Airfix 1/32 Scale Spanish Civil War Nationalists
1/32 scale Airfix plastic Japanese infantry.
The conversions by a friend of mine Alberto Beneítez.
Really clever and inspirational conversions Alberto, looking forward to seeing these painted up soon.
Oh, and finally an Airfix British commando who's been transformed into a Spanish Civil War Republican.

Armourfast StuG III
We got together on Wednesday evening with our wargame group "El Brazo de Nelson" for a quick game and we got to use for the first time these two Armourfast 1/72 scale quick-build StuG IIIs that were built and painted by Carlos de la Concha.
Lovely models, unfortunately they were under my command and with my notoriously bad dice throwing skills they couldn't hit a barn door during the whole of the game.

1/72 Scale WW2 History Book - When The Time Comes by Mark Thomas
Mark's book is now finished and he's informed me that he'll be making it available to interested parties on a CD-Rom for USD 9.95 + postage which can be purchased directly by contacting him on the following email : cbeta@q.com
You can read some sample excerpts and see some sample pictures his book as posted by another veteran 1/72 scale gamer and modeler, David Reasoner, on the Command Decision Test of Battle Forum on the following links:
So, good luck with the book Mark and hopefully if this one is a success for you, we can look forward to seeing a second publication from you next year maybe ?

Napoleonic Skirmish in 1/72 - A Song of Drums and Shakos
On Saturday our friend RoH came to see us and organized a skirmish game with the rules "A song of Drums and Shakos".
The rules are very good, and they have a system of activations and changes of turn that are quite easy to follow. We played two rapid games in less than four hours.
A dozen British (some Scottish and English) used to take a hill defended by a handful of French.

HaT El Cid Almoravid Infantry
Our mate RobH came over on Saturday and he treated us to an excellent game using Impetus ruleset with his collection of Samurai in 15mm.
Apart from putting on a great game, he also brought along some of his painted 1/72 scale HaT Moors that he's based to also use with the same rules, and they are very nice indeed, the pictures of the painted HaT figures speak for themselves.

Guest Gallery - Dave Hall
Some photos I was kindly sent for the blog by Dave Hall from the States.
Hi John
Here a few pictures from my game back in October at the Rio Grande Wars convention in the American Southwest. I play tested a simple scenario for my new rules which are set to come out in the Spring. The figures are plastic, mostly ESCI, Italeri and Orion. Please ignore the Panzerfausts. Those units were used as light machine gun teams.
Thanks

Albuquerque
Here are a few recognizable Hasegawa trucks, a Starter Toyota GB and a Fuel Isuzu TX-40.
There were pretty simple conversions. I used Evergreen Scale Models, Sheet Styrene with 2.0mm spacing V-Groove for the truck beds.
The Toyota is the smaller of the two vehicles. Each could be said to hold a squad of infantry. The Isuzu's canvas cover is a modified one from a Pegasus American 6 Ton. I just cut the back end off to fit the length of the bed. Both are pretty easy kits, but I would probably stick with the Isuzu as a primary truck transport.
For any experts on Japanese trucks, the beds are a little rudimentary in design but there are few pictures out on the internet to work off of and I opted for the wargamer's choice!
Keeping it simple
Cheers!

WW2 US & Japanese Pacific Wargame Units by Dave Hall (USA)
I was sent these photos to add to the blog by Dave Hall from the States.
Dave based these troops for his own rules, which he will be publishing in a book he's writing on World War Two in the very near future.
The shots are of a platoon of US Marines, both ESCI and Revell, while the Japanese are from Waterloo 1815 and ESCI.
