A flask of Tea, a cup of Dice, and Thou.....
Back from Madiera (never managed to trek up to the castle; the knees complained too much), reading the "Infamy, Infamy" ruleset, and with the help of a promised guided tour of the Blockouse I may have rustled up some Pressed Men (if not volunteers) to help in a wargaming experiment to test out some expanded WW2 solo ideas for jungley action.
Tempt them in with promises of "Heroquest", then pounce is the plan...
Watch this space.
In other news: an interesting post seen today on the Kabinettskrieg Blog:

The Blog:
I think I've mentioned before that one of the things I find interesting about the Blog stats is those countries from whence the Blog gets hits (and, to a lesser extent, those nations noticeable by their absence).
Western and central Europe, plus North America, seem to provide the bulk of my "audience" (though there is scanty interest from Scandinavia or the Mediterranean countries). Australia and Indonesia get a look in (but VERY rarely New Zealand). Occasionally Russia. Rarely "the Baltics" or the Balkans. Occasionally some of the "Stans", especially Pakistan, and India. Once in a blue moon Japan and China.
Africa (apart from South Africa), the Arab world and South America are largely, if unsurprisingly, absent.
Lately I seems to be getting hits from Iran; which as someone with many happy memories (work and travel) of the people and places there is nice. These could (as hits from some other places) be Bot hits, but if not I'd love to know what has led folk to my maunderings...
I DO welcome all comments and queries - or ideas for projects. It lets me know, at least, that folk are listening.
I WAS going to post a couple of pics here today, but Blogger is up to its tricks again. Perhaps they are doing another "one step forwards, two steps back" alleged (and unasked for) "improvement", like the most recent one which messed up image posting... Ho, hum...
The Plans:
Plans for the upcoming months are the WW2 experiment mentioned above, a possible "Mystery" team game if that works, some RPG, some solo or semi-solo NWF action and a totally solo "Fill In The Map" exploring exercise.
Onwards & upwards...
