WIP- 1683- The Ottoman Camps.

 The 'objective markers' for my Vienna game are coming along nicely. I settled on four different objectives that will be across various points of the table.  It's probably going to be a 12'x6' .

The Allies will each have a specific objective- and the Ottoman task is to stop them!

The four objectives:

1) The Vizier's tent        (The Polish objective)
2) The Grand Battery    (The Bavarian Objective)
3) The Foundry             (The Imperial/Austrian Objective)
4) The Wagon Park.      (The Saxon Objective)

Now this is fairly arbitrary but what it means is that each contingent can 'win' even if the allied relief force fails overall, that is, if the Turks stop them. The Vizier's tent will be the decider in the event that each side holds two objectives each.

Now I just have to paint up the last of the Saxon and Bavarian Dragoons.

Objective 2: The Grand Battery

Objective 1: The Grand Vizier's Tent- The Turkenschanze!

Warhammer 40K

 My son wanted a game- he is creating something called a 'Death Guard'. I asked if that was some sort of sacrificial Roman unit- he told me that dad jokes weren't permitted.

So as was perfectly rational to this type of discussion, I set up a table that resembled ancient Egyptian ruins.

The table with my Tyranids to the left- his 'Death Guard' to the right. they have a big tank!

Cheriton 1644

 Richard has a collection of 10mm ECW which I find so inspirational every time I see them out on the table. The chance for a game was too good to pass up and he had chosen the battle of Cheriton in 1644.

Richard's 10mm - Parliament Foote.
The big bases with the large numbers of figures look sensational to me!

WIP - Project 1683- Ottomans

 Working away steadily on my big game for the end of the year - or maybe earlier (it would be nice to get it ready for the 342nd anniversary in September). I plan to have a small section of the walls of Vienna with a rather large gun battery facing it- and making the battery one of the objectives for the allied army; probably the Imperials and Bavarians. The Poles will be aiming for Kara Mustafa's tent and the Saxons and other Imperials will be aiming for the wagon park and supply area.
