Hannibal!

 


I recently received a nice package from Second Chance Games, Hold the Line: Hannibal by Worthington Games. I pre-ordered many months ago. The box weighs around 4kgs and has a lovely mounted board (useful for many games, not just this one) and multiple heavy counter sheets with terrain, units and commanders.

I am a fan of Hold the Line and very pleased to see it extended into the ancients era. Very much looking forward to getting to grips with this. For me, this is a very rare purchase but quite an exciting one.

In other news our beloved black Labrador, Monty, passed away after a long battle with cancer. He remained brave and happy to the end. RIP Monts!

Happy new.........er Blenheim!

 


Well, far too late for any type of seasonal greetings but never to late for a nice Blenheim! Zvezda 1/200 Mk IV. This has rested on my desk unpainted for many months pending development of sufficient will power to paint the greenhouse on the front. Now done and my first achievement this year.
