@Dozibugger Been pretty dead here for wargaming content for some time, I'm mostly here for real world war stuff, some activity on bluesky and various Facebook groups.

@Smygpainter @Oldwargamer Highland cattle might be your best bet. Quite a wide range of colours to be seen. https://t.co/Ica4bpn7S4

@gareth_lane Leaving some wrecks behind as well I can see 😊 The amount of BMP, BTR and tank wrecks that could be seen along the route to pansjir back in 2003 was mind blowing 🤯

[Geir Helge Kiplesund @GHKiplesund]

@Joe_Wargamer @SarissaPrec I am sure you will 😁

[Geir Helge Kiplesund @GHKiplesund]

@AnibalInvic Enjoy your new hobby, there is an amazing amount of stuff out there for printing 😃

@HerrBrush67 Do be careful, easy to cut more than plastic it is quite hard depending on thickness and type of plastic.. I'd consider heating the blade, a Dremel should also work.

@Sabotag3dPrint @MegaSlippers @RoundwoodsWorld The best cult!

[Geir Helge Kiplesund @GHKiplesund]

@PainterTactical Really nice aar, keep up the good work👍

[Geir Helge Kiplesund @GHKiplesund]

@Smygpainter I'd call that a success 👍👏

[Geir Helge Kiplesund @GHKiplesund]

@Joe_Wargamer @yarkshiregamer I'd definitely listen to that one 😎

[Geir Helge Kiplesund @GHKiplesund]

@Olvekr Haha, last Friday I went to see the play Kongsemnerne by Ibsen with my wife so I can relate to the drama of the period :-)

A game thread… 🧵
A quiet afternoon, so I have decided to run a solo of “Battle of Berlin” the RAF variant for B17 Queen of the Skies. The key word here is ‘variant’, so I’ll be adding bonus narrative and events - and history - to spice up my life and keep things interesting.

[Olve @Olvekr]

This'll be great! My contribution this year is a campaign for Chain of Command set in Narvik 1940.

@WiseWolfPaints Compositionally no. 3, but focus is better on 2.

[Geir Helge Kiplesund @GHKiplesund]

@tomjmegan Oh boy did I want to become an archaeologist back then 😁

[Geir Helge Kiplesund @GHKiplesund]

Great AAR 🙂

🧵Chain of Command AAR.

D+2 Day, June 1944. Normandy, France.

La Ferme d’Lard. A fine French farmstead, nestled amidst a patchwork of tilled fields and stout ditch lines of thick Norman bocage.

Pre-dawn mist still clings to the fields…
