August 16th/17th. Paint your miniatures in a 24 hr marathon for charity! Donate here: https://www.justgiving.com/IronMan-III

I guess that most of you browsing blogs, like me, do a lot of hooby stuff, so I'd especially love some of the bloggers out there to get involved. And please share our facebook page. 



You can join us at Firestorm Games in Cardiff, or you can paint from home. Be sure to tell us what you are painting and get some pics taken of the finished work. Here's a summary:

1/ A 24 hour painting marathon for charity. Save the Children works in 120 countries (inc. the UK) mainly in South America, Asia, the Middle East and Africa - http://www.savethechildren.org.uk/about-us/what-we-do

2/ Paint soldiers for yourself or contribute to painting an army for auctioning off. Each participant raises £10+ or does a stint on the charity army at Firestorm Games. You pledge to paint a project set by you. It may be a unit of figures, it may be 60 hoplites. Whatever. Get some family members to sponsor you. Chuck some money in yourself.

3/ If you can't make it, set yourself a painting target and get it done at home. Chuck your £10+ in or gain sponsorship.

4/ August 16/17th. Start time 12 noon.

So please dig deep and donate now.

A big playtesting session for (working title) Rules of Engagement: Iron Cross. We played a meeting engagement on a very large (five 6'x4' tables) with German and British forces contesting several objectives around the village of Cuverville. Some more pics and AAR over on the faceache page: https://www.facebook.com/greatescapegames.co.uk?ref=tn_tnmn
