It's the kiddo's first birthday tomorrow. One *might* be a bit too young for Epic but we're putting together a time capsule for him that he'll open on his eleventh birthday. That seems just about right to start playing, given my experience, so we'll see how he likes this Land Raider then.



Red's a fairly common chapter scheme, so I left iconography off it for now. I was going to do Genesis Chapter but this way he'll have a few more choices.

Great idea. Lovely colours on this - very satisfying.

Agreed, very satisfying, and like the way youve done the lights on the front, not seen the area above those little front hatches picked out that way before

Thanks guys.

I'd like to eventually play Lasalle with these TravelBattle French but there's not quite enough there for a standard game. Between that and painting an opposing force I thought I'd remove one obstacle by laser cutting some sabots to use with Blücher.



Two Lasalle stands per Blücher base will make for a decent sized force, now all I have to do is paint an oppsing force.



The bases are the "global standard" 1.75"×1.25". Odd, but it allows me to stick some mini card sleeves underneath to keep track of the units and their abilities during the game. Additionally, a BW of 1.75" means my 30"×40" printed mat is the perfect size for a game.

why did you have to post this now … i've been trying to suppress a resurgence of napoleonic urges this last week (having just watched some reviews of the free valour & fortitude rules), then just found my Blücher chits last night while unpacking some epic bits. Looking good though!

There's a secret forum where we plan out taking turns at tempting your wargaming proclivities. It was my turn this week.

if that were true it really would explain an awful lot about my hobby-butterfly life … that you for keeping me entertained but noncommittal, mysterious internet hobby cabal

I finally finished the horses for my 15mm Polybian Roman allied cavalry this week. I still need to do the shields for them, but that's going to involve a conversion as I don't have enough of the two types to split them how I like for easy unit identifcation.

I played Crossfire nearly twenty years ago at ConnectiCon '05 and picked up the rulebooks shortly after. They've sat on my shelf since then, until earlier this year when I cracked them open after re-watching some Little Wars TV. Since I had the Americans painted I thought I'd try some sabot bases like I did for my ancients in order to double dip them with Crossfire.



I still need to flock everything. Maybe one of these days I'll put my order in to Scenic Express and get the flocks I'm after to match my mat. In the meantime though they might see some action at our monthly games day in a Crossfire trial with Karl, Destroyer of Breadsticks.
