Read the book; play the game

Many think about writing a book—I have several in mind—but few actually bring it to reality. Not so our sometime guest blogger Phil Ball, who now runs his own blog. He wrote the book, had it published and has now played a game that it inspired!

Phil does solo wargaming using mainly 1/72nd scale figures, beautifully painted, and wonderful scratch-built terrain. This game was no exception, featuring beach terrain, a spruced-up toy ship and a telegraph "made from a drinking straw, a couple of cocktail sticks and some wine bottle foil"!

You can see before and after photos of this ship on Phil's blog. Note the addition of the sailor in the rigging!

The full account of the action is on his blog. It's a d@mned fine looking game, hence the plug, but also as his blog does not yet seem to have been 'found' by many of you.  C'mon, DYSAF*!
(*do yourself a favour)

Well done Phil.
