I finished painting up my first batch of T-72. I thought I'd show off some of the new Team Yankee models. Sorry the pictures are a little dark. I got a new camera for Christmas, and I'm still figuring out the settings.

Napoleon Versus Gandalf Versus Math (or Why Games Workshop Keeps Failing)
By CaulynDarr
Sandwyrm and I have been using the Nottingham Style as short hand for everything we don't like coming out of, well, the game designers in Nottingham. After Sandwyrm's recent critique of Gates of Antares and a run through of my copy of Warmaster: Ancients. I think I've finally quantified what it is about these game systems that often leave me unsatisfied. And it all has to do with History.
