Exceptionally heavy breathing
Specifically for timing the students at school in stretcher bearers races I have bought a period stop watch. It is definitely for this and not for @leeparnell.bsky.social and i to recreate scenes from hunt for Red October and me to bark ‘10 SECOND FROM TURN. 15! TWENTY. WE ARE A BOAT LENGTH OUT’
24th May 1915. Italy enters the war. 'The mother of all gambles' see's Italy fighting in absolutely baffling conditions of blistering heat, meters deep snow, glaciers, mountains, malarial flat lands and 3 kilometers up.
Onori.
More Italy stuff just finished. Decided to hand paint some racing hoardings and man… what I wouldn’t give for a scale ‘Wargame’ which was basically a 1930s to 1960s racing game.
Cleared out the barn nests today after the week long observation period to make sure they were fully derelict. This is in prep for the barn coming down. Nests are all Robin and used by Wrens as well. Made with wargames supplies and terrain. Ingenious little things!
Nest boxes going up on new barn!

In preparation for our big OPERATION: GRAPESHOT game in august, I’ve been painting terrain like a madman for a dense town board. Here’s one of the Piazzi!
Lots more buildings to come that hopefully fills the board with Chaos.

Take a bow you brilliant bastard. 1000/10 no notes.

Had a blister of old jeeps laying around the barn and thought I’d paint em up. Some little flags for Popski’s on the front and they have come out smart!

New map from Nicholas Geering telling the story of Xenophons expedition. An incredible tale of fortitude, determination and courage while surrounded in the harshest of environments.

From 2024's D-Day Game. 25 players got together on the anniversary to recreate a small part of the action of #DDay
Wargaming is a big part of the military history story, so to have so many like minded enthusiasts together was smashing.
Have a peaceful DDay Anniversary.
