About the Project
For the past few years I've been running my wargames blog at https://hntdaab.co.uk/blog, cranking out a post a week talking about Ultramodern Wargaming (post 2001ish). Topics vary, from looking at recent releases and older ranges to tactics to battle reports (when I can get a game in).

RANGE IMPRESSION: EMPRESS US ARMY INFANTRY
This week’s post is now up! Rolling on from last week’s Strykers, we’re taking a look at the Empress US Infantry range.
“When going back to do my Range Impression on the Empress SAS, I found myself delving into the release history of Empress. Which of course reminded me of their second release set, the US Army Infantry. Having just finished the Strykers, now seemed the perfect time to get the last couple of figures finished and take a look at this range.”

IMPRESSIONS: EMPRESS STRYKER ICV AND MGS
This week’s post is up! We’re taking a look another vehicle for all you US Army fans, the Styker ICV and MGS from Empress.
“Playing as US force in Ultramodern tabletop wargaming is like being a kid with a box of toys. There are so many options that are available! On one side, you could be rolling around in technicals as SF advisers alongside local troops. Alternatively, you could break out the heavy metal and plonk the Bradleys and Abrams on the table. An interesting option is to roll out with a Stryker Brigade Combat Team and all the vehicles it includes.”

The schedule for every week is:
Monday: Wargaming Week – My hobby update and Ultramodern Wargaming News
