Dane of Power SAGA campaign battle result #3

Bewitched

An old-school ruleset played for the first time by a middle-aged gamer. Yep, that's me. And it was 15mm too! What is going on? Some unforeseen reaction to recent SAGA overload? Yet Another 'new' system to be added to the list that never should be? Maybe Jimboba at Warchest, high in his Mage Tower, had finally conjured a spell of '15mm Avidity' on me? Whatever the reason, I've at long last ticked off Hoards of the Things from my wargaming roll.

A Wartime experience

Today, I mostly played Second World War tanks and First World War fighters under the wing of a Concorde.

Fun with bricks

I've been trying my hand at bricklaying recently. I got so carried away that I built a Wizard's Tower and now a Roman Temple is under construction. It's hard work, this brick-work malarkey!
