Welcome / Bienvenu

This blog drags together, into one swirling maelstrom of crackling energy, my various wargames interests. There are links on the top right to my other blogs, each more calmly dedicated to one particular gaming universe.

I post on Fridays. The idea is that when I post a painted figure, it stays up for two weeks; a battle report, a terrain project, or a few lines on whatever happens to be the whim of the moment, is up for a week.

The pages at the top of the blog contain historical information on the periods that interest me. They are primarily an aid to my poor memory, and not meant to be in any way exhaustive, nor necessarily correct.

I hope this blog offers you much enjoyment and some inspiration !

Solo Wargaming Program

i.  The War of Sinkiang 1921-  (Setting the East Ablaze)
Yang Zengxin having opened up the way to Turfan, and reinforced it, the second phase has come to an end.

The Armée de Dieu will therefore be convinced by Yang Zengxin to head along the north road.  Update all the leaders objectives (libellé "Armées") to take into account these recent events.

Write the next scenario (which will be obvious once the different objectives are laid out).

 

ii.  Five Parsecs from Home (Flying Lead on the 5PFH Campaign System)

Play Campaign Turn 1.
 
 
iii.  The World of Hyboria (Conan)
Play the sixth and penultimate scenario of the Veiled One, with Zoé & Agathe
Write the seventh and ultimate scenario of the Veiled One, which will see the heroes on the battlefield of the Shamla Pass (deploying my "Battlelore Mythology" units for an epic feel), trying to reach Natohk so as to use on him the Mitra artefacts they found under his temple.

Concomitant to this set of adventures, Write and play the first scenario of The Curse of Ula Aethel.  Nuala is trying to repair the damage done at Ula Aethel, with the help of other members of the Fellowship of Light (I'm thinking Nuala and animal allies, Brude); whilst the Mad Emperor Strabon is leaning dangerously close to Stthag, see the entry on Ula Aethel for this.  I'll doubtless play this solo, as the girls would like to change setting; for them a jungle setting in the Black Kingdoms would be cool, especially if I can get Agathe involved in making the scenery with me  : )
 
Play the eighth scenario of In the Palm of the White Hand
The final (ninth) scenario is the ritual itself, in presence of the Hyperborean Witchman, the Emissary (if she survived) and the three remaining brothers.  If the demon is successfully summoned, they will use it to cow the other Emirs of the north, which will eventually secede, as a Hyperborean puppet.  The elder brother, placed on the throne, will also become a possible candidate for Sultan...
Should the attempt fail, on the contrary, Chimene can now count on Turanian help.  See what follows.
 
Then :
The adventure in the Northlands has drawn to a close with Rudraige's death, but it has brought Gawayn and Eadric together.  This is important as, with Rudraige dead with no heir, his House is in turmoil.  This is of great consequence as it is a pillar of support to all anti-Hyperborean resistance in the north (the Watch, the "hunting trips", financial assistance to the Aifreweia...).
Gawayn makes a (well intentioned, and at the time reasonable) bid for leadership of Rudraige's House.  It is at this point that Chimène returns from the East and announces that she and Rudraige were secretly married at the Aifreweia (which Rashar, the Abbot of the Aifreweia confirms).  Her intentions are also pure, as carrying on his legacy is exactly what Rudraige asked her to do, and furthermore she is expecting his child.  However Gawayn refuses to back down, causing strife which the Brythunian's enemies gleefully exploit.  Chimène's success would also bring help from Turan (via Zoraya) into the northern alliance, which is no small affair.
 
As inspiration comes, add to the list of "places of interest"


iv.  The Tungan Uprising 1865-1878 (Désastres Coloniaux)
Playtest Désastres Coloniaux, as all the material is now ready.  Also improve the blog with photos and more army lists


v.  Red Barricades 1942 (Advanced Squad Leader)
Prepare Day 3
Play Day 3



vi.  Pyrrhus (Banner War)
The last battle of Winter Turn -277 has been readied to play, right up to the army lists.  An Epirote victory in Lucania might seal them the campaign itself...

vii.  Five Leagues from the Borderland
In the world of the Jungle Deep.  Currently playing "The Vale", campaign turn 6.
