At the request of a Combat Patrol(TM) gamer, I just posted a short supplement to the rules’ Web page that provides the Rosetta Stone to convert the generic Skirmish Campaigns ratings to the attributes for figures in Combat Patrol(TM). Enjoy!

This was a big gaming / hobby weekend. Tom is at West Point, and my wife was visiting my daughter at her school for the weekend, so I was a geographic bachelor. The weekend began on Friday with our normal HAWKs meeting. This week we only ran one, large game, instead of the more typical […]

For instance, several of these periods require rules for close formations and cavalry. To help […]

This weekend, I knocked out a few odds and ends. This is the Reaper Bones I Kickstarter clockwork dragon. Honesty, this one piece was the reason I bought into Bones I in the first place. I finally got around to priming and painting this piece over the weekend. I’m pretty happy with how it turned […]

I completed the second battalion of CAV vehicles, this time a battalion of light tanks. I tried a lighter camouflage scheme on this battalion. As I mentioned in my previous post, my intent is that each battalion will have a different camouflage pattern to make it easier for players to keep their battalions separated on […]
