Choices of the week#25

Oh the shame! Oh the horror! Once again I forgot to do my review last week. Well, blogging is seriously disrupted by the major event of the moment, and I admit watching a lot of games on TV. Besides, I 've had some administrative stuff to do, related to my next year temporary new job. I'll be finally able to teach in front of classes! Hurray!

Quelle honte! Je vais me flageller avec des orties fraiches pour expier ma faute: ne pas avoir publié ma revue de blogs la semaine dernière. Certes il y a les matchs de coupe du monde a regarder, et je dois me preparer pour mon nouveau boulot de remplaçant l'an prochain, mais ce ne sont pas des excuses.



As usual, we'll start with the batreps:
First, a nice game of Pulp Alley:

Then, another game of SAGA, with Normans:

A bit of Franco-Prussian war in 6mm. It's in German, but the terrain is lovely:

And another FPW baterp over here:

A game of All quiet on the Martian front. If I have the money and space, I'll definitely have a go:

Dad's army anyone? Germany invades England in 1940:

A stunning ACW batrep. Maybe my pick of the week, though a lot of stuff is eye-catching this week:

Next, we have a lovely 28mm English railway station, entirely scatrchbuilt:
