This site is dedicated to my Seven Years War project. I have begun recently to paint RSM95 SYW figures with the anticipation of playing games. These games will be loosely based upon those two most excellent of tomes; Charge and The Wargame.
This is a photo with flash, it gives the pic a nighttime feel.
The massive war machine of the Empress Elizabeth of Russia has come to life! Ok so really only one Regiment, that of St. Petersbourgski, has been painted. It should also be noted that rumors of this were reported on another blog.

There was an earlier day in my life when I had plenty of time and no money for my hobby, now I have money for my hobby and not so much time. I never stopped playing with toy soldiers "much to my mothers chagrin" exchanging the sandbox, green armymen and rocks for Donald Featherstone's book Wargames, AWI soldiers from the back of a comic book, dice and rulers. Those early games were great fun and very exciting. Eventually I graduated to more complicated systems, better miniatures, headaches, rule arguments and basically not a lot of fun. I thought about ditching the hobby altogether. I realized recently that I like a good game of toy soldiers. I like the look of toy soldiers and I like the way a simple game plays. I like the trusty d6.
