Battlegroup: Clash of Reconnaissance (intro+turn 1)
This scenario is in the Battlegroup Kursk book, and is geared towards a demo/learning game of Battlegroup. It’s a Squad sized game, so relatively quick. This is played in 15mm, on a 4×6 table.

Unboxing: Battlefront Miniatures Black Horse Armored Cavalry Troop
I have a soft spot for Battlefront’s Vietnam line of 15mm miniatures. They were amongst my first painted man dollies. Then there was a unfortunate incident involving a dumpster and a nerd who needed to find himself. Fast forward a few years and Flames of War Nam received a reboot. When this happened the air cavalry and Black Horse armored cavalry boxes immediately caught my … Continue reading Unboxing: Battlefront Miniatures Black Horse Armored Cavalry Troop
