Report – Evento “Gioca La Storia” | 8 Giugno 2025

 🇮🇹 (English Below)

L’8 giugno abbiamo partecipato con grande entusiasmo all’evento Gioca la Storia, tenutosi presso il Museo delle Forze Armate 1914-1945 di Montecchio Maggiore. In questa splendida cornice, ricca di reperti storici di grande valore (che meriteranno un post a parte), diverse associazioni e gruppi di wargame storico tridimensionale provenienti da tutto il Veneto hanno allestito tavoli dimostrativi per far conoscere al pubblico il mondo del wargame e il suo valore educativo nella simulazione e nello studio della storia militare. 

Durante la giornata si è giocato con regolamenti ambientati nella Prima e Seconda Guerra Mondiale, tra cui: Bolt Action (scala 28 mm), Schutzengruppe (scala 1/72), Flames of War (scala 15 mm), Lacquered Coffins (scala 1/300, aviazione WWII) e Blue Max (WWI, gioco aereo).

La partecipazione del pubblico è stata ottima, con particolare entusiasmo da parte dei più piccoli, attratti in modo speciale dal tavolo di Bolt Action.

Non vediamo l’ora di poter replicare questa bellissima esperienza con una seconda edizione! Vogliamo in particolare ringraziare il direttore del museo Stefano e tutti i volontari del museo per la bellissima opportunità, Enrico e Lorenzo, degli "Amici del Modellismo Treviso", "Il Circolo di Pietra" e gli amici di Bassano del Grappa (Maurizio in primis).

On June 8th, we enthusiastically took part in the Wargame at the Museum event, hosted at the Museo delle Forze Armate 1914-1945 in Montecchio Maggiore. In this beautiful and historically rich setting, various wargaming clubs and associations from across the Veneto region presented tabletop simulations to showcase the educational and historical value of miniature wargaming.

Several gaming tables focused on World War I and II scenarios, featuring: Bolt Action (28 mm scale), Schutzengruppe (1/72 scale), Flames of War (15 mm scale), Lacquered Coffins (1/300 scale, WWII air combat), and Blue Max (WWI aerial dogfights).

Educational displays highlighted the tools and materials used by wargamers, and the museum staff ensured excellent organization – we thank them warmly for their support and hospitality.

The event was well attended, with many children especially captivated by the Bolt Action table.

We are already looking forward to the second edition of this fantastic event!

Great Expectactions 2019!

Happy new year!

A short post about expected club activities in 2019! New releases, new rulesets and an old ruleset coming back!

Rebels and Patriots


It's only a matter of weeks before the release of Rebels and Patriots, the new ruleset of Osprey Wargames series. I suggest you to follow Dalauppror's blog for latest news about it and previews of the mechanics.
Even if aimed at North American conflicts in 18th and 19th century I plan to use this ruleset for Italian Risorgimento, as stated in previous post I'm painting a Garibaldini army and Naepolitan army.




Heavy Gear

My mates Luca and Paolo started playing Heavy Gear (a sci-fi mecha based wargame) last year, here some pictures of their games. Maybe I'll post more in this blog in the future.





Lacquered Coffins

A totally new front for 2019: aerial warfare! We decided to give Lacquered Coffins a test. Alberto got some sample planes in 1/300 scale (we think the models are from Museum Miniatures)  and I'm going to paint them.  More on this blog soon!




Warfare in the Age of Reason

So after a new ruleset, back to an old one: after a long waiting this year we are going back to 18th century battlefields with Warfare in the Age of Reasons, using 3rd edition of the rules, published in 2016. Thanks to Luca's efforts we're gonna have an Austrian and a Prussian armies ready to fight over out tables!


Ordinary stuff

Of course we're gonna keep playing all the other things: Lion Rampant, Tercios and so on...
