Buildings, Games and oh, I am a wargamer!

 Okay, so continuing on with my Empire, i thought i'd go old school and make some building from cereal box card.. i was happy with the result, so i made a video on what i created. The buuildings design is basic enough that i could use it from the medieval period to probably ww2, plus wouldn't be out of place in Bree!

Click here for report    Finallt i was nominate by Jack Sarge  for an "I am a Wargamer" video. So i filled in the challenge and completed it. The only thing i didn't do was decide on my third nominee. I though i would give the viewers a chance to put forward a wargaming channel for me to nominate. This way i get to pick through some channels, hopefully some of which i haven't come a across before. Click here for "I am a wargamer" so, see you next time... Dha weles

But at least I outnumber some Wood Eves 2-1, so this should give me a chance for some good results.

  So lets start with the final month of the campaign for Lord of the Rings! Ouch, it was a bad run for the forces of good. last month a small light glistened but this month we were beaten down a peg or to. In the North desperate times pushed us to split our forces, but our inability to win matches had sorely hurt us.... the counter-attack the forces of evil gave us were harsh and brutal. Rivendel was swarmed by Harad, while Lorien fell to the goblins.   Though seeing the attack coming we tried to support with a cavalry banner but they where intercepted by the Easterling Cataphrakts, and defeated.  Year 1 Month 6...    In the South thing went better, but too late.. The blue has dwindled to naught but a few "enemy" strongholds. So with that players shook hands and we called it a day....
