Belated GottaCon Report

Posted on February 14, 2012 by Brian Burger

Never did write that post-GottaCon post, did I? Ran a very good game of .45 Adventures, lots of dinosaurs and mayhem. Four cars started the Jurassic Pulp race from the wrecked camp, and by the time they’d reached the safety … Continue reading →

A quick pair of photos of the small Russian church I’m building for Russian Civil War gaming in 28mm. Earlier in January I discussed some planning and thoughts I had for a wargame-scale small church, and while it isn’t going … Continue reading →

Russian Huts Finished

Posted on January 20, 2012 by Brian Burger
