Re: What are you doing during lockdown ?
Not changed a lot, worked from home anyway!
Prepping figures to spray, in between rebuilding my workspace after it was gutted to have new windows put in.
And prepping master casts for my new ranges of figures!

We plan to use WhatsApp for the pictures and videos
Will let you know how it goes

6mm FJ on the Neva IABSM game
I ran this I Ain't Been Shot Mum game with the idea that several friends could have some involvement in a game during the Covid-19 pandemic.? Loads of pics in the flickr set because I was texting the game out to 6 people.? I sent pregame info out to 2 groups of 3.? Team Komrade Kovid as the Russians and Team von Wujan for the Fallshirmjagers.? I sent the unit rosters out to the 2 teams and they decided who would 'run' what.? German defenders on Team von Wujan could place wire and MG bunkers and decide where they wanted units based on the pics I texted.? Russian attackers (Team Kovid) divvied up their units and decided how they would enter the board. At this point it would become more dependent on what I did since I was the card puller and dice roller.? Piccies would be texted out, sometimes to specific teams and sometimes to all players informing them of developments and? asking how they wanted to react.? I then had to interpret that and combined with the normal friction of an IABSM game, their wishes would be less than desirable.? Overall the idea was to connect with friends and have a diversion during these days of social distancing.
This scenario was to depict one of the numerous Russian attacks on the III/Rgt 3 in November 41 on their lines on the Neva River outside Leningrad.

In your Steam library select Tabletop Simulator from the list and
then in the main page there will be a link for "Workshop" which is
Steam's generic name for all mod stuff for games.
Then you can search or browse for different games or models/tools
to put together your own combinations.
Cheers,
Pete

Re the Table Top Simulator on Steam, I just bought a copy, but I
can't see the mod. Where is it please, Phil?
Mike,
Do you have TableTopSimulator(TTS) It's available on
steam , There is a mod on it for CoC an Bolt Action.
The game/s can be saved if life interrupts.
Oh yes, They have a discord channel for it, but of
late, its gone quiet.

As we are all who are over the age of 60 are to be
confined to quarters for
the foreseeable future could someone come up with solo
rule for playing existing?
games such as Pickets Charge, Sharp Practice 2, CoC,
IABSM and any other?
game for that matter. Perhaps a play by eMail campaign
game.
A PBEM game Ona table could be played on a hex mat.
I would prefer a good solo?game because I can play at my
own pace stopping in mid move when I’m?called away to do
a non Wargame related tasks.
What has happened with the group game of Kiegspiel that
was mentioned in is
sue #1 2018 Annual magazine?It seems a computer is
needed to control movement?
and to make casualties etc.

Hi all,
?
As many of us are going to be stuck at home for a while, Osprey are releasing up to 5 free eBooks every week.
?
?
Add the PDF or ePub copy to your basket, and when you get to checkout, just put
FREEBOOKS1 in the coupon field. The cost will be reduced to ?0.
?
I’ve grabbed two for this week, US vs Japan Guadalcanal. And Sasanian Elite Cavalry (I already have the hardcopy of this one, but having it online is very handy).
?
All the best and stay well.
?
