  • Das war der Holmgang 2016

    Das war der Holmgang 2016

    Wenn Wraith ruft, folgen die SAGA-Spieler einmal mehr und sammeln sich zum Holmgang in Mutterstadt. Mit 16 Startern war das Feld in diesem Jahr aufgrund von diversen kurzfristigen Absagen zwar etwas kleiner, allerdings waren einige Neueinsteiger sowohl für SAGA als auch für Turniere am Start. Das freute mich sehr, zeigt es doch, dass neue Leute ins Hobby finden können.

    Besonderen Augenmerk legt Wraith auf die Szenarien, die auch in diesem Jahr individuell angepasst und ganz im SAGA Stil waren. Für mich ist das Turnier ein Pflichttermin.

    By chance my wife went on the castle hill in Budapest on the Honvéd nap, which can be translated as the day of the hungarian Defence Force. The event took place on the 21st of April. It was a short event with some military music, a small parade of the cavalry and infantry and some shots out of a replica cannon which is located in the narby Military Museum.

    Stupid me – I did not join my wife to visit the castle hill and missed the event. But she did very well to take a lot of pictures with the camera of her sister. As an miniature painter it is very interesting to see real pictures of military of former times since we have developed a phantasy way of imagining soldiers which sometimes interferes with reality.

    Especially horse eyes are an example. I often see painted horses which remind me of „My Little Pony“ Illustrations. I think it is very interesting to look at real animals and persons in order to paint more lifelike.

  • Sommerwind 2010

    Sommerwind 2010

    For the first time I visited at the end of may my first Flames of War event in Germany. The community of www.flamesofwar.de met somewhere in the countryside in the middle of nowhere near Fulda. The event was planned and perfectly executed by Hotwing, an well nown player living near Hamburg. The event attracted Players from all over the country, gaming clubs from Hamburg, Hannover, Köln, Braunschweig, Ludwigshafen, Saarbrücken, Frankfurt and more.

    The 30 participants played two campaigns, one Mid War Campaign and one brand new Battlefrontcampaign. Moreover there were several Big Battles at Saturday evening. My gaming club Spieltrieb Frankfurt showed two of our Tactica Gaming Tables the „Road to Messina“ and the „Tunisia Wadi“ tables, which were shown on the famous german Tabletop event in Hamburg in 2008 and 2009.

    The Sommerwind 2010 was an excellent experience since I got to know a lot of people who played in an really easy and relaxed way far away from beeing too competetive. Mister_Pink may be an exeption 😉 but I like to play with guys who kill their dice. Especially mid war players wanted to laugh and have fun. The good food and drinks made it easy to play in a good mood.

    Our club agreed to come again next year to this really nice event. Thanks to Hotwing for organising Sommerwind for the third time!
