The Miller's Tale - Episode 14

Episode 14, in which Mike gets to have a guest back again! Yes, it's James Morris, back again to explain how Midgard Heroic Battles has been going, what's planned for the future and why you should order Chronicles of Midgard (you really should, even if it's past the end of preorders!).

• James' website: mogsymakes.net
• James on social media: Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram and probably mogsymakes anywhere else you can think of!
• James and Clarkey talk Chronicles of Midgard
• Where you can buy it!
• Mead Price rules
• Britcon 2026 Lard Workshop
• Hastings 960. Mad! Mad, I tell you!

To apologise again, due to pressures of work, I failed to get this edited before Salute, so you are sadly too late to preorder Chronicles, for which I am truly sorry. That said, it is a fabulous campaign supplement, and you really should...

2025

"The Taking of Linnius", a Dux Britanniarum
battle scenario at Posh Lard 2025

Full marks to the astute who will have noticed that I set myself no hobby goals for 2025 :D This was largely because the house was a complete mess, the kitchen was still in a state of construction...

That said - things achieved in 2025 

• worked all weekend at UK Games Expo on the Catalyst events tables: ran a bunch of demos of BattleTech Aces, which was a brilliant laugh
• did various show games for the club
• still chairman (and probably will be this year, since the club seem to have realised that if they vote me out, someone else has to do the job).
• Wednesday paint-n-bitch sessions chez us continue to great success 
• had several excellent guests on The Miller's Tale
• ran another Posh Lard, including a revisit to Dux Britanniarum for the first time in a while
• helped with another successful Hereward Wargames Show
• didn't make any progress on the Compendium (this year for sure!)
• painted lots of BattleMechs
• made a start (admittedly a small one) on some Warlord Epic ACW Union infantry
• built a whole load of MDF buildings for Epic ACW
• added a bunch of racking to the workshop and mostly got everything sorted onto it
• figured out slapchop, to considerable success.

Outside of the hobby:

• Anne retired at the end of November
• I didn't :D
• Lost Anne's mum (in truth, we lost her to Alzheimer's several years ago)
• Finally got the new kitchen fully sorted.
• No more water has entered the house where it shouldn't.
