Tactical Nuclear Penguin

At 32%, this awesomely named beer was the world's strongest when it was released but is now relegated to just third!

Its been superceeded by the 41% ABV "Sink the Bismarck"

And now the 43% Schorschbock

But at going rates of around $100 per bottle, its not likely to cause a drink-driving problem!

Apart from the awesome game that was Jurassic Reich, played on the table above (detailed report to follow) and the obligatory sale people I was very happy to give my money too (thanks again for the goodies!) there as some great stuff at Little Wars. I didnt get pics of everything, but a few things really caught my eye. Here good mats of mine Pete and Ken learn how to play Command and Colours Ancients, demonstrated by Brian of Western Wargaming Club using 25mm Picts and Romans.

There as also somenice Space Hulk action in the background, where Terminators of the Imperial Fist Chapter werehaving a hard time of it when I went past:

I also spied Karsten running a Mammoth hunting game in 15mm using the fun TUSK rules (sorry about the dodgy pic, but there were hunters' hands going every where!):

And then there was a fantastic looking 25mm VSF game set on Mars (more to follow on this later too);

and yes there was plenty more I didnt get a chance to see in detail between the chats, socials, gaming, buying, beers and bratwursts! Thanks again to everyone who helped put on the show- I had a brilliant day out.

Little Wars and Jurassic Reich

Just home from a brilliant day out at Little Wars. Many thanks indeed to all the organisers for a fantastic day. The gaming highlight for me was playing Jurassic Reich along with Owen - many thanks to Alan and Greg for running a great game and the opportunity to play on simply inspirational terrain. Lots of pics to come once I've done my chores!

A trio of my Kriegclawtruppen charge Owen's hero bazooka team from the flank and take them down!

Also great to catch up with many old friends, including Nic and John from Eureka miniatures.
