Other People's Swords, Sorcery & Squares (PW Fantasy)

Martin Smith has very kindly sent me some pictures of his recent game using my Swords, Sorcery & Squares rules (the PW variant that appears in Bob Cordery's Portable Wargame Compendium)! Martin also provided me with loads of feedback which has provided a lot of food for thought.
The game report appears on Facebook so any reader that has access to FB could track it down on either the "15mm War Gaming and Painting" account or the Portable Wargaming account.
Looks like it was a fantastic game Martin.

Of Wights and Wraiths

 No games to record I'm afraid, though a little purchasing has been afoot. 

I'm very happy to report that I made a small purchase from Broadsword Miniatures and very nice figures they are too. By the time that Hinchliffe released the fantasy range that Mike McGuinness has resurrected (1980), I had stopped Wargaming (having discovered beer and girls). Consequently these are new to me and the "new toys" level of excitement is up at 11 of 10.

I've even painted one of them already! (Apologies for the brush work) - only a couple of colours necessary...

FA28 Follower of Evil (Wraith)

And here he (it?) is in comparison with the Minifigs Barrow Wight (ME42) and Ghoul (SS38) from the 1970s.



 Hopefully more to report in the near future.
