No, I haven't switched games :). But since Naval War also includes air strikes, carrier battles and air combat, it was about time I looked into getting some plane miniatures. First consideratio...

It isn't easy to make your own miniature naval game . Tremendous amounts of work go into the ruleset itself, but if you want to be able to show the game to anyone you will need a full-blown demo ...

Well, not many updates on my blog lately, but I sure have been busy nonetheless. Making a game suitable for demo's involves more than just getting the rules correct. One of the major aspects of...

I'm really on a roll here, these ships took some more time because of the wooden decks which required some more detailing. HMS Renown (WotC) and HMS Galatea (Shapeways) Kirishima (Shapewa...

Heyhey, Last week I finished up most of the IJN ships I ordered from Shapeways: Shoho (WotC repaint), with her escort, Furutaka, Kako, Aoba and Kinugasa Furutaka and Kako Aoba and ...

So, finally it has come to this point… I’m proud to be able to present to you guys the outline of my own WWII Naval ruleset: Naval War What kind of ruleset is Naval War? Why is it differ...

Last saturday, I've been able to play another playtest game for my Naval War rules. My opponent has been very kind to write a very nice battle-report of the encounter; Enjoy! * My apologies fo...

In the last post, I wrote about the thought process on how to create the gunnery mechanic for my game. We will continue by reviewing the result and see if we can bring it in line with the limita...
http://calltoarmsmwg.blogspot.com/2015/02/naval-war-designing-gunnery-mechanic.html
One of the hardest things in designing a ruleset in my mind is the mechanics. Designing mechanics is as messy as most of the battles we are portraying and without any guidance the process really...

It seems my posts about my Naval War ruleset have put the project into second gear. I've received several playtest requests by now and I was caught a bit off-guard by that. I think most of the ...
http://calltoarmsmwg.blogspot.com/2015/01/naval-war-playtest-requests.html
Well, I finally got to some more Naval War playtesting. So for the occasion I made my first Naval War Battlereport! The game setting is 'pickup' game, so no historical scenario. This also gives...

Well, as promised in my last post I'm going to try writing some more stuff on my blog. Currently I'm tinkering with my own naval rules. I've played War at Sea for quite some time and think it i...

Well, it's been a very long time since I did any constructive posting on my blog. Between the birth of our little girl, the moving to a new house and other private life difficulties, wargaming ha...

So, I'm currently working on some scenery for my VaS games. This is how it turned out: Clicky for a quick how-to: The following video inspired me to try their technique, so credits ...

Finally a little update to my blog. I've become father of a cute little girl in the meantime, so hobby-time is in short supply lately :) I've recently started painting some of the new Mongoose ...

NOTE 11-08-2015: It seems that Mongoose hasn't been able to make good on their promises for this line. After 2 years of silence they have slowly pulled their remaining ships from their webstore. ...

Well, I finally managed to take some photo's of my Flames of War American forces.... Some may be a bit blurry, my good camera is currently in repair, and we haven't got any decent sunlight he...

Sooo, I got the request to make a little tutorial about how I model the water on my ship bases. Its actually not that hard, but putting things in pictures makes stuff much easier to learn and...
http://calltoarmsmwg.blogspot.com/2012/12/modelling-water-on-ship-bases.html
It's that time of year again... Ever since I've been playing War at Sea I've been fascinated by the scratchbuilds being made by the WaS community . Never having tried building man-made structur...
http://calltoarmsmwg.blogspot.com/2012/09/building-uss-texas.html
Sooo, since I like to give all my miniature armies some uniqueness by little conversions, additions and scratchbuilds I figured it would be a good time to do some scratchbuilding for my Flames of...
http://calltoarmsmwg.blogspot.com/2012/08/building-flames-of-war-objective.html
So, for this project I decided that I was going to try to build 3 ships at the same time (big mistake!). And to add insult to injury I also figured I would try a more difficult project than any o...

Ok, this blog entry I will explain how I made the camonetting on my Flames of War tank destroyers, its quite simple actually but it is a very cool addition to a mini. The finished mini: Cli...
http://calltoarmsmwg.blogspot.com/2012/07/making-camouflage-netting.html
This ship was not a scratchbuild but rather a mod of one of the WAS mini's in my collection. I've tried to bring the model to life by adding the camo, some more deck clutter, antennae and the flo...
