It has been quite a while since my last blog. Life has kind of taken a change in direction for me. What with the loss of my wife of almost 40 years back in June of 2011, and, the relinquishment of my log cabin home in the Cabarrus County North Carolina woods.

Just before Independence day, July 4th 2013. I had a heart attack and spent almost two weeks in the hospital. Having a stent put into a blocked artery and being slow to recover. This coming Friday. The 13th of September I will be going back into hospital for a second stent operation. Thank fully it will be an out patient procedure. So God willing I'll be back home in the evening.

Reenacting and miniature war-gaming, Always a neat release for me from the daily grind of living have taken a very back seat in my life. However I now feel up to trying to game again. If time allows.

Seven years war gaming is the period I would like to get started in so her is a photo just to wet the appetite;

My newest project: Samurai in 10mm


For some while now. I have been wargaming with a computer aided miniature gaming system; Computer Strategies, "Great Powers".

This is a system that is purported to cover the period from 1820 through to 1900. In the European theatre of conflict.

It is a fully intergrated system for this time frame in history. With the ability to game land and or naval at any time.

Also included within its system is a campaign and solo gaming modules.

Although I mentioned above that the system was originally developed for the European conflicts between 1820 & 1900.

With friends, we have very successfully used it to game the Mexican-American war, Russo- Japanese naval war of 1904-05 and one of my favorite periods; The 7 Years War. with minor in house changes.

Onto my newest project: Feudal Japan. The reign of the Samurai in a scale of 10mm.

The majority of the figures used are Pendraken miniatures with a few minifigs thrown in for good measure
