WW2 Wargames: The Battle of the Bulge

Warlord Games Black Powder Epic Battles: Waterloo — It Looks Amazing

Ever since I read Bernard Cornwell's Waterloo, the crowning achievement of his Sharpe's Rifles series, I have been absolutely fascinated with this battle. There is so much intrigue, so many mistakes, so many genius moves. The Napoleonic Era was truly epic (no pun intended) in its military magnificence. It's almost hard NOT to over-romanticize the…

Awesome North Africa Bolt Action Display Board

Just as I did with my Normandy display board, I had collected so many models that I decided I needed a new place to display them and, despite my protests, my wife wouldn't let me set them up on top of the piano in the living room. So, I decided to build a display board.…

An Interview with Troy from Sonic Sledgehammer
