Showcase: Evan’s Winter American Force
Well, after the better part of a year slogging on it, the majority of my US winter force is complete. We used it in our games at Adepticon 2025, and now that that’s done and gone I had some time to take some nice pictures. Winter armies are always a little niche, as they end up more limiting than more generically based armies. Luckily for … Continue reading Showcase: Evan’s Winter American Force
Drew’s Adepticon – Part 1
As always it was fun seeing old friends, new friends and having some great conversations and laughs with gamers from all over. Our club Iron Dice Gaming hosted three games using my Battle of the Bulge board where we refought one of the early battle of Senonchamps during Battle of the Bulge.

Reviving an Old Mule Part Three: The Rolling Stock
Now that we have the engine sorted it’s time for the rolling stock. Like the pannier engine I had two goods wagons, a flatcar, and a liquid tank car primed and sitting in the pile of shame for a few years. It was high time to change that. Continue reading Reviving an Old Mule Part Three: The Rolling Stock
The IDG Gang Goes to Adepticon
The week of Adepticon is upon us! Drew, Evan, Anthony, Teddy, and I have been making our final preparations for the four events we are running. I heard Teddy has coins in his pockets and if you tickle him they will fall out. Continue reading The IDG Gang Goes to Adepticon

As 2024 begins (or more accurately continues, as I am still writing this in late January Mid-February) I start to wonder what kind of projects await for me in the new year. Continue reading 2024 Hobby Goals
