Wargame Rules

BLOG BACKGROUND AND WARGAME RULES
I have set up this blog for my wargaming interests in the Muscovite-Tartar Wars, Reconquista Wars, the Barbary Coast Pirates, and the early campaigns of the Ottoman Turks and Saracens. Some lesser known crusades will also be covered. Miniatures are mainly 28mm with a growing collection in 54mm. If my photographs serve to encourage others to complete their collections I shall be pleased. I will also be mentioning other sites with interesting collections on the above. Do join the 'Friends' if you like what you see.

I prefer to use my own rules which are kept simple and involve eight-sided dice. These allow for fast results with various types of weaponry. Morale dominates my games.

RUSSIAN NAVY SLOOP c.1700

I put this model together quite a few years ago, but it always needed revamping. New additions are four fixed artillery pieces. an improved deck layout, a ship's wheel, and a lot of brighter paintwork. While I love the idea of naval participation, I've no ambitions for owning larger 28mm ships, I'm not convinced a broadside from thirtyfive guns on a Frigate would enhance any wargame, but I can see some problems in storing the model, lol. But I might still add a couple more cannon to this vessel. Well, its time my Muscovites engaged the Ottoman/Tartar alliance. MGB

      Thank you Stuart, I quite like working with plastic-card. And old paintbrushes make great masts.
