Het bijbeltje dat paus Priestley met kardinaal John Lambshead schreef over tabletop wargames (Tabletop Wargames - A Designers & Writers Handbook) krijgt geen werkelijk warm onthaal op Meeples & Miniatures. M&M was al eerder vrij kritisch over het boek:

De verkeerde populisten van de Amsterdamse populistische pro-oorlogspartij Amsterdam6shooters wonnen weer fiks bij de bijeenkomsten in de afgelopen zes weken.
Deze populist bijvoorbeeld streed tegen de Franse overheersing, en is daarmee anti-Europa.
The Perry Brothers are walking a new path: 8mm 'battle in a box'.
Holland heeft geen Roze Balletten, Dutroux, Manneken Pis, Tin Soldiers of Antwerp of Crisis. Holland heeft Wargame Biertje met Spel, haring, Spinoza, een zootje wargamende mafketels die elkaar van de tafel dobbelen en Poldercon. Juist, Poldercon. Wat trouwens ook een beetje Patrickcon is, en Pijliecon, en Petercon, of eigenlijk Buddycon. Het was weer tijd voor wat testspelletjes.
Financial analysts are happy with the latest Games Workshop financial results. Half year financials looked fine, Harriet Russell from the Financial Times wrote (January 13, 2017):
We gingen 2017 met frisse moed in. Koud was het. Heel koud.
Binnen was het nog Kerst.
We dachten aan De Genestet, want we zijn poëten in het Amsterdamsche.
O land van mest en mist, van vuilen, kouden regen, doorsijperd stukske grond, vol killen dauw en damp,
I have always been happy with GW/Citadel paints. Two hundred years ago, I switched from Humbrol enamel to oil paint (great colors). A century ago I switched to the nearly-as-bright Citadel colours (quick drying). We were happily married ever after.
Deltavector wrote a short blog about simple (15mm) painting techniques modified for 28mm miniatures.
Extreme highlights. Dark basecoats. Some good examples. I recommend his article.
Het was redelijk vol afgelopen zaterdag, 10/12/16:
Zie boven. Ze wilden allemaal Bolt Action.
Gunst, ja, De wil van het volk is heilig. Dus we hadden veel Bolt Action.
Heel veel Bolt Action, eigenlijk.
In my role as hobbyblogger and überenthousiastic volunteer wargames reporter I stumbled upon three very recent, very different reviews of Priestley/Lambshead book about wargame rules design, that I'd like to share.
Chaosbunker was pretty enthusiastic:
Ebay is weird. GW is weird. This hobby is weird. But this is the zenith of weirdness.
Blog Tiny Hordes published an extensive review of Freejumper last month, a Sci-Fi-battle ship wargame, with cards & miniatures. Other Sam Mustafa games (Blücher, Maurice, FPGA)have excellent mechanics. This is his first SF game ever.

Blogger and wargamer JD Glasco wrote a beautiful sad story about the decline of American historical wargaming, in reply to remarks about a decline made by the American wargame designer Sam Mustafa in a podcast.
I've always loved history and what ifs. I don't like war, but I like wargaming, for many reasons. Now that Fidel died, he, the last remnant of the Cold War, I thought about combining it. A Bay of Pigs wargame.
