Page: Feed: --- ## [Remember The Maine](https://hordesofthethings.blogspot.com/2026/08/remember-maine.html) _2026-08-19 · Kaptain Kobold · The Stronghold Rebuilt_ Once again I find myself apologising for the lack of posts here. With one thing and another I've not been gaming as much, nor pondering projects. However yesterday I did dig out this old boardgame that I bought more than 30 years ago. In fact I bought it, and hadn't looked at it since. 'Remember The Maine' covers the Spanish-American War in the Caribbean and Atlantic, with a campaign game allowing… ## [1915 And All That](https://hordesofthethings.blogspot.com/2026/08/1915-and-all-that.html) _2026-08-13 · Kaptain Kobold · The Stronghold Rebuilt_ Inspired by his recent visit to the Hendon collection, Daniel asked if I could run a game of Spandau & Lewis last night. Originally I was going to run some balloon busting, since that suits two people rather well. But with two other people signing up I needed a larger game. Since Daniel had been rather taken with the Vickers FB5 at Hendon I decided to rerun my 1915 scenario. This is a fairly… ## [Writer 🍵 Interview: The Slow Return to the Light](https://emilylupitawriter.substack.com/p/writer-interview-the-slow-return) _2026-08-09 · Emily Lupita, writer · Emily Lupita, Writer_ Creativi-Tea Time 🍵 Guest Creative: Sheri Handel 🍵 Let's Gather To Nurture Our Creative Spirit 🍵 and Share Our Projects & Progress ## [Dancing In The Dark](https://hordesofthethings.blogspot.com/2026/08/dancing-in-dark.html) _2026-08-07 · Kaptain Kobold · The Stronghold Rebuilt_ One of my view of simple scenario design is that you simply chuck plenty of troops into the mix, randomise some entry times and entry points and let the situation develop from that. Sometimes it doesn't work, but most of the time it produces entertaining results. Anyway, that's what I did last night for a club game of Torpedoes & Tides. I played Torpedoes & Tides because (i) Daniel asked for a… ## [Boardgames](https://hordesofthethings.blogspot.com/2026/08/boardgames.html) _2026-08-04 · Kaptain Kobold · The Stronghold Rebuilt_ I realise it's been a bit quiet here the past week or so. Part of this is that I didn't get a game organised last Thursday, so there was no club game to report. The other part is that I haven't had any regular toy soldiers out at home for a while. But I have been gaming. Last week Mrs Kobold and I broke out Battle Cry. We played the First Bull Run scenario through a couple of times, swapping sides… ## [Creativity 🎨 Desk: Finishing Up Four Manuscripts After A Dark Night of the Soul](https://emilylupitawriter.substack.com/p/creativity-desk-finishing-up-four) _2026-08-03 · Emily Lupita, writer · Emily Lupita, Writer_ A Mexico Poetry Book 🎨 My Mexican Mother and the American Dream Memoir 🎨 Memoir About Growing Up Off-Grid with my Bardic Poet Father 🎨 Artist Travel Memoir Book ## [Ten Years Ago - August 2016](https://hordesofthethings.blogspot.com/2026/08/ten-years-ago-august-2016.html) _2026-07-31 · Kaptain Kobold · The Stronghold Rebuilt_ I seemed to have spent most of August 2016 refighting battles of the South American Wars of Liberation. I covered Chacabuco and Laguna Salada, as well as Tucuman, the subject of this month's retrospective post. It's also the first time I tried Neil Thomas's 'Simplicity In Practice' rules, which I still like, even if I haven't played them for a while. Oh, and August 2016 was when I finally decided… ## [A Complicated Man](https://hordesofthethings.blogspot.com/2026/07/a-complicated-man.html) _2026-07-28 · Kaptain Kobold · The Stronghold Rebuilt_ We went to see 'The Odyssey' this weekend, and enjoyed it. And who doesn't go and see a film and feel inspired to put together some kind of game afterwards? Now I did think that it would be possible to run a solo Galleys & Galleons game where a hero in a ship (or with a squadron of ships) has to cross a table dotted with hazards, and the rules would certainly allow that. It might not be a very… ## [The HOTT Misfits Tournament - Game 2](https://hordesofthethings.blogspot.com/2026/07/the-hott-misfits-tournament-game-2.html) _2026-07-24 · Kaptain Kobold · The Stronghold Rebuilt_ For Game 2 in my knockout tournament I went to the bottom of the brackets to select the first army in the second semi-final. So in this game Flash Gordon will take on the Weird WWII Soviets. I got out the cloth and the armies but then Miller decided that he wanted to inspect the figures and playing area. I left him to it until the sun moved far enough that he was no longer interested in sitting on… ## [🧿 The Story Guide: How I Wrote My Memoir 🌸 4 Writing Decisions I Made 💌 Letter #4, "The Journey Itself Is Home"](https://emilylupitawriter.substack.com/p/the-story-guide-how-i-wrote-my-memoir-a06) _2026-07-22 · Emily Lupita, Writer_ The impossible choice · Home as a moving, living thing · Writing in motion — the scene of departure · The second person invitation 💌 A behind-the-scenes breakdown of using my Inward Eye Method ## [Dissecting Series A Rounds (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/dlAa8LhlM3Wu) _2026-07-22 · **Sponsored**_ Two real Series A cases: timelines, investor sequencing, and common founder mistakes. ## [The HOTT Misfits Tournament - Draw And Game 1](https://hordesofthethings.blogspot.com/2026/07/the-hott-misfits-tournament-draw-and.html) _2026-07-20 · Kaptain Kobold · The Stronghold Rebuilt_ Back in December I ran an eight army knockout HOT tournament based around matched pairs from literature. I finished it a few weeks ago and the army of Helium, from Burroughs' Martian series won it. Anyway, we've just started rewatching Doctor Who from its 1963 beginnings - lots of episodes and stories I've not seen before - and I was reminded that I had Dalek and U.N.I.T. armies for HOTT. As HOTT… ## [HOTT](https://hordesofthethings.blogspot.com/2026/07/hott.html) _2026-07-17 · Kaptain Kobold · The Stronghold Rebuilt_ I played a couple of games of HOTT with Darren last night. He's new to the game although has played a few games of DBA back in the dim and distant past. As always I kept the armies relatively simple. Darren used the Ceidonians in his first game, choosing four spears, two blades (one the general), two knights, two shooters and a behemoth. I used my Fishmen, with a behemoth, four spears (one the… ## [Get Yer Gothas Out!](https://hordesofthethings.blogspot.com/2026/07/get-yer-gothas-out.html) _2026-07-14 · Kaptain Kobold · The Stronghold Rebuilt_ After my Handley-Page bomber game from last week I had a request to get the Gothas out again. I'm always happy to het my big bombers out for an appreciative audience, so yesterday I ran the same scenario but with two Gothas bombing London (probably). I used randomised defending aircraft as outlined HERE . The RFC would get three planes. I'm still tweaking VPs for this scenario.
