DBA 'Big Battle' Hungarians versus Mediaeval Germans
Had a great evening's game, playing double DBA, using cards rather than dice. Each player had 24 cards (4 sets of 1-6) and I felt the game was much more fun than with dice. See the DBA link on the right for more details and pics.
The pic shows the Hungarian knights - bottom centre - about to crash into my Crossbows. The Hungarian C in C is already gnashing at my mercenary pikes but about to come unstuck :)

Polish Submarine Class Orzel and Wilke - navwar 1/3000
The Orzel (eagle) Class subs saw some service during WW2 with the British and having found a great online history of the Polish naval forces during the war, I'm quite keen to get some British ships so I can play some of the battles. By far the smallest 1/3000 boats I've painted so far (not including the 1/10,000 scale Jutland fleet I abandoned years ago) I have some trouble telling front from back!
Between them the Polish subs seem to have had mixed fortunes, one at least sadly lost to a British minefield laid on its route after it had left port. Sounds like one hand didn't know what the other was doing! Even this sad event can be replicated in the rules I use as patches of 'difficult' and often dangerous terrain can be discovered and stumbled into. Some Jasolka class minelayers are next up, so thanks for looking. ;)
I also squeezed in three Wilke Class subs which I think were used for mine-laying amongst other duties.

New GRASP Rules - Play anything :)
I've uploaded a new set of rules I've written that should enable anything to be played against anything.
If you have time and inclination to try them I would love to hear any feedback.
