Time and tide and buttered eggs wait for no man.

This is a fun gallery of pics from the training game I ran at @WargamesIll to teach What A Tanker, before we played on the early version of the Montcornet Table

[COPP Survey @copp_survey]

This is great to see. The secrecy that surrounded COPP meant that for many years their presence at Għajn Tuffieħa in Malta was largely forgotten. Now there's a permanent reminder thanks to the work of the Malta Command Living History group.👍

I don't have an April Fool this year, because instead I have this. Found in the IWM Archive last week in the collections of one of the planning staff in the preparation for D-Day. Yes, it is real.

Should I reveal the rest of it?

@Sabotag3dPrint @Joe_Wargamer Is that a euphemism?

@Joe_Wargamer Inspirational stuff, as usual!

For every retweet of this post, I will donate £1 to the @VC_and_GC_Assoc up to £50,000.
Time is running out following @I_W_M’s decision to close the Lord Ashcroft Gallery.
Visit while you still can, to honour the bravery of those who risked so much to protect our great nation.

@tomjmegan Thanks Tom. The 28mm are Warlord. Bashing through a ton of 28mm armour at the mo. I tend to do a lot of prepping/spraying in the good weather so I have stuff to do when it inevitably rains.

[Joe @Joe_Wargamer]

If you're coming to #salute52 tomorrow, pop along to GM12 in the Lard Zone, and play What A Tanker on a 15ft Caen 44 table!

[Nick @Dozibugger]

I have no idea where the @TooFatLardies stand is at #Salute tomorrow, but if you find us then rest assured you are in friendly territory, for this, my wargaming friends, is the Lard Zone. Stay. Chat. Play. Enjoy. #spreadthelard .

[Joe @Joe_Wargamer]

Hougoumont is done! Built for @tomjmegan , it's a 15mm @SarissaPrec kit. Article will be in @wssmagazine at some point in the near future

[Sabotag3d @Sabotag3dPrint]

I'm still being quite lazy, but you can make me busy when I get back home by taking advantage of the code OLDFELLA for 15% off everything at https://t.co/sMNBjOxBCo

[𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗼𝗻 @FiveRapid]

This was a great table to play on, amazing terrain by Joe. I look forward to seeing folks enjoying What A Tanker on it at Salute.

[Joe @Joe_Wargamer]

My Op Charnwood Caen'44 table, which was at Herts of Lard and will be at Salute

What with upcoming vampiric happenings, I recreated some classic intertitles and uploaded them to my daft t-shirt thing...
