New Link

I added a new Link in the proper section: it's a link to my friend Massimo new blog (Lead Addicted) where he uncovers details about his next Ganesha game about Gladiators (Ludus Magnus), and reports about SDS and other games they play in Rome.
Enjoy! (and good luck to Massimo)
Below, a preview of the last set of pics he added, with an SDS Big Battle going on...

SYW in Berlin

October 2010 seems to be the Month of Germany :)
Here are some pics from Berlin of a SYW (house rules) battle played with SDS rules.
A volley is fired....
An isolated defender comes out from the tents to defend himself.
Well done my friends! Wunderbar

At the beginning of september Michael sent me these pics from his scenario "Spain 1809" ... enjoy!

SDS in Germany!

Some pictures coming from a Con in Oldenburg (Germany) and sent by Michael (above with black shirt). The Con took place last week-end and Michael's Club now has more SDS player, thanks to this demo table.
The scenario designed by Michael was "Spain 1809" and the terrain is really attractive!
A couple of close-up on the miniatures (very nicely painted): above British infantry (light coy) with its Leader...
... and French Voltigeur firing. Michael uses small puffs of cotton for marking unloaded weapon, a very nice-looking way to do it.
Great job Michael, keep playing and sending pics!

Another gamimg evening

Last thursday I received a couple of friends from Perugia (Stefano & Stefano) to play a sort of introductory game of SDS. One of them already played some games, while the other just played Song of Blades and Heroes. Above is the table at game start.

First moves: getting used to the differences between the games (Group orders, NCO and the like). We played using all Tournament rules, as both want to play in the Perugia Tournament in november.
Me and Stefano G. who is the organiser of the CON Magna con Phersu in Perugia (november, see my previous post about it) where an SDS tournament will take place. The players family grows....
