In this Update from the Operations Room, I take you through a packed month on Miniature Adventures, blending convention coverage, hobby progress, and reflections on the tabletop wargaming community.
The centrepiece of this episode is Dragonmeet 2025, which saw the UK’s longest-running tabletop convention move to the Excel Centre. I share a full walkaround impression of the show, exploring the expanded traders’ hall, organised play spaces, demo games, PodcastZone, and the atmosphere that makes Dragonmeet such a welcoming event for roleplayers, miniature painters, and wargamers alike. I also reflect on the convention’s history and why it continues to matter to the hobby.
Alongside that, there’s a channel milestone as Miniature Adventures passes 6,000 subscribers, a candid hobby update after a game-free November, and a detailed Workbench Report on my newly finished 28mm Perry Miniatures Russian Tartar Uhlans for the 1812 Retreat from Moscow. I also talk about my plans for the Analogue Hobbies Winter Painting Challenge, including a new Winter War project, and round things off with a book review of Roman Cavalry Equipment by Stephenson and Dixon.
