Bolt Action Tournament: Table Shots

Well, we had a huge series of cancels and no shows. I know several people was sick or had family obligations that prevented them from making the event. Such as life. Still we had a nice turnout of 8 players and we are getting a great deal of photo shots from photographers that are taking shots and I have had the oppertunity to promote the game for future events and has caught the eye of various people.

Here are some shots of the table setup...all in all it was a huge contribution by the community and simply amazing support here that made these great looking tables possible.

Blame Hitler for Crystal Meth

Read this article the other day, the TBT didn't have an online version but I did find another that had the same content.

Post here for ease:

Pervitin Hitler Used Crystal Meth to Keep Soldiers Awake On the Front Lines

Ever wondered why the Nazis are zombies in Call of Duty? Turns out that the Wehrmacht, Germany’s World War II army, distributed millions of Pervitin tablets, or “Panzerschokolade” (“tank chocolate”) as it was known, to soldiers on the front to boost their awareness and energy levels. You may know Pervitin by its modern name, methamphetamine, or crystal meth.

Letters have been found from soldiers, including Nobel Prize in literature winner Heinrich Boll, writing home for the “alertness aid” Pervitin. Boll’s letter dated May 20, 1940, contains a request: "Perhaps you could obtain some more Pervitin for my supplies?" He claims that they were as effective at keeping him awake as several cups of coffee, and helped him temporarily forget the trials and terrors of war.

Known as a “miracle pill,” Pervitin was popularized in the 1930s by Berlin-based company Temmler Werker. Hitler himself was known to have taken daily injections of the methamphetamine from 1942 until his death in 1945. In a four month span in 1940 more than 35 million three-milligram doses of Pervitin were manufactured for the German army and air force.

This practice continued after the war, with Temmler Werke distributing the pills to both the East and West German armies. It wasn’t until the 1970s that the West Germans removed the drug, and until 1988 for the East.

Today the hazards of such drugs are well known. Although users initially experience an intensely pleasurable high and energy surge, the drug wreaks havoc on brain function, often leading to anxiety, confusion, insomnia, mood disturbances, violent behavior, paranoia, visual and auditory hallucinations and delusions.

Shell Holes Part 2

I took some caulk and edged off where the clay and the CD was glued together. I also used a casting kit to make a few extra cows and horses. They was glued to the base along with sand. A quick black primer, a brown base coat, a dry brush around the brown. Prior to this, I took a grey primer and sprayed the hole lightly to quickly finish it off. I then lightly drybrushed a grey around it. After I painted the animals anad added flock I was done! Cheap and easy with a decent result.
