About Me

My photo
London, United Kingdom, United Kingdom
A mythical beast - a female wargamer! I got back into wargaming in the summer of 2011 after a very, very long break and haven't looked back since. I must admit that I seem to be more of a painter/collector than a gamer, but do hope to correct that at some point in the near future. My gaming interests span the ages, from the "Biblical" era all the way through to the far future. I enjoy games of all sizes, from a handful of figures up to major battles (see my megalomaniacally sized Choson Korean and Russian Seven Years War armies).

100k Prize Draw - Day 2

Campaign 2013 Individual Results

I've seen the spreadsheet of individual results from Campaign and I came 32nd out of 38. If I hadn't made a very silly mistake in my last turn of my last game, I might have been 30th. Oh well, lesson learnt (but more than likely forgotten by the next tournament).


Secret Project

I did a little bit of work for the remaining Secret Project last night, playing with Milliput for the first time. I'll say no more and let you keep guessing what it all is. I might get a bit more done on it this evening.


100K Prize Draws

Well, the response to yesterday's prize has been astounding. Clearly that was a good choice of prize as so many of you want it! Remember - there are still 6 days to comment


I was originally planning a single prize for today, but I've realised that I'd forgotten about those followers who like the mass effect of 6mm. So, there are two prizes on offer today.

A) £21 of metal (of your choice) from Ground Zero Games. Rather than offering a specific item (or set of items), the lucky winner can simply email me a list of what products they want and I will order them for delivery to their door.
Now, £21 might not seem much but it will buy an Intro Fleet plus an extra ship or two or enough 15mm figures for a reinforced infantry platoon.

B) a £25 gift voucher for Baccus 6mm (this may be an electronic voucher rather than physical).


For this draw, please indicate which prize(s) you want to be entered for when you comment!

Edit for Clarification
You can, of course, enter for either prize or both, but do make it clear in your comment(s).

Edit to Add


OK, the rulesy-stuff:

1. You must be a public follower of this blog
2. Each draw will be open for 7 days and then the winner will be chosen at random from all entries
3. Every comment on the post will count as 1 entry in the draw (eg 5 comments = 5 entries)
4. Linking to the draw on your own blog will earn you an extra 5 entries for the prize in question
5. You can transfer your prize to someone else if you wish

  1. I could find a good home for more GZG vehicles! A most generous offer. Mostly d I'd better not sample another scale!

    You will be blogged, in a moment!

  2. Wow, those are amazingly generous prizes! I would love to go in the draw for 6mm Baccus please. There are lots of Austrians at Baccus HQ that need to be mine...

    ReplyDelete
  3. Very generous. Baccus minis are awesome.

  4. Put me down for the GZG and if I win will you let Fran have it?

    I put my name down for you on Seb's and it worked a charm. Fingers crossed for Fran!

  5. Thats incredibly generous Tamsin. Always fancied getting into GZG NAC or Nu Swabian etc...

  7. GZG are a must! - lots of lovely figs in their range!

  8. Because recently I keep finding myself looking at the Baccus site

  9. I'm mighty tempted to either start a 6mm version of my Game of Thrones project

    ReplyDelete
  10. or start a Mighty Empires style project using 6mm figures

    ReplyDelete
  11. If I can't enter more than once though, just ignore this. (Except for one of them)

  12. An interesting choice of prizes. A decision to be made, which will be based on an projectvthat is in its infancy at present.

    Cheers, Ross

    ReplyDelete
  13. These are some incredibly generous prizes! I could definitely use some 6mm reinforcements.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Having had a wee thought on it, it would have to be Baccus 6mm. Command in Colours looks great with the massed effects of 6mm.

    Cheers,
    Ross

  19. Actually 21 pounds sounds like a very generous offer (sorry no L symbol on my keyboard). I need to get some of the GZG Full Thrust starships for 5150 Star Navy.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Oooooo.... GZG, I think. Yes please.

    ReplyDelete
  21. The GZG please. That would be grand.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Tasmin, this is crazy generous of you. I'd like to join the cool kids in throwing a ticket in for the raffle for a little bit of Baccus. I also posted a few links to your site. Congrats on the 100K hits!

    ReplyDelete
  23. As others have already said, that's damned generous of you Tamsin!! Please put my name in the hat for both!

  25. Small scale gaming is beckoning me! I've been watching Ground Zero Game models ever since I caught wind of the Gruntz game. GZG. Thanks for the chance to win.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Well Tamsin As you saw on my blog yesterday I do want a NAC intro fleet, or some more 15mm Stargrunt. So this could be the perfect time for me. Please enter me in the GZG draw list.

    I'll mention the draw on my blog when I post on Saturday.

  31. Please enter me into the draw Tamsin. Doesn't matter which one as I have a bunch of GZG stuff that needs reinforcing, and I have been oogling the Baccus stuff for quite some time too.

  32. Excellent choices Tamsin, and very generous prizes it has to be said...

    I think I'd like to be entered into the draw for the Baccus 6mm stuff. I like the look of some of their scenery. They do a very nice set of North Africa Buildings, amongst other things.

  35. Hi Tamsin,

    somehow I feel needled to send every word as its own posting...
    But call me canny or old-fashioned since I don't. ;-)

    However again many congrats for breaking the 100K sonic wall and good luck for the next 100K!

    I mentioned you raffle on my blog here:
    http://montys-caravan.blogspot.de/2013/05/blogosphere-news-tamsin-cracked-100000.html

    Please put me in for both prizes. To scale which I haven't tried yet but which are both alluring... ;-)

    Cheers

  40. Oh, and I've pimped your draw again;)

    ReplyDelete
  41. Right, a poem:

    The Austrians at Baccus quietly slept
    and dreamed of a far better day,
    when the Dux Homunculorum would write to Pete
    and whisk them off far away.
    Away to the land of bright blue skies
    where they would know kindness and paint,
    And stand in neat ranks
    Next to numerous tanks
    With never a sigh of complaint.

    That's got to be worth a couple of entries?!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Ooh, please throw me into the draw Tamsin, I've been eyeing up GZG's 6mm sci-fi line for the last month!

    ReplyDelete
  43. And although I can't compete with the Dux's poetry, here's a joke...

    A doctor has made a habit of going into a certain bar after work, and ordering a hazelnut daiquiri. He's been doing this for so long, at the same time, that by now the barman always has his drink waiting. However, today the barman realises that he has no Hazelnuts! So he quickly whips together a daiquiri out of some hickory nuts he has lying about. Right on time, the doctor walks in, and take a sip of his drink. "Barman", he says, "this doesn't taste right" the barman replies, "that's because it's a hickory daiquiri, doc"

  48. I always wanted to paint some 6mm samurai

    ReplyDelete
  49. Hi, Tamsin. I'm in for the Baccus voucher, please, although if my wargaming luck is anything like it was at Campaign, I'll probably end up owing YOU a prize.[In one combat, my opponent rolled 4 dice, needing 5+ to hit. I was rolling 5 dice, needing 4+ to hit, re-rolling 1s. He scored 4 hits to my 1. (As Ronnie Barker once said in an episode of Porridge, "If Raquel Welsh had triplets, I'd be the one on the bottle") ]

    ReplyDelete
  50. thanks for all the entries folks - keep 'em coming! :)

  76. Congratulations on hitting 100K page views, Tamsin, and well done on your FOG exploits - if you check back at your earlier posts, you'll see how well you're doing now.

    If, perchance, I make the draw, I'd love to be considered for the GZG prize - I need to get some more armour for my Marines (UNSC) and Vargr (using Kra'Vak grav vehicles with Critical Mass Games Protolene Khanate).
