Yes We Can Now Reach Forbodia!

With the recent arrival of 4 massive transports for the Brazos Imperial Airborne

the Imperial General Staff have moved up it's plans for the conquest and complete subjugation of the

the tiny but extremely well dressed Balkan nation of Forbodia, this will of course be made easier by

the Forbodian lack of any kind of an air force at all, furthermore their matchstick firring cannon are completely ineffective against anything but the random flight stand and then only when shooting at something else entirely....this should be a cake walk!

There are a few places in New Zealand that we need to look into as well, just waiting on a GPS upgrade....)

Happy 1st of April one and all..................

A note on these two C130s...very nice snap tight kits in 1/144th scale that are put out by

the Smithsonian Institution under the name of EZ-Build, they can be found on the net

easily!

Thought experiment - National Re-armament Program

Here’s an interesting little project that I thought might give people a chance to exercise their creative skills and pass some time this summer. Here is the premise:

It is the end of 1935. Germany is rearming; Japanese forces are in China; Italy has occupied Ethiopia. You are tasked by a major company in the armaments industy to provide workable designs for a series of weapons systems to meet a future national requirement for your nation’s armed forces. These are to include a light or medium tank/tank destroyer, a multipurpose armoured utility vehicle/recce vehicle, a fighter/fighter bomber, a tactical or strategic bomber aircraft.

Battle Of Britain (Scale Request)

Paul requested a scale comparison, so here are the metal planes along side the plastic 1/144th scale

Battle Of Britain

Here are two Messerschmitt 110s, A Stuka, and three ME109s,
these are all metal castings in 1/144th scale that were made in
the late 90s for a Battle Of Britain  game, I also have three Spitfires
and 3 Hurricanes (as of yet unpainted) I can not recall the
manufacturer and only wish I had picked up more back then
as these are great castings.

PREPARING FOR A WARGAME

( WITH THE HELP OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE )

In peace there’s nothing so becomes a wargamer

as modest stillness and humility;

But when the blast of war blows in our ears,

then imitate the action of the tiger;

Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,

disguise fair nature with hard favour’d rage.

Then lend the eye a terrible aspect,

let it pry through the portage of the head

like a brass cannon; let the brow o’whelm it

as fearfully as does a galled rock.

Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide;

hold hard the breath, and bend up every spirit

to his full height. On, on, you noble wargamer

whose blood is that of fathers who wrote the rules !

Fathers who, like so many Alexanders,

have at these Conventions from morn ‘till even fought,

and pocketed their dice for lack of argument.

Dishonour not your mothers, for did they not sit

whilst those whom you call fathers painted their armies ?

Feel superior to players with troops in other scales,

and teach them how to wargame. And you, good players,

whose hands were made for wargaming, show us here

the mettle of your army; let us swear

that they are worthy of your painting, which I doubt not;

For there are none of them so mean and base

that hath not noble lustre in your eyes.

I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,

straining upon the start. The game’s afoot !

Rattle your dice ! And upon the charge

cry ‘God for Scruby! Featherstone! and HG Wells!’

BF109(s)

A few ME109s from ebay.
