We’ve enabled the functionality to post to HMGS/PSW using the WordPress app for iPhone/iPad or Google Android devices. All you need is the free app, and an author login and password for the site.

Enjoy! This should make it easier to make instant posts and upload pics of your games while they are happening!

Facebook and Gaming

One of the great things about social media is getting back in touch with old friends — including wargaming friends. The Bengal Club recently created a page on Facebook to report our games, invite members to events, and basically keep in touch. We’ve also created a FB page for HMGS/PSW, and hopefully we’ll soon be able to automatically update it from this site.

If your club has a Facebook page, share it with the rest of HMGS either by posting it to the Yahoo list or commenting on this post — let’s expand our internet community!

Here’s the Bengal Club page

Last night, the Bengal Club held two very entertaining games using “The Natives Are Restless“, a simple yet sophisticated set of rules previously only used for Boxer Rebellion games (See below for information about the convention games played in the fall). Zulus versus Brits, and although the Zulus lost twice, it was still an exciting game — both of which were played in the span of three hours.

Unfortunately, we don’t have any pictures of the games, but we’re starting to think that these rules may be a handy replacement for The Sword and the Flame, a game system not currently in favor at the club.

If you have your own gaming blog, or your club has a blog or website about miniature gaming, feel free to let us know so we can add it to the links section of the board. We just got notice of the ODGW Blog, and added the link this morning.

Happy blogging!

Plastic Ships & Iron Men

Tonight, the Bengal Club will be attempting a retry of Plastic Ships & Iron Men — wherein we use the old Wooden Ships & Iron Men rules, a hex mat, and WizKid’s Pirates of the Spanish Main (etc) ships.

Some of us have actual scale model ships, a la “Ship of the Line”, but there’s nothing easier and more convenient than just punching out some ships of the wide variety available in the “Pirates” line and whipping up a battle.

For those who don’t have a copy of the old WS&IM rules, Hasbro has made them available at their website here.

Note that this PDF is missing page 7, so you can find that here. The log sheets here, the counters here, and the advanced tables here.

on a microarmor night — and he has nothing but contempt for the Tiny Germans. NSFW, btw.

Just found this interesting site. Some really nice photos, and more.

I especially like the vignettes of Sam Pekingpah ...

What the heck is miniature wargaming?
