HMS Hood and Bismarck from Victory at Sea

I've recently started getting into naval history, and obviously for me that also meant getting into yet another wargame. These are my first two ships from Victory at Sea by Warlord Games.

    It's important to remember that he is certainly still very good at chess, even if he cheated in some games. He wouldn't need to have every move given to him, it might even be enough to give him a single signal that there is a non-obvious great move in a current position. Even just knowing that would probably be enough for him to find it by himself.

    Good on ya, assuming I'm American (I'm not). Also, classic use of US bad, therefore Russia/China good. Two countries can be overmilitarized imperialists at the same time.

    Here's a version scaled by population (deaths per 100,000 residents). I'm no expert in this kind of thing, so I didn't account for other factors, such as age groups. Also, the data I found using the source in the original graph only went up to 2021, and didn't include 2017 for some reason.

    I collect airsoft replicas. Here's my gun wall, as it stands today. https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/84f37956-af3b-4f3c-8911-dfe517308f53.png

    I've never actually played airsoft, but I enjoy adding to the collection from time to time.

    Converted Terminator Chaplain from Leviathan

    As you can see, I collect Black Templars, so keeping this model as a Librarian wasn't an option. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Please accept the usual apologies for my continued incompetence when it comes to taking pictures.

    I've got a couple of Winsor & Newton Series 7 brushes, which are my "good ones". Additionally, a bunch of old Citadel brushes in various conditions for when that's good enough.

    Jump
  • DakkaDok DakkaDok 1 year ago 100%

    The Fight Phase happens in two subphases. First all units with the Fights First rule can fight, and then all other eligible units. In both cases, the player whose turn it ISN'T chooses first, then it alternates. However, the defending player often doesn't have any units with Fights First, which is most commonly gained by charging, so in praxis the attacking player usually can go first.

    120mm in length, 80mm in width assuming you count the widest points, which are the exhaust modules. Without those it's closer to 73mm in width.

    I created this mounted Company Commander for my Guard army years before GW released the Lord Solar, and he seemed like a good fit anyway.
