Kanal movie

This is a Polish 1956 movie focused on a company of Polish resistance fighters near the end of the Warsaw Uprising in 1944.  I just finished watching this movie and recommend it.  I previously watched the movie Katyń, also directed by the same Director Andrzej Wajda, so thought I would see what this movie was like.  The movie is gritty and you feel like you are right in the action.  First time I've seen a German attack using goliathes in a movie.  The German tanks leave much to be desired though.  Not a lot of action scenes, but still a good movie.  Katyń is a good movie as well.

Introduction

Well...looks like I am late to the wargaming blog game, although I have had a website from 1997.  So why have I decided to start my own blog.  I guess I am influenced by many fellow gamers out there that I have their own wargame blogs and I have seen lots of useful information from them.  I have also recently stepped down as our wargaming club secretary where I edited the monthly newsletter.  I figure I could probably pass along some useful information as well.  I doubt I'll be passing along much painting tips as their are many better painters out there.

My focus has been more on the obscure historical battles not the mainstream battles/wars.  Almost all the scenarios I do are actual historical battles.  I don't mind playing hypethetical scenarios, but it is not my thing.  I try my best to paint up everything historic to the battle.

The periods that I am intereted in range mainly from post-Napoleonic to Vietnam War.  I focus mainly on Colonial and WWII.  I do have Medieval, Renaissance and Napoleonic miniatures though.  I have naval and ground forces.  No air-to-air specific models.

Miniature scale wise, I focus on 10 to 15mm for ground forces and then a mix for naval.  I actually painted up my first 25/28mm scale miniatures.  Still not a fan, but I'll paint up a few for skirmish games.

No guarentees how frequently I will be posting, but I hope to share a bunch of good information.
