Tournament software Running a tournament may sound like a simple thing to do, but computing standings and match-ups using the margin of […]
This is a repost from xwingminiaturesgame.com. The popularity of FFG’s X-Wing game has lead to a large, worldwide community of players.

As shown elsewhere, I converted my […]
[lang_nl]Update 2016: Ik gebruik deze en soortgelijke dozen nog steeds voor dials etc., maar voor het vervoer van de schepen heb ik inmiddels een aantal foam trays van Feldherr gekocht. Een uitdaging met X-Wing is het opslaan en vervoeren van alle benodigde spullen. Niet alleen de schepen moet veilig opgeborgen […]
Disclaimer: I read this book in the Dutch translation The 13th Valley by John Del Vecchio has been called the classic Vietnam novel. Other classic books (e.g. Dispatches by Michael Herr, The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brian, Chickenhawk by Robert Mason) were first-hand accounts, although O’Brian often crosses the […]
My 20mm (1/72) Bundeswehr Cold War army has reached an intermediate goal: I have finished a mixed company-sized armored force, consisting of the following: Panzerzug, 4x Leopard 2 A4 (Revell) Panzergrenadierzug, 3x Marder A2 (Revell, modified) with Elhiem infantry Panzeraufklärungszug, Leopard 1 A4 (ESCI) & Luchs (Revell) Unterstützungszug Flugabwehrkanonenpanzer Gepard […]
