Wargaming / Re: Next War...whats next
Last post by ArizonaTank - Yesterday at 03:45:21 PMHere is the link for NW Iran.
https://www.gmtgames.com/p-1011-next-war-iran.aspx
a short blurb from the description;
Now, with the old regime teetering and losing its grip, Iran makes a bid for forcing the West to recognize its complete sovereignty and control over its own affairs by striking at the one thing they care about: the flow of oil. Mining the Straits of Hormuz and declaring it closed to all traffic, Iran defies the world. The US, and perhaps some of its allies, takes action to re-open the straits and get the black gold flowing to the world again.
Next War: Iran is the sixth game in the Next War series. It is unique in the series in that the Allied player has to do the attacking while the non-Allied player attempts to defend its territory against neo-imperial oppression. With a long logistical tail, few true allies in the region, and the menace of Iran's A2AD capabilities, re-opening the Straits is a tall order.

Other Games Around the Table / Re: Mars Needs You!
Last post by Maximy1 - May 04, 2024, 02:45:47 PMThat sounds exciting! Launching a new game on Kickstarter is a big endeavor, and it's great to hear that you've been involved in playtesting and supporting your friend's project.

Modelling and Miniatures / Re: He-162 A-2 Salamander
Last post by JudgeDredd - April 18, 2024, 10:39:20 AMThe painting isn't quite what I hoped for.
It's rough in places. I tried to hand paint that bit round the nose because it's curved...but I don't have a steady hand. Additionally, when I was doing the green, I had some overspray into the blue. So I tried to touch that up but the paint brush wasn't playing ball and - well, it was a bit of a pita...those are the reasons I don't like the painting aspect.
But I'll get the decals on and give it a dirty wash and hope that covers some of the blemishes.

Last post by JudgeDredd - April 18, 2024, 02:24:12 AMManaged to get the green on...I think I've been sold a doozy by Vallejo - their Dark Green 71.011 is incredibly close (almost indistinguishable) to their Light Green 71.022
Anyway - next steps are protective coat, decals then wash and finally the guns and nose "pointy thing" and she's done

I'll go out on this limb and say that you won't ever have the time to build that many models. if you finish that carrier in a year I'll honestly be surprised.
Yeah. You're probably right.
