Oh no! A month without a post. Life just sort of got ahead of me - summer is always very busy. I’ve been doing some hobby stuff - printing and painting Solar Aux themed around the Imperial Russian army of WW1. I doubt I’ll ever play third ed HH - the community for it died with the new edition here - but at this stage in my hobby life gaming is a secondary concern - I paint and hobby what I feel like doing and even if it never gets used it’ll look cool in my display cases.

I did get out to play a game of FoW V4 - SS VS Americans. This was my first try at piloting SS in V4 - the baddies got what they deserved (attacking dug in Americans is tough - my “pfft minefields are no big deal just charge through them” may have had something to do with it). I was too focused on playing to construct a proper bat rep but I did grab at least a single picture (I may add more later if I can get them edited)

SSvsAmis

I’ll try to grab some pictures of my Solar Aux once I get the bases done. I dont know if I will do a full 3000 pt HH army - just a few units a few vehicles is good enough for now. They would be usable in 3rd ed 40k too as a stormtrooper list….hmmmm…..

Next up after the SA itch dies is ????. I kind of have the urge to do some First/second coalition Napoleonic French in 15mm though I have absolutely no ruleset to use (I have disliked or actively hated every Napoleonic ruleset I have ever looked at). My next read is going to be John A Lynn’s classic Bayonets of the Republic so I am sure that will get me jazzed for the period. I can always just do up a few stands in DBX basing and put em in the case. This freedom to hobby whatever detached from any game system is a nice positive to the irregularity of gaming as a busy parent.

Thats all for now - as summer creeps into fall hopefully more time will become free.
