Texas invaded!

...by many, very small soldiers with strange hats and long muskets...
LTL has posted on his blog another batrep (take a look at it, it's like a short movie!) of a scenario they played yesterday. He and his friends played SDS for 8 hours using 6mm Baccus miniatures.

Worth looking

Thanks again LTL!

Next sunday in Terni!

Notwithstanding some flue going around, the proximity of other tournaments and Lucca Games Con, I confirm that the Tourney in Terni will regularly take place next sunday.
Keep your muskets loaded!!

Great SDS Batrep (6mm!)

Here is a link to LTL batrep:

I like very much both the idea of a "portable" set in 6mm, and of the comic-style comments in it.
Great job, LTL!

Some pics from Antonio

Antonio sent me some pics from a 400 points scenario they played recently, and called "The well". Miniatures are 28mm Front Rank, Victrix and Perry, scenery are custom made, trees by Citadel.
I think here Antonio & his friends used cards for activation (Antonio, let us know!)..
And finally th well was in french hands... Vive l'Empereur!
Thank you for sharing Antonio (and hope to see you in some Tournament soon!).

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
