In was supposed to be a special Christmas message for channel members...bit i'm clearly loosingvthebplot bevuase I put it on public release instead! Lets call this a 'bonus video' and ignore my mistake 🤪
In this video I dive into one of my new winter hobby projects and share some heartfelt thanks with the Miniature Adventurers who help keep the channel going. As part of the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge, I’m collaborating once again with my friend Ray on a brand-new historical wargaming project set during the Winter War of 1939–40.
In this video, I explain why we chose the Winter War, how it connects to our ongoing love of winter-themed terrain, and why the Battle of Suomussalmi makes such a compelling focal point for tabletop gaming. I also explore the historical background of the conflict, the dramatic imbalance between Soviet and Finnish forces, and why this short but intense war continues to fascinate historians and wargamers alike.
Along the way, I talk about miniature choices, painting winter forces, and how focusing on a single battle helps structure a long-term project without becoming overwhelming. If you enjoy historical wargaming, miniature painting, or thoughtful hobby discussion, this one’s very much for you.
