Kubla Khan passed me by this Memorial Day without running a "Too Fat Lardies" demo game. I try and do this 2-3 times a year here in California both for my own enjoyment and to spread the word. A wedding and a barbecue foiled my plans this year. Conquest San Francisco in September will be my next demo. Hopefully a "Through the mud and Blood" demo of the WW1 Lardie rules.
That said my Scarab Austrians and Italians for M&B were shunted aside as I latched onto a modern set of micro armor rules, "Cold War Commander" Thinking it'd be a piece of cake to paint up two forces quickly I'm bogged down now with painters block and spend my time reading board game rules and clipping counters like a fool. But! I've recently become involved in a kriegsspiel game covering the Great War battle of Cambrai. I'm playing the part of the IV British Corps commander, General Woollsey. I'll be updating both the Cambrai battle and posting some photos of my work bench projects soon.

Too Fat Lardies Normandy game day - Fall 2008
Fall 2008's Game day featured the Airborne operations on June 5/6 throughout the invasion area. Each team was assigned a scenario based on figures available. Due to the Thanksgiving holiday my team here in California bailed on me and I ended up running a solo game. Most Pictures and notes to follow soon.

What's on the work bench - January 2009
First entry in what I hope is a recurring habit. This is now about the third website attempt to collects my thoughts and photographs on my hobbies. The current project is 40mm Napoleonics for the Too Fat Lardies skirmish rules "Sharp Practice' I'm running a participation game in Sacramento the third weekend in March and have to hustle a bit to finish in time. Here's the current state of affairs. I've shown the big figures along side some 15mm vehicles to give you an idea of the scale. I'm sorely tempted to continue in 40mm for future projects like the ECW and Le Feu Sacre.
