This week there is only one video (see below for why) and slight change from my normal stuff, this is a video about painting figures for Zona Alfa (but could be used for moderns as well!). My friend has been banging on a lot about Zona Alfa recently, so I thought I'd shut him up and paint a handful of figures for it! It also ...

Recently on Twitter there was a discussion led by Nick of the Too Fat Lardies about how wargames and boardgames can interact. I've written a little bit on this here on Patreon, but I'm going to expand on an idea that myself and my mate were also talking ...

This week has been a bit manic. Normally my Patreons get first sight on videos but with O Group being released and making a couple of AAR videos quickly meant I had to forgo this. However, next week will be back on track. Another event also upset the weekly schedule, I found out I've been nominated in two categories for the L...

In the previous post we looked at what modern board gaming can teach us wargamers in mixing up our games a little. Playing co-operative games w...
2020-12-14 08:43:53 +0000 UTC View PostAs well as I wargamer, I play a lot of board games. I don't mean the traditional hex and counter type of military themed games that are sometimes called wargames, but the modern style board games that have seen a massive rise in the last decade or so. One of the earliest and probably best known of this new style of game was <...
2020-12-01 10:40:06 +0000 UTC View PostIn the previous post, I wrote about how to kill the boredom of lockdown during this pandemic, one of the main aspects of this I missed was the massive rise we have seen in digital gaming. I'm not talking here about computer or console games (which ...
2020-11-23 17:26:34 +0000 UTC View PostI thought I would start putting down some thoughts on wargaming in general here on Patreon. It will be things that don't really fit on my blog (www.stormofsteelwargaming.com) or my Youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC...
