dr. John Lambshead is a recent release at Pen & Sword, and I am happy to cover it in this review.
MUPAC – Museum of Prehistory and Archaeology of Cantabria
The MUPAC, the Museo de Prehistoria y Arqueología de Cantabria (Museum of Prehistory and Archaeology of Cantabria) was a must-visit for my while in Santander.
Inspiration from northern Spain
I'm just back from my vacation in northern Spain. I visited Cantabria, Asturias and the Basque Country. Usually the trips to Spain are family related and for recovery, but this time I added a bit of cultural sight seeing.
Miniaturwunderland Hamburg 2016 Part 2
The next area - very large and impressive - is a whole airport. And they invested a lot of time for details. As a proper airport, it had a display on landing and departing flights, and even a special visitor from far away.
Miniatur Wunderland Hamburg 2016 Part 1
Making the most out of the long tour into northern Germany, we combined a visit to the Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg to Stahl auf der Heide. It is the largest model railway attraction in the world, in the heart of the Speicherstadt.
Where to start? The red brick buildings of the Speicherstadt are unmistakably, and with large golden letters the Miniatur Wunderland (miniature wonderland) can be seen from afar.
Stahl auf der Heide 2016 – Part 2
After the first presentation, the armoured vehicles were lined up back in starting position.
Being so close to a tank, able to take a look or to touch them, appealed to a lot of people. So the big cats were crowded.
Stahl auf der Heide 2016 – Part 1
On September 4th it was time for "Stahl auf der Heide" (Steel on the heath) in Munster, Lower Saxony at the German Tank Museum.
On this Open Day the museum raises the interaction with the exhibits. A selection of roadworthy vehicles is presented during a one hour show, and a lot of the shown tanks are available for climbing and getting yourself into the driver's seat.
