CAUSE OF DEATH

Immortal — you cannot kill what was never trying to make money. The blog runs on vibes, Blogspot's free tier, and an unquenchable thirst for refighting Waterloo.

 

TIME UNTIL DEATH

Outlives us all

 

EULOGY

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to NOT bury Comstar's Historical Wargames, because this is a free Blogspot hobby blog written by someone who clearly does this for the pure, unmonetizable love of pushing tiny pewter men across a terrain mat. You cannot disrupt a man who wasn't trying to be a business in the first place. His moat is filled not with water, but with Citadel Shade paint and a lifetime of opinions about whether Gettysburg scenarios are balanced."

LAST WORDS

"I'll stop blogging when they pry my d6s from my cold, dead hands. Also, has anyone seen my 6mm Franco-Prussian War figures? I swear they were in this box."

What Claude Would Say

I could certainly help write about the Battle of Borodino, but I must respectfully note that I have never experienced the quiet joy of a Saturday afternoon hex-and-counter session with old friends. Some things are beyond my capabilities, and I think that's rather beautiful.

The races of Warhammer 40K

The League of Votann is Capitalism written by Capitalists. The Tau are the British Empire as written by the British Empire. Humans are fascists written by fascists (with different versions of authoritarian as each faction). Orks are soccer hooligans written by soccer hooligans (who are all long gone from GW now). Elder are high British Class written by high British classes (which is also why GW doesn't know how to write them). Necron's are the (insane) British Royal Classes as written by the British middle class. Nurgle is an abusive boyfriend. Slanessh is your friend of drugs who you watch destroy their life. Khorne is the angry drunk who comes home and beats his family and then justifies it. Tzzeech is the company owner or CEO where the employees are merely his pawns to play with. 

 

The Tryanids are the environment that will destroy them all through global warming, but that's not a very good story to read if you're one of the other ones, so they just lose a lot.

Ciaphas Cain and the best book GW will never write

I had a thought of a book that will never be written, that would be pure heresy, blasphemes and would destroy the 40K Imperialim, and it's fan base. 

Ciaphas Cain and the tasks of the twelve Primarchs

Amberly has multiple breakdowns in the comments and refuses to believe it happened. Cain 

and Jurgan travel shenanigans through space and time to meet 12 different Primarch's from both pre and post heresy who each give Cain an impossible task(which he of course is able to complete, much like Hercules did)

 

 

The last Primarch is the most surprising.  I get tears in my eyes as I thought of it.

Finally Army Painter gets correct British Army colours

Took them long enough, for a range called ARMY PAINTED that did not have actual army colours.

Unfortunately its not a Speedpaint!

The first documentary on the Peninsula war in 20 years.  A new series on YouTube. It's not a talking head but actually going to show the locations of battlefields and places.

Backing a histroical Kickstarter from Microprose - Task Force Admiral

Task Force Admiral | Limited "First Team" Physical Edition

Only 15 hours to go, so by the time you read this it will be too late. 

When I saw it advertised by Drachinifel I decided I had to get it. And you get an old style physical box!   I wish I could afford the upgrade to the include the book with doctrines.

I think this was the first Microprose game I ever played on an Amiga 1000: I read the manual cover to cover multiple times. SO MUCH INFORMATION.

 

History of Bolt Action | How a Band of Brothers Created the Greatest His...

Australian Enginners and cheap terrain and tanks - Dark Castle Terrain

One of the main reasons I got into Bolt Action is finding a place at Slaves2Gaming that sold figures based on attack on Bardia, as I had a great uncle who was there in the 2/2 Field Park Engineers of the 6th Australian Division.

What they don't have is an "Engineer" unit.Well https://darkcastleterrain.com/ does! 

Mid/Late war engineers, but they would work!

They don't work for 1941 Engineer's, but they represent what they are. Currently my only idea is to put a handcart full of equipment next to the unit.I'd really like some men with shovels, wire cutters and Bangalore torpedo's, but I haven't found anyone like that yet. If I add some riflemen to it and drop the mine detectors I can do a squad easily enough. 

Video including some of the 2/2nd Field Park Company is here and some war diary's here.

They also do resin desert adobe buildings, and their resin  and MDF tanks, terrain and building are cheaper than I can find anywhere else. You have to wait 10 days for it to be made, but I would not mind the wait. 

I will need to get some!
