Enough of that giant robot stuff for now. Let’s talk Tilly. Tilly’s Very Bad Day is a set of rules for the Thirty Years War (but they also work for the 80 Years War, the English civil war, etc. as well) written by Steven Thomas. \[…\] ## [Battletech Scouring Sands: Game 6](https://tabletopstories.net/language/en/2026/06/battletech-scouring-sands-game-6/) _2026-06-21 · Sigur · Tabletop Stories_ Here we go again!

Campaign game #4. As it happens, I forgot to write up the battle report for game #3. Pretty stupid. I might hand it in later, maybe never (and will always be very bitter about it). Either way, we won, there were no losses, everything went well in game#3. \*\*\*\*\*\*\* The following text \[…\] ## [MS Era: Review and Battle Report](https://tabletopstories.net/language/en/2026/03/ms-era-review-and-battle-report/) _2026-03-16 · Sigur · Tabletop Stories_ Gundam tabletops are all the rage! Gundam Assemble was announced proper, it’ll be out in November 2026, …why wait though? There’s plenty of rules sets to depict the weird and wacky world of mobile suit fightin’ in the Universal Century and beyond. One of them is MS Era. Mobile Suit Combat I’m always \[…\] ## [Battletech Scouring Sands: Game 2](https://tabletopstories.net/language/en/2026/02/battletech-aces-campaign-game-2/) _2026-02-08 · Sigur · Tabletop Stories_ Right, let’s dive right into campaign game#2! Last time… Tanit’s Talons, our lovely mercenary company, was asked to help kick a contingent of the Jade Falcon clan off a planet at the behest of the local merchants. So we made planetfall right at an outpost to meet with the locals, let them know that we’re \[…\] ## [Battletech Scouring Sands: Game 1](https://tabletopstories.net/language/en/2026/01/battletech-aces-game-1/) _2026-01-31 · Sigur · Tabletop Stories_ Heyhey, it’s January, so it’s the time of year for hopeful campaign plans. Battetech (Alpha Strike) has been all the rage lately, Catalyst blessed us with Aces recently, so no better time to do this. What is Battletech Aces? Battletech Aces is a campaign supplement for Battletech Alpha Strike specifically made for solo/cooperative \[…\] ## [Sharp Practice: Defense in Depth](https://tabletopstories.net/language/en/2026/01/sharp-practice-defense-in-depth/) _2026-01-09 · Sigur · Tabletop Stories_ Heyhey, happy new year. We’re back with a game of Sharp Practice! First game of SP2 in a year; I haven’t played these rules much in 2024 and 2025. Maybe we can fix that in 2026, because SP2 is such a fun game.

Three prongs to this feedback-fork: 1.) “Oh, another Warhammer fan project. Now that GW got The Old World out I’ll stick to that.” (Discord, The Old World channels) 2.) “You should add magic to get the full experience. It makes a difference.” (Facebook, \[…\] ## [Warhammer Renaissance: Review and Battle Report](https://tabletopstories.net/language/en/2025/07/warhammer-renaissance-review-and-battle-report/) _2025-07-13 · Sigur · Tabletop Stories_ Heyhey, here’s another review/battle report. Today we’re taking a closer look at Warhammer Renaissance, a fan-made re-make of Warhammers of the 90s. A few days ago I watched a video in which Rick Priestley talked about Warhammer, editions 4, 5 and 6. In this, he claimed that he considered Warhammer Fantasy’s 4th edition to be \[…\] ## [Web Coding With AI, Live (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/zZzufHzChPV9) _2025-07-13 · **Sponsored**_ Collaborative screen sharing with simultaneous remote control, open source. ## [The First Jewish Revolt: Who was…Simeon Bar Giora](https://wargameswriter838893051.wordpress.com/2025/05/26/the-first-jewish-revolt-who-wassimeon-bar-giora/) _2025-05-26 · Wargames Writer · (untitled)_ While my forthcoming range of miniatures can be used for any of the Jewish revolts against Rome, the most famous is the First Jewish War, largely due to the writings of Josephus. Unlike the other revolts we can be relatively confident in the chronology of events as well as the names of many of the Continue reading "The First Jewish Revolt: Who was…Simeon Bar Giora" ## [Krautcover Basing Review](https://wargameswriter838893051.wordpress.com/2025/05/20/krautcover-basing-review/) _2025-05-20 · Wargames Writer · (untitled)_ In my opinion, basing your models is the most important step to get right in order to create a great looking miniature you can be proud of. A poorly based model undermine all the effort you have put into painting it, while good basing will complement your effort, without drawing attention to itself. After all, Continue reading "Krautcover Basing Review" ## [Paw Prints in Time](https://wargameswriter838893051.wordpress.com/2025/05/18/paw-prints-in-time/) _2025-05-18 · Wargames Writer · (untitled)_ During the Classical era, tiles were made in moulds before being fired in kilns. Typically, however, the tiles would be left outside in the interval. Naturally, animals, ever-present wherever humans are around, would sometimes walk on these (I like to think cats would do this deliberately, especially if they were told not to). This has Continue reading "Paw Prints in Time" ## [The First Jewish Revolt: Who were…the Sicarii?](https://wargameswriter838893051.wordpress.com/2025/05/10/the-first-jewish-revolt-who-werethe-sicarii/) _2025-05-10 · Wargames Writer · (untitled)_ One of the most infamous rebel groups active both before and during the First Jewish Revolt were a mysterious group known as the Sicarii. The Sicarii, named after the curved daggers they carried, were one of the earliest organised groups of assassins. However, very little is known about them as they only appear in one Continue reading "The First Jewish Revolt: Who were…the Sicarii?" ## [Review: Forgotten North Old World Grand Tournament, 03-04 May 2025](https://wargameswriter838893051.wordpress.com/2025/05/06/review-forgotten-north-old-world-grand-tournament-03-04-may-2025/) _2025-05-06 · Wargames Writer · (untitled)_ Overview After attending the inaugural Forgotten North GT in October 2024, I was excited to go to their second this past weekend. To summarise the event details, it was a Warhammer The Old World event, consisting of 5x 2000 point games over 2 days (3 on Saturday and 2 on Sunday). In total 40 players Continue reading "Review: Forgotten North Old World Grand Tournament, 03-04 May 2025" ## [Tzitzit: Miniature Design (Northwing Miniatures)](https://wargameswriter838893051.wordpress.com/2025/04/28/tzitzit-miniature-design-northwing-miniatures/) _2025-04-28 · Wargames Writer · (untitled)_ One of my ambitions with my upcoming range of 28mm miniatures for the Jewish Revolts is to try and make them historically faithful. This is always a challenge when it comes to trying to design miniatures depicting figures from the classical era as so little evidence has survived. Most textiles have long since rotted away, Continue reading "Tzitzit: Miniature Design (Northwing Miniatures)" ## [Wargaming the Jewish Revolts: The Kitos War (115-117AD)](https://wargameswriter838893051.wordpress.com/2025/04/21/wargaming-the-jewish-revolts-the-kitos-war-115-117ad/) _2025-04-21 · Wargames Writer · (untitled)_ The Kitos War, which took place between 115 and 117 AD, was one of the most violent and far-reaching episodes in the long and troubled history of Jewish–Roman relations. Although it is less well known than the First Jewish War, or the later Bar Kokhba Revolt, it had lasting consequences for both the Jewish people Continue reading "Wargaming the Jewish Revolts: The Kitos War (115-117AD)" ## [Wargaming the Jewish Revolts: The Bar Kokhba War – Rome’s Vietnam?](https://wargameswriter838893051.wordpress.com/2025/04/17/wargaming-the-jewish-revolts-the-bar-kokhba-war-romes-vietnam/) _2025-04-17 · Wargames Writer · (untitled)_ Unlike the First Jewish War, far less is known about the Second Jewish War, or the Bar Kokhba War. This is because no primary source similar to Josephus’ “Jewish War” survives for this conflict. What we do know comes from fairly fragmentary sources at some remove from events. As an example of how little we Continue reading "Wargaming the Jewish Revolts: The Bar Kokhba War – Rome’s Vietnam?" ## [Wargaming the Jewish Revolts: The Siege of Jerusalem](https://wargameswriter838893051.wordpress.com/2025/04/14/wargaming-the-jewish-revolts-the-siege-of-jerusalem/) _2025-04-14 · Wargames Writer · (untitled)_ One of the aspects of the Jewish Revolts against Rome in the 1st and 2nd centuries AD are the numerous opportunities for creating a variety of interesting wargaming scenarios. In particular, the siege of Jerusalem, one of the most pivotal events in Jewish history, is a fascinating period worthy of exploration as it offers a Continue reading "Wargaming the Jewish Revolts: The Siege of Jerusalem" ## [Ship software peacefully (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/8RHdRGmEf4q7) _2025-04-14 · **Sponsored**_ Deploy apps from your repo with auto-config, instant previews, scaling, and monitoring. ## [Josephus and The Jewish War: A Complex Witness to a Catastrophic Revolt](https://wargameswriter838893051.wordpress.com/2025/04/09/josephus-and-the-jewish-war-a-complex-witness-to-a-catastrophic-revolt/) _2025-04-09 · Wargames Writer · (untitled)_ Before embarking on a discussion of the various revolts against Rome, I wanted to talk about one of our main sources of information on this period, Flavius Josephus. It is because his work, “The Jewish War”, has survived that we know so much about the First Jewish War (or, at least we think we do).
