Not a lot has been accomplished on the modeling workbench other than some work on the brass sails for the USS Essex - a 32 gun frigate in 1/1200 scale. After I took this picture a bit more progress was made as the hull and deck got their initial painting applied. I should finish the Essex next weekend and then may take a break from the 1/1200 Langtons for a bit. Next up will be some 15mm Flames of War units for an upcoming tournament.
Last weekend I did get a chance to play the Lord of the Rings card game from Fantasy Flight Games. To be honest, I was very dubious about the game and most card games in general. My concerns were misplaced, the LOTR card game is a lot of fun to play and does a surprisingly good job of conveying the feel for Middle Earth to the point I was recalling how much I enjoyed the books when I first read them in High School (yes the printing presses existed back then). Thanks to Steve MacLauchlan for taking the time to teach a gaming luddite such as myself the key points of the game.
This blog will will contain my rather pedantic ramblings on my experiences within the miniature war gaming hobby. There will be informative how-to’s, thrilling battle reports and thought provoking editorials. I fully expect that history will one day view the contents of this blog on par with Homer’s Illiad or Newton’s Principalia. Or it's a complete waste of time.

I'm dubious all the time!
Well, there is something to be said for consistency!
Be strong
Nice progress on the ship. Looking forward to seeing more of it.
Cheers
Stefan
