If it were a forum post it's the kind of thing you wouldn't revive, though times are strange with a global pandemic and suddenly a lot of free time on my hands. After spending some time sick and getting burnt out/tired of running games of Dungeons & Dragons and other role playing games for my friends, I was feeling the urge for some solo play. I'd tried some solo d&d before, though the idea of making characters and such didn't appeal to me at the time. Eventually, I found my way to the reading list.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It's nice to see many of the blogs I followed and read are still going, and strong! I'm not sure if inspired is a good way to refer to how I feel about potentially getting back into wargaming and figure collecting/painting and such. I was tempted at various points to buy some warhammer figures to glue together and paint during tough periods of university, though money and space were lacking. Now having left uni and being, for the time being at least, without work until the UK lock down is lifted, perhaps I shall use this time to dip in the proverbial toe.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have ideas, and I could ramble, but I decided instead to simply print out a hex sheet, cut up some cardboard, and grab a pen and a copy of Tigers at Minsk, a simple ruleset for WWII gaming. I have very little space, but managed to fit the 6x8 hexes on a sheet of A4 paper. I could have made the tokens pretty, with custom art and such, but I knew if I dallied too long I would lose momentum. So, with some tokens and the starter scenario in hand, I jumped in.</div>
<div>
<br />
The scenario is simple enough. 6 German sections and HMG support must reach the Russians' base line before the time runs out. The Russians have a couple of infantry sections and a couple of HMGs, as well as good cover in a pair of villages/BUA and open lines of fire that the Germans have to cross.<br />
Closest to the camera are the Germans, across the board are the Russians.<br />

Initial deployment. The Russians place HMGs in the villages, while the Germans form a line in the forests with a couple of sections on the right ready to make the dash across the open.<br />

The first couple of rounds begin with both sides opening fire, with the Germans taking the worst of it. They lose two squads in the forest to a HMG and another in pinned. However, the HMG malfunctions on the second turn! The "assault" group moves up and lays down smoke, attracting some fire but no damage is dealt.</div>

I'm pretty sure I misplayed parts, like not using opportunity fire enough for the Russians. Most play throughs I've read of the scenario the Russians win, as crossing the open under two HMG fire is horrendously dangerous. Though the HMG malfunctioning early really helped I think and, once out of sight of the troops in the other village, the lone Russian squad just didn't have the firepower to contest.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Overall I really enjoyed it. Quick, easy to grasp, just need to print a reference sheet rather than flick through the pdf all the time. I think I shall play the other scenarios in the book, and from then, we shall see.</div>

The last time we saw these guys was in a post, long ago, the <a href="http://scyldandseax.blogspot.fr/2013/09/last-post-from-here.html" target="_blank">'last post from here'</a> which turned out to be the last time that a painted medieval-esque figure graced this blog for a long time. Since then, the Runissians, Kaliads and Kindrarrians have quietly sat in a box, moved flat twice and never used in action.</div>

So hello again bloggers! I've had a lot of false starts recently, and i hope this won't be another one. I've been out of motivation to do anything with my figures, but i had a tiring week so i had a quiet evening painting and i rediscovered the pleasure in sitting down with the paints and plastic.</div>

I made these with the idea to use them as Adepts for my Normedra setting. The Adepts are highly advanced but mysterious group who practically worship technology. They have the best gear and are powerful friends, and deadly enemies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To give them a menacing and mysterious look i gave some figures gas masks. The original idea was to make this group a small band that spend their time looking for old technology decimated ruins, but a rethink of how i wanted them to work might change that. Instead i might use modern or near future figures to represent them (so they have body armour) and instead spread these figures into other groups, perhaps some outlaws or bandits to give them a ragtag look when mixed with figures not wearing gas masks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the moment they're just chaps in masks!</div>

Following from the City State troops in the last post are some of their enemies (or allies in some cases); paramilitary/mercenary troops. These men either raid or defend the smaller settlements not under control of the larger City States, and lead attacks onto City State held lands. They are more numerous than the City States troops, but have less support.</div>

These men represent troops of the City States, the settlements that managed to survive the Reclaiming of Normedra and are beginning to rebuild themselves. They are well armed and uniformed, but their units are generally smaller than their enemies. Their tactics are focused around their squad machine guns and long range rifle fire.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't want a monotonous force in all white, so decided to go for a variety of camouflage styles. There are 3 squads of 8 men each, plus a HQ section of 2 officers and an anti-tank team.</div>

In my Normedra background, the City soldiers defend their own cities as well as smaller settlements such as farms or oil rigs from various enemies. They are well armed with light machine guns and assault rifles, making them tough at long and close range. They also have lots of support options thanks to the City industries. Their main weakness is their lack of numbers, as a few casualties can hurt them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've also done a tank for them. I wanted a battered look, as post-apocalyptic environments aren't kind on vehicles! So i added plenty of scratches and some rolls and oil tanks on the deck, ideal for long drives through the Normedran tundra.</div>

Soon i shall have a camera! So finally i can take some pictures of what i've been painting up recently!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
After the little hiatus, it's time to get back into the saddle of blogging i think, this time with images. Starting from next week, expect more posts around here, it's been all too quiet lately (except for the spam comments, at least 15 recently! Ridiculous).</div>

After being used as a target in a few games of Magic (the card game) i decided to think about wargames instead.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been rather interested in post-apocalyptic settings at the moment, a bit dark i know! But i really like quite dark and gothic sci-fi, such as the Inquisitor part of the 40K universe. As such i created Normedra to allow some creation in this genre, and also i've been playing on Fallout 3 recently too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For my Normedra setting, i'm using the Chain of Command rules and, having a mad imagination that considers everything that goes through it, i thought of possibly using these rules for a Fallout out setting, or smaller scale actions with other figures (WWII included).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcUMeiXEkhx3jT18u6OAtCV1XVWDd31otDNXXG8tDrXICbqjainxnVbJZGyekebAzFBWS1qhYuRYnSsBIECyVI2uU5uzFa661qTwefPf9eEH8w1u70fv9YdW2sUpuQlYJzP4r2vfhngXMx/s1600/Fallout_3_CoC.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcUMeiXEkhx3jT18u6OAtCV1XVWDd31otDNXXG8tDrXICbqjainxnVbJZGyekebAzFBWS1qhYuRYnSsBIECyVI2uU5uzFa661qTwefPf9eEH8w1u70fv9YdW2sUpuQlYJzP4r2vfhngXMx/s320/Fallout_3_CoC.jpg" width="228" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The idea is to basically lower the size from a platoon game to use it with a few less figures (a dozen at least perhaps). This will allow me to use my Normedra figures without having to paint up another platoon, and maybe create a few Fallout characters in 15mm.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also thought of adding a wound system to CoC, based on skimming through the Stargrunt II rulebook. This could be added to a normal CoC game however.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, here are some ideas and notes i have for the moment:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Forces are organised into squads and teams as normal, just less squads or each one with less men.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Perhaps a leader to spend 2 command points to activate a team or squad twice (or could be a force special rule).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Specialized military weapons (machetes, axes, swords...): +1 d6 in assaults per man armed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Wounded men:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When a man is taken out of action by a kill result on the effects table, he might be only wounded. Roll another d6:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-On a 1-3 he is dead and removed as normal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-On a 4-6 he is wounded and laid down. He may not move or fight.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wounded men can be carried by 2 fit soldiers. They can also be treated if friends in 2" do not move for a phase and is not activated. Any number of men may be treated in a single phase. Roll another d6:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-On a 1-2 he is gravely wounded and dies. Remove from the table.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-On a 3-5 he is stabilized and although he cannot fight, he will live and must be evacuated.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-On a 6 he is only stunned and may fight as normal from the next phase on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If a medic is present, +1 to these rolls.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This system is far from perfect, and adds a few more dice rolls to the game, but i thought it might be interesting. In campaigns a force might suffer a moral loss if it leaves wounded friends behind (or no in the case of an unpopular leader!).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Fallout</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In these games each player will lead a band of adventurers, raiders, legionaries... While units would be smaller, the lack of machine guns might make less of an impact on game play. While some missions might be the usual patrols or attack/defend missions, some could be searching and securing supplies and salvage.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Weapons would stay pretty much the same maybe with reduced firepower except at close ranges to conserve ammunition), power armour represented by either adding one level of cover to the target or the possibility of converting a kill to a point of shock on a d6 roll (5+, 4+ depending on type). Again more rolls, i know.</div>

This is the third game i have played while i'm at my parents, and the first when the camera actually worker! In the first game the batteries died on me and the second i forgot! For all the games i used Toofatlardies' Chain of Command platoon level WWII rules, my favorite rules at the moment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In all three games i have used the first forces i made for Normedra, one being a platoon of bandits from the tundra and the other being a small but well armed platoon of soldiers from a city state. The first game was a flank attack with the city state troops attacking and, helped by a tank, drove off the bandits. In the next game the bandits were counter attackig, probing the city states' lines to try and force them back but despite a fire beginning in the middle of the battlefield and a brave assault by a section of bandit elite the attack was thrown back.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The third game in a patrol, with two platoons meeting each other and seeking to force the other back. Below is the lay of the land, the bandit jump off points are at the bottom of the photo, the city state JOPs are at the top.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
As i have no 15mm terrain, the ruin is just a quick knock up from card. Various objects make hills and folds in the ground, perfect cover in the treeless tundra, and the 'wheat fields' are patches of shrubs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The bandits for once start with higher morale so go first. I tweaked their list, allowing them a LMG and lowered their level, allowing them to take more units than the city soldiers. So in this game the city soldiers only had a 50mm mortar for support while the bandits had a light 'universal carrier' with a LMG and an armoured half track. No wonder their morale was higher!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Below a squad of riflemen move into the ruins to deny them to the city soldiers, and the carrier comes under fire from a squad that deployed in the shrubs at the top of the picture.</div>

I used the CoC rules with no major changes, just reduced assault rifles to only firing one shot like normal rifles, but roll 2 extra dice in assaults as normal. With most men being armed with one i guessed things would get very messy at close range, and ammunition would be scare (it is post apocalyptic after all!).</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm in the process of adding some background fluff for this strange place called Normedra, i have an AAR to post up too so the end of December and beginning of January will see some more posts, more than in the past few months perhaps!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyhow, thanks to all who read this blog, and bring on 2014!</div>

No one is sure why humans first landed on Normedra. It happened centuries ago, there exists very few documents from that time and the ones that have survived Normedra's tormented history sit in the libraries of rich and high up philosophers and politicians in Normedra Yski. Most other people have better things to worry about...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://images2.alphacoders.com/283/thumbbig-283692.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="250" src="http://images2.alphacoders.com/283/thumbbig-283692.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before Man came to Normedra, the planet was an icy wasteland, nothing but snow drifts and pack ice. It stayed that way for generations after the first colonists arrived, and it was these who built Normedra's first settlement, Normedra Yski, centered around the immense structure of the landed colony ship. Yski was the light of humanity in the white wastes, until scientists began releasing terraforming gases into the atmosphere in an attempt to warm up the planet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It worked well, for a time at least. The weather warmed up and thousands left the confines of Yski to discover Normedra's riches, but within a hundred years the climate savagely lashed back and threw down the order of the Yski state as the world plummeted into a new ice age.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://images3.alphacoders.com/280/thumbbig-280007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="http://images3.alphacoders.com/280/thumbbig-280007.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The fruit of hundreds of years work and expansion were in vain; Normedra would not be conquered so easily. Many spoke of the world's ancient gods reclaiming their world and punishing Man for his sins, leading to the birth of several cults and religious groups centered around their worship. Whereas before all of Normedra fell under the power of Yski and were ruled by the Kralka, the council of Yski, now there are hundreds of smaller city states as well as many smaller settlements in the forests and tundra that surround the towns.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Normedra Yski, or just Yski, is a huge city. It is by far the largest settlement in the world and will always stay that way. It was first built around the body of a landed colony ship, and even today it's enormous steel and titanium ribs protrude from the ground, reaching into the sky and towering over the ruins around it. It was once the heart of the city, but during the time of the Reclaim the area became dangerous due to radiation and chemicals leaking from the ship, so now it sits slowly rotting, surrounded by abandoned buildings and is considered a holy place for the inhabitants of Yski.<br />
Like many other cities of Normedra Yski is a city state, albeit much bigger. The city and the surrounding land and smaller villages and towns all fall under control of the Kralka, Yski's council. The council sit in the Kralka building, from where it took it's name from, a huge cathedral looking building, a huge menacing building to show all that the dwindling power of Yski is still strong and always will be. It is here that several groups struggle for power and discuss how Yski should be ruled and problems sorted. There are dozens of these political groups, and old ones are dissolved and new ones formed constantly.</div>

Christmas loot!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It seems as if i've gone full circle. The first historical figures i got for Christmas were Flames of War Germans some years ago. Since then i've been on and off several different things, but now i'm back to the beginnings with a box of Volksgrenadiers, though not for World War II.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flamesofwar.com/Portals/0/all_images/german/Boxes/GBX72.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="http://www.flamesofwar.com/Portals/0/all_images/german/Boxes/GBX72.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These figures will be used as a band of mercenaries or bandit raiders for Normedra.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also went to a figure shop in Agen yesterday, and they must of known i was coming for all the Flames of War stuff was at 25% off. I also had a 10% off for a loyalty card, so i treated myself to some T-34's, 3 half-tracks and some universal carriers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think i have enough to get a few forces done for my sci-fi post-apocalyptic world (yes, that's the genre i'm calling it!).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also managed to get a couple of Chain of Command games in while here at my parents, but i took no photos. I'm hoping to get in another one however and there will be pictures!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First of all i wish a Merry Christmas to the readers of this sporadically updated blog, i hope you all have wargaming goodies of some sort.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I returned to my parents for the next two weeks, and of course i can't survive without some of my little men with me so i brought along my latest works to have a game of Chain of Command (hopefully!) with these men against those from the <a href="http://scyldandseax.blogspot.fr/2013/11/photos.html" target="_blank">other post with the warlord</a>, now a band of survivors for my setting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

NCOs, the middle man is straight from the blister, the left hand man has his arm bent down and head turned, and the right hand man is a body swap. I also moved his head slightly. Yes, i manage to convert even my 15mm figures! Not as easy as plastics, but milliput helps cover any mistakes!</div>

I also discovered some 6mm WWII stuff while looking through my lead pile here, but that's for another post!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Oooh! A post!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, for once i actually feel like posting, but i have no decent photos! I am still camera-less for the moment and have been forced to use my computer webcam to take pics of my latest work. I'm almost ashamed by the quality! But hey, it's something!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Firstly, however, i have decided to stop my other blog, and instead stick everything here. It might not please everyone, but i find when i get very 'into' one project or period and i never leave it for a while. So if i have another blog i will completely neglect this one, and i'm rather keen on the 'ol Scyld and Seax.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So Normedra will probably be deleted and all posting will be only here from now on!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now time for the horrid pictures...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, as some readers may know i'm doing this Normedra sort-of-sci-fi idea, perhaps more of a 20th century game in a different world though than true sci-fi. So alternate 20th century then (like Runissia is my alternate medieval!).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After a LOT of thought on what i actually wanted from this project, i decided to go winter on this one. I wanted to give a winter themed army a go, i don't see many of them, and one force might eventually do as a German WWII force (perhaps not all the figures, but some at least i think). I then thought on places, conflicts..., and decided that i would centre my attention on a town in the north of one of Normedra's continents.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The town is ruined and plunged into near arctic conditions, but in the surrounding lands there is oil and minerals that the southern industrial towns and ports need to survive. So merchants send bands of armed men to protect these assets and the all important rail lines against local warlords and bandits who want to control the traffic south.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first platoon i am doing is one of the merchant's 'armed bands'. While not numerous, they are well armed with assault rifles, machine guns and support weapons. Below is a squad, 8 men, and a bazooka/rocket launcher team.</div>

I plan to winter this beast up. In the north, the merchants supply their bands with tanks and other vehicles, often old designs, and in Normedra this will be one. I will add plenty of stowage, extra armour (such as side skirts) and then paint it white and weather it up.</div>

Finally, some conversions, either to go with the warlord's men shown in the last post, or the beginnings of some bandits for the above men to fight against. They are Battlefront Soviets.</div>

This blog has been a bit lacking in photos lately, so this weekend when i visited my parents i brought with me my latest figures, some 15mm for my Normedra world.</div>

After a few weeks of hard labour, i have a week's holiday to rest and recuperate! That means (once homework is done) gaming!!! I'm back a my parents for the week so i might even be able to take some pictures...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, what have i been up to in the wargaming world? Mostly painting and modelling for my Normedra world. I'm rather enjoying working with 15mm figures, they're easy to convert and quick to do and look really cool too. Should i start a new project in the future, i'd probably do it in this scale (not that i'm starting one soon!).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I haven't painted or modeled much in 28mm lately, painting them seems to take a lot longer than 15mm figures. Looking through my pictures on my computer and War of the Roses figures here at my parents i think i shall get back to them soon. I have a box of fireforge cavalry that i waited for an age to arrive and still haven't broke into them yet! So soon i'll be getting some Kaliads and Kindarrians on the painting table soon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Until then, i found these pictures on my computer that i never blogged. They're of a Dux Bellorum battle with my WotR figs i played months ago. I won't comment much but just so you have some pictures to look at :-P</div>

Right, done it! Took me some time and a couple of re-writes but now it's here, a little into to this Normedra that i keep talking about to get the ball rolling.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I will be starting another blog soon, keeping this one for medieval/Runissia and general stuff, while Normedra gets it's own space. Anyway...</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Normedra was a ripe
fruit ready for picking. During Man’s leap into the stars they discovered many
planets, one of them being Normedra A cold planet but rich in minerals and
other raw materials, it was quickly set upon by many who saw possibilities in
the planet’s riches. Terraforming gases were pumped into the atmosphere,
bringing up the temperatures and animals and plants were set down to turn
Normedra into a new Earth. Within a few years there were hundreds of colonies
all over Normedra and raw and finished goods were being exported far and wide.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The dream could not
last forever. Slightly over a hundred years after the first colonists landed on
the surface, the terraforming backfired. Pack ice that had once covered much of
the planet suddenly melted, provoking massive floods that covered many lowland
regions and caused mass panic and flight to highland areas. The climate also
changed, snapping back to being cold and hostile, and in the fear and panic,
the companies that financed and kept Normedra alive pulled out and caused the
economy to collapse.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
As soon as the
colonists had arrived, their grandchildren fled as best they could, often off
planet until a terrorist attack destroyed the main space port. Some still fled
on the sporadic freighters that arrived but as time went on the ships took
longer and longer to return, until they never came back and left the rest to
face Normedra’s vengeance.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
What followed the ‘Great
Flood’ is a sort of ‘dark age’, many factories and other infrastructures that
had allowed the Normedrans to live comfortably fell into disuse and the land
splintered into microstates, bickering to survive as the weather plummeted,
killing many.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Thankfully, after
four years the weather began to improve, and the survivors can now look to
rebuild what had been lost. Factories and mines can be reopened, farm land
cultivated and towns rebuilt. In the areas deserted during the mass exodus
there lies a mass of hidden treasures that nature has claimed back; blocked
mine shafts, machines buried in caves or hidden under masses of undergrowth,
functioning power stations or plasma cores waiting to be tapped into, or even
underground factories that survived unscathed by rain and snow.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The Vikula Continent
is a large landmass in the northern hemisphere of Normedra. A mountain range
runs down the centre of the island, north to south and the surrounding lands
are hilly and wooded. Away from the hills the land is flatter, with plains and
rolling hills dominating the rest of the continent. There were many mining
stations, towns and ports before the Great Flood, but many were abandoned and
are now lost in forest or buried under rubble and snow.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The climate is tundra,
below 0 in the winter and no warmer than 30 C in the summer, with an average
temperature of -3 in the winter and 20 in summer. In the south it is slightly
warmer, but not by much.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b>The Brovdo Plain</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Once covered in
settlements, roads and rail lines, the Brovdo Plain is now empty of much human
life. Other than small settlements that live off the land, perhaps using old
machinery they had managed to salvage, much of the Plain has been claimed back
by nature and is covered in vast forests and rolling hills. Only one city still
remains, Brovtir, once a massive industry city where ore was sent from the
mines to be refined, made into bars and sent south to the southern ports for export.
It is still an industrialised city now, but far smaller and surrounded with
slums and ruins.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
During the Great
Flood, millions fled the Plain, going south to find a boat going south to
escape the weather. Many did not make it as blizzards caused havoc on roads and
railways and in the chaos some took advantage of the situation to loot anything

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b>Brovdo’s treasure</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Despite nature’s
corrosion and looting over the years after the Great Flood, there is still a
mass of valuable finds to be found in the Plain. Abandoned factories or
shopping centres, old mines or oil fields, lines of trucks waiting to take
their goods south with their trailers still full, given time anyone could find
something.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Because of this, many
gravitate towards the Plain; the young, the old, the poor, the desperate, the
glory hunters, people looking for a new start or wanting more than life dealt them,
all are drawn to the promises of money and a reputation. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b>Bands in the Plains</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
It is a foolish
person who goes into the Plain alone, and many gather in bands and go searching
for these treasures. Together they will purchase some vehicles to travel around
in and to carry finds, weapons to protect themselves and their loot or alternately
steal the loot of others or raid their factories and settlements they have set
up or hold sway over. Such bands can number from a dozen men to a hundred,
depending on the leader’s reputation and success, as well as means to keep his
men supplied with food, fuel and ammunition. Most however are between 20 and 40.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Vehicles are extremely
precious in the Plain; a band with no transport is stranded, and in the vast
distances of the Plain going on foot might not be the best option, or not even
an option all together. It is not unknown for bands to disappear in the Plain
after losing their transport through lack of fuel or being crippled by rivals.
Many vehicles are trucks or jeeps, perhaps lightly armoured with a machine gun
or two for protection, whereas some bands acquire APCs, halftracks, scout cars,
or even tanks. Such vehicles might be salvaged from some ruins, captured and
repaired after a successful raid, bought from a mechanic at Brovtir or another
settlement or might even be scratch built by the band if they have the machines
and expertise. As such, vehicles in the Plain can take on many shapes and appearances.<o:p></o:p></div>

Well, i got my student money through the other day, and after living through September spending little i (literally) went to town this weekend and decided to treat myself. Other than the essentials, i also got these...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, not some butter, it's what's inside that counts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So to go with my Bolt Action purchase (that came today, need to go back to my parents this weekend to fetch it and some other things) i bought a couple of platoons of Flames of War Soviets to be turned into soldiers for my Normedra setting.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the butter container were some more Soviets that my sister brought over for me (she visited this weekend) so i have around 100 figures to muck around with!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So what am i going to do with these? Well i'm planning to create 2 or 3 bands of adventurers, mercenaries and militia men that will inhabit Normedra searching for money and fights. More fluff and background stuff in the next post, it'll all make sense soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Vehicles are an important part to the bands in Normedra, mainly for transport, so Sunday i went to a vide-grenier (car boot sale) and found these:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
'Debus!'</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will add some spare parts i have hanging around (another reason to go back this weekend), mainly adding a cupola and .50cal machine gun i have left over from building Shermans. It then needs a good paint.</div>

Also the name of a Bullet for my Valentine song...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, what's this all about. Well, two things, the first breaking out and the second breaking down (in a way).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First up for <b>breaking out</b>, i built something! Started another horseman, perhaps another Kindarrian to accompany the lord shown a couple of posts ago. It is perhaps the worst picture i have ever taken as i'm using my computer's web cam (really need to go into town and get myself a cheap camera!!!) but you get the idea, at least sort of.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Perry mounted body on Fireforge legs, cut up and added a mail hauberk showing below the breastplate. The horse also has the rear covered to show he is part of the lord's household retinue, but i might give him his own symbols, using blue as a common colour though. Hmmm...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTFYSd1xf3v_tpoJrGWDXl9o8NQZ92aXM-UA-PGvE92SeVma9G0ZhHTfe45OkM7f9Jy8B-nqn3mEmyN7yE2_ea3N_ZGrVAWM_JHRor96g_8wPOsk83hnn8eGyBrK19PwjCYut-tWnd8PX-/s1600/TPhoto_00003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTFYSd1xf3v_tpoJrGWDXl9o8NQZ92aXM-UA-PGvE92SeVma9G0ZhHTfe45OkM7f9Jy8B-nqn3mEmyN7yE2_ea3N_ZGrVAWM_JHRor96g_8wPOsk83hnn8eGyBrK19PwjCYut-tWnd8PX-/s400/TPhoto_00003.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also have another on the workbench, being the Fireforge body on Perry legs, either to make a lighter Kindarrian or a mounted crossbowman for the Kaliads (i need a second to make a light horse base for Dux Bellorum).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also <b>breaking out</b>, i <strike>have been thinking about ordering</strike> just ordered the Bolt Action book. Although i haven't played WWII for a time, i was tempted for a couple of reasons;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://thegaminggang.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Bolt-Action-rulebook.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://thegaminggang.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Bolt-Action-rulebook.jpg" width="266" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. I've wanted to try them, and i have a German and Soviet force for Flames of War that i could use. I have enough for a small force in FoW but should be a lot bigger in BA. They're multi-based, but that's not a big deal. I have German paras, grenadiers and plenty of panzers while for the Soviets i have a small battalion/large company with snipers, AT rifles and some tanks, not enough for FoW but in BA you only have a tank or two at most so that's no problem.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. If this Normedra idea flourishes, i thought of using BA for the games. As for figures, i have some spare Soviet infantry, badly painted and not based so they will be found, cut up and converted with miliput to create some men for this new world of mine. I was thinking of using FoW but decided against it (i could still use FoW later though, as i have the rules already).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This means i'll be playing in 15mm, which i prefer. Seeing other blogs who have done this (such as firemonkeyboy at <a href="http://themonkeythatwalks.blogspot.fr/">http://themonkeythatwalks.blogspot.fr/</a>) i like the look, distances are better (not perfect, but better) and i wanted to try something smaller. At the club i go to, most people use 20mm minis, my 28's look like giants next to them! I also wanted to test out converting and painting on some smaller guys/</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And 28mm tanks are ridiculous to me!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And <b>breaking down</b> because i've got a nice shiny idea in mind, and i fell to temptation and got these rules! However, i will not be buying more figures just yet, but when i do i'm thinking of getting some plastic soldier company tanks and converting them for my Normedra setting. All this and still continuing my Runissia setting, of course.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Normally i loath doing two ideas at once, but then again staying stuck on one think can lead to 'having too much of a good thing' and spoil it. We'll see.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I should perhaps begin this Normedra blog then? Or at least start a brief intro here? Next post perhaps.</div>

Not much, at least in a wargaming sence!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been at uni for a couple of weeks now, getting use to the long days and having to cook your food and wash your cloths. It's all good but in the evenings i've mostly listened to music, watched videos or played on the computer to wind down. I've painted a Kaliad horseman and started two foot figures, but i haven't been feeling that motivated to get the paints out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did, however, go to the Bordeaux wargames club!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I played in a couple of games, one two weeks ago and the other yesterday. The first was a big (very big!) ancients game using rules for a board game that the club members converted to use with figures. I was on the mycenian's side against the indians in a 2 vs 2 game. I was tasked with holding the right flank against a bunch of indian cavalry, easy!</div>

A great big hole in the line!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yesterday i played a game of Necromunda, a warhammer 40k skirmish game where each player controls a gang and fights for supremacy. I took an Orlock gang against a small band of Van saar (10 vs 5) and i was confident in winning, even if the van saar had 2 missile launchers!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The table, looking towards my enemy's deployment. I had to go for him, under fire from the missile launchers, and somehow dislodge him even if he was hiding and on overwatch. Later on the van saar ran out of missile ammo but i was battered and bloodied, failed to kill his leader twice and bottled out.</div>

Luckily though, none of my men were killed so i'll be back for some more soon! And this time for a win!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Even if i haven't painted much, i've been doing some idea creating though (always creating!).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The world is called Normedra, an ice world colonised by humans during their reach into the stars. However, after natural disasters and economic failure, the planet is pulled back to an early-mid 20th century sort of technology level and fractured into smaller nations. I concentrated on a continent, the Vikula Continent, particularly on the Brovdo Plain where bands of adventurers and nomads seek out lost settlements, mining towns and farm land, and fighting off rivals at the same time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just (another) idea for the moment, i thought if i can be bothered to start a new blog about it then i would continue it, if not note it down and leave it for later.</div>

Last day at home, and last post from here too as tomorrow i'm moving out to Bordeaux. I'll have a nice little room all to myself, internet and about a 4x4 foot square to play some games on the floor. There's a club there too so i'll be frequenting that often.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The only thing is that i don't have a camera, so unless i use a club mate's photos i will not be posting any, so i'll use this time to explain more about Runissia and it's enemies.</div>

I've tried to put the newer ones nearer the front so you can see them.</div>

I've done his banner bearer, so i thought it was about time i started on the actual Kindarrian commander!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The horse was shown some posts ago. For the actual commander i've only done limited conversion, with the plume and aventail/camail. I was messing around with the pose for ages, cutting up arms and trying to make him point forward, but in the end i plumped for the 'pointing his lance in the air' pose.</div>

The lance needs to be glued on, but it makes him top heavy so i'll wait until all is dry!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was also considering adding a cloak, but i think it looks fine without, might look too 'busy' otherwise.</div>

This is how it'll look when glued (i'm holding it on, hand is out of shot).</div>
