On the 7th October I attended the inaugural RWF FEST at the Hightown Barracks in Wrexham. The event was run by the RWF Museum Friends, to raise money for the running of the museum. There were talks, medals, uniforms and artefacts to see up close. Museum staff were on hand and happily answered many queries (more of that in another post). I had a thoroughly enjoyable day, there will be another RWF FEST next year and the Friends are promising lots more events throughout the year. I've included information on the Friends after the photos and if anyone is interested in signing up to be a RWF Museum Friend please follow the link <a href="https://www.rwfmuseum.org.uk/friends-of-the-museum.html">https://www.rwfmuseum.org.uk/friends-of-the-museum.html</a></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">One talk was on the newly published book Percy a Story of 1918 by Professor Peter Boyle, a real story of local interest. Recommended for those interested in the social context of the First World War and how it touched young lives. The uniforms were all made by the gentleman in the pictures, ashamedly I can't remember his name; but the items on display were quite spectacular. Also present was Michael Crumplin retired Consultant and General Surgeon who has authored two books wargamers might be familiar with; Waterloo after the Glory, Hospital Sketches and Reports on the Wounded after the Battle; and Guthrie's War, A Surgeon of the Peninsula War and Waterloo. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Percy a Story of 1918 by Professor Peter Boyle is available from the RWF </span><span style="font-size: large;">Museum Shop: <a href="https://museumshops.uk/product/percy-a-story-of-1918/">https://museumshops.uk/product/percy-a-story-of-1918/</a></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Photos are not mine but are from the Royal Welch Fusiliers Facebook page. I hope they give a flavour of the day and entice others to join the Friends and maybe attend future events.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvd6ta552tzdCBfUmyP744NrclWPqSzfOvHfD9S8Lr8ANWWfqr5mOL2HPd9niW46ytZHn0lX-0eEMQhcJ2SEdyS2et_Nu3SnBgVqPkTxnTF7C_oNL80gynu42B_xluiwRvPcjhM0OlCmSJ9i_ZW2jLM-HfMxC2V4MEZjjlmm7TTeM2fbiPH6hw2D_3zBip/s1024/IMG_5038.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

The house move is complete, focus now turns towards the first wave of renovations (as long as the money lasts) and beginning to reintegrate wargaming into my life. I've had a butterfly moment, ordered some 10mm ACW as a manageable project to keep me going while I unpack and sort out the other projects. I have a few weeks of upheaval ahead, involving some asbestos removal, new front door, a ceiling to take down and a kitchen to put into working order...yep the ovens packed up, shower just stopped working and that's without the garden! On the bright side I'm fortunate to have couple of weeks off work. Still first unit of 10mm ACW have been painted and I'm happy with the results, so will post in the near future once based.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In the meantime I've acquired a copy of Martinstaat 1744 - a detailed wargame campaign set in a fictitious world by Henry Hyde. Below is a review I've posted on Amazon (I don't normally do this but I feel Henry's work warranted a review). </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I have never been disappointed by previous publications by Henry Hyde and this insight into his ImagiNation campaign does nothing to buck the trend. First off, I like the hardback A4 format as it reminds me of the Christmas annuals, and this seems a very appropriate choice as you can feel the nostalgia and enthusiasm conjured up by the author as you progress through this book. There are detailed maps of the campaign and colour plates depicting the combatants, and more recent photographs of old school style games to add flavour to the story being told. I found the insights shared inspiring, if a little daunting to myself who lacks the discipline to pursue such a detailed undertaking. However, it has led me to think about a smaller version contained within these pages, to permit myself to be immersed a little deeper in my gaming experience...so you never know! All in all this book is an indulgence, one which has given this wargamer immense pleasure. Highly Recommended.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">On another note, my Google account appears to be playing up, so I can't seem to comment on blogs that I follow. I will hopefully rectify this sooner than later. It is frustrating.</span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Meichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12990805411278559525noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682323190696878659.post-24031264011707863322023-07-21T16:11:00.001+00:002023-07-21T16:11:55.221+00:00Pumpkin Patch<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgY5ax-YCn8jMLfvk6ZaDt2abMAloc-Rk0JE4aSYqtKRGU61LjylmomNQRnv7Bc48IgCatwMa9T3jbPB1fFSUeZ_R2JwLNfyl0eDqYDVA8M94j5dQQmlVMcrl-pdAq794qE6ooYAPvg_B9bG7rz8nANw-vuKq4P6NMFAJcEHpENjFClm1GRjzJNXgOK3CP/s4032/IMG_4690.HEIC" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgY5ax-YCn8jMLfvk6ZaDt2abMAloc-Rk0JE4aSYqtKRGU61LjylmomNQRnv7Bc48IgCatwMa9T3jbPB1fFSUeZ_R2JwLNfyl0eDqYDVA8M94j5dQQmlVMcrl-pdAq794qE6ooYAPvg_B9bG7rz8nANw-vuKq4P6NMFAJcEHpENjFClm1GRjzJNXgOK3CP/w480-h640/IMG_4690.HEIC" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I've been thinking about terrain for the <b><i>Matchlocks and Witches</i></b> game. I decided that I needed a pumpkin patch, and a google search revealed just the inspiration I was looking for on <b><i>Dampf's Modelling Page</i></b>. (<a href="http://dampfpanzerwagon.blogspot.com/2019/02/the-pumpkin-patch-part-two-painting.html">http://dampfpanzerwagon.blogspot.com/2019/02/the-pumpkin-patch-part-two-painting.html</a>.) </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I ordered the terrain base from <b><i>Warbases</i></b>, and the undergrowth was from a hanging basket liner I picked up in <b><i>Wilkos</i></b>. I added a handful of Aquarium gravel, a dried grape stalk and finally the Putka pods for the pumpkins. I found the Putka pods on <b><i>Esty</i></b> for under £5, a cheap alternative when looking at scale models of pumpkins. The base was covered in pva glue and sand, then I used a wash of grey <b><i>GW Contrast</i></b> paint on the stones and dry brushed the model using greys, various shades of green from <b><i>Vallejo</i></b> and the <b><i>Foundry</i></b> Sand triad which I use for all my bases. I've had to pack all my models and paints away due to the impending move. The putka pods will be painted with <b><i>Foundry</i></b> Orange, static grass will be added to finish the base off. I'll update the blog with the finished model, hopefully in my next post or two (depends how I unpack the boxes!).</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeyNoVJNNvjciIIwQUO6JgvCqCzYVsHlT9yP1xlrOtPt17z4iK1gruD4XnS-j8Cw3LRJBgiGoxwh3Lc-qCQlMeYt-5HlK4lKjPJ5KyHnnIuXxYS3QJjsMu2UB8bXgrpaXqbzL6PfxDmOnLGmh2IT8j2wpodjyUZoDaItZec88HlKcQ600XPUCbfRg_ZxVG/s4032/IMG_4691%202.HEIC" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeyNoVJNNvjciIIwQUO6JgvCqCzYVsHlT9yP1xlrOtPt17z4iK1gruD4XnS-j8Cw3LRJBgiGoxwh3Lc-qCQlMeYt-5HlK4lKjPJ5KyHnnIuXxYS3QJjsMu2UB8bXgrpaXqbzL6PfxDmOnLGmh2IT8j2wpodjyUZoDaItZec88HlKcQ600XPUCbfRg_ZxVG/w300-h400/IMG_4691%202.HEIC" width="300" /></a></div></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: right;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM4of5GnlGRg7uf7WHSfvgHoMMvJkmC8neK0o3PjUxXtDjt5e7Xefxd-9ktNsbWWEgVRko0NSeNrD1L0RDmcMk4NOwlc4GgpRBsgRZ3TyNZlcqjU2L9UKi2oipy2qK6yyZp5n0QZmeM2BIDLVVqTkQ3i8Qpn4uj1q4hYs2PQg_BxvN1u5RJg210uALcF-Z/s4032/IMG_4682%202.HEIC" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM4of5GnlGRg7uf7WHSfvgHoMMvJkmC8neK0o3PjUxXtDjt5e7Xefxd-9ktNsbWWEgVRko0NSeNrD1L0RDmcMk4NOwlc4GgpRBsgRZ3TyNZlcqjU2L9UKi2oipy2qK6yyZp5n0QZmeM2BIDLVVqTkQ3i8Qpn4uj1q4hYs2PQg_BxvN1u5RJg210uALcF-Z/w300-h400/IMG_4682%202.HEIC" width="300" /></a></div><p></p>Meichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12990805411278559525noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682323190696878659.post-32295133838826433622023-07-10T17:32:00.003+00:002023-07-10T17:32:58.931+00:006mm ACW Union<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3yw1DAGCuGlVYKbdWooTrkdBxML8ogyIrTEdFtMw2ZSp9xgAEIi-eVCv-bLvmcdCh1xP6e1j-UVqkXh7w71WXQXkV9kWFgSNZMcb72K3CKUlKwX01xVJRYcr4zChEmWbnXlZT-UIEARc4TPh2jabanh4NPziXCil2ORI8MPybyA4L8vXeLdum0EhlMNCI/s3024/IMG_4706.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1643" data-original-width="3024" height="217" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3yw1DAGCuGlVYKbdWooTrkdBxML8ogyIrTEdFtMw2ZSp9xgAEIi-eVCv-bLvmcdCh1xP6e1j-UVqkXh7w71WXQXkV9kWFgSNZMcb72K3CKUlKwX01xVJRYcr4zChEmWbnXlZT-UIEARc4TPh2jabanh4NPziXCil2ORI8MPybyA4L8vXeLdum0EhlMNCI/w400-h217/IMG_4706.HEIC" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It's been a while since I last posted. Most of my stuff is packed ready for the move at the end of the month, and time is flying by as I'm working nights (I sleep a lot!). I've managed to dig out photos for a couple of posts so that the blog isn't completely neglected. The first is a 6mm ACW Union army, figures are <b><i>Baccus Miniatures </i></b>and very easy to paint. I managed two games with this army using Black Powder and recorded two victories. Sadly, I no longer have an opponent, so these are currently up for sale on eBay. </div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ1ZIELsLghKV2tZqT7qKrQDWxBtB4EpLOtH39b9ZH_Ts3y9wYAVh3fBIILzSF-W4tiOTehl2j1mxrm9ZlS410iEOgxhPpQLoQkmJpsS1InbYL6AKeh5UxDmOu0Npo3AgQida1QNmqOLdKY-7lzaoBQwpbYsyar71xm0o8NS-_n3t8xn9upjq7Rpa3XUhL/s4032/IMG_4718.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right;

font-size: large;">I stumbled across this little game <b><i>Matchlocks & Witchcraft</i></b> by Samuel S. Drucker purely by chance on a Facebook post. It immediately caught my attention as I'm always on the look out for small games that I can put together quickly while I'm painting up a bigger project. It's available as a PDF from <i><b>Wargames Vault</b></i> for the princely sum of $5. This little project gives me another use for my French and Indian Wars terrain, and some of the figures I purchased from the <b><i>Flint and Feather Contact </i></b>Kickstarter by <i><b>Crucible Crush</b></i>.

(I do have the amazing <b><i>Bad Squidoo Games</i></b> War Peegs and Chums, more of them in a later project for <b><i>Xenos Rampant</i></b>).

Currently on annual leave, which has been sabotaged by covid once again...so I was cheered this morning when my copy of <b><i>Tabletop Battle Tactics by Henry Hyde</i></b> arrived. This is a lovely hardback full colour edition reminiscent of Christmas annuals of yesteryear. What I've read so far is excellent, as is the overall quality of the book. With this beside me all my foes will tremble...unless they too have a copy of course! </span></p>Meichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12990805411278559525noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682323190696878659.post-40236853467764318932023-02-15T17:42:00.004+00:002023-02-18T19:05:33.785+00:00Medjay Nubians patrolling the border<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvjr5J3gvImhLYv-0zzZQJCu63jnKbd0xTtRETNN-i1CrN2skrBJQo6G5FRHZK9MBn_IkvvYJR19xFGMO5zQ3pPeHcAeH2HKU47sqxph8l1DaV5G3RDlmW1xMMq1DYuNzosq-rda2dWrG8LIJUEsEqprwrsjNDm9nl7hs8FW6Oazw_u-e2zJNpoeBTeA/s3024/IMG_4405.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2484" data-original-width="3024" height="329" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvjr5J3gvImhLYv-0zzZQJCu63jnKbd0xTtRETNN-i1CrN2skrBJQo6G5FRHZK9MBn_IkvvYJR19xFGMO5zQ3pPeHcAeH2HKU47sqxph8l1DaV5G3RDlmW1xMMq1DYuNzosq-rda2dWrG8LIJUEsEqprwrsjNDm9nl7hs8FW6Oazw_u-e2zJNpoeBTeA/w400-h329/IMG_4405.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDDJcA6ouBLqub6fvBcZElA3-6weA-yxi07DqQXU3aQDElE0A3RochUAt99T4bwVDapI_fXhlrq_s5PMVpg7aS1LQzcmjqnjkOrM4P8Ye4IUHWKiEOev1_ZmFRCtslVJKepuAae2fsiDf-yiEs_lGkvfwP8-1Rg7Lsh_9GvYdaJCLQcobwu__vuWSdvw/s4032/IMG_4390.jpeg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDDJcA6ouBLqub6fvBcZElA3-6weA-yxi07DqQXU3aQDElE0A3RochUAt99T4bwVDapI_fXhlrq_s5PMVpg7aS1LQzcmjqnjkOrM4P8Ye4IUHWKiEOev1_ZmFRCtslVJKepuAae2fsiDf-yiEs_lGkvfwP8-1Rg7Lsh_9GvYdaJCLQcobwu__vuWSdvw/s320/IMG_4390.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;">New additions to my Bronze Age collection, this time reinforcements for the New Kingdom Egyptians in the form of Medjay Nubian archers. 28mm miniatures from <b><i>Wargames Foundry</i></b>, buildings are an eBay find. </span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">There is some good news on the development of this army, as I've found lurking in a box of unpainted 15mm Italian Wars figures the <b><i>Wargames Foundry</i></b> Pharaoh set and a pack of New Kingdom Egyptian Axemen that I was beginning to question whether I had actually purchased! All this despite having organised my unpainted figures into labelled boxes, it seems my best attempts to be organised suffered a minor set back. At least I didn't purchase the miniatures again.

font-size: large;">I'm quite a fan of <i><b>Helion</b></i> books and the latest title to join my shelves is from their Century of the Soldier (1618-1721) series and is titled New Worlds, Old Wars, The Anglo-American Indian Wars 1607-1678 by David Childs. The book covers the wars that blighted the early relationships between settlers and Amerindians.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">One thing that struck me when reading this book is that this subject matter is one which is very close to the heart of the author. If you have an interest in the early Anglo settlements in America and their clashes with the indigenous peoples, termed Amerindians by the author then I would suggest that this book is essential reading. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">I found the book insightful into the relationships between the English settlers and the native Amerindians. The contents providing plenty of inspiration for wargames scenarios, ranging from native ambuscades to settler treachery, something I kept in mind while reading as I'm due to receive the Kickstarter rulebook <b><i>Flint and Feather Contact</i></b> this year. If you have an interest in colonial warfare and history you can clearly see the attitudes of the early English settlers towards indigenous people, attitudes which were carried forward into future generations as the British Empire was established. There are some particularly unpleasant individuals on the settler side, and it is worth mentioning that settler brutality was not isolated to the indigenous people alone, but was meted out to their own, this is after all within the timeframe of the Salem witch trials. </span></p>Meichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12990805411278559525noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682323190696878659.post-91132284810631230702023-01-25T12:55:00.007+00:002023-01-25T15:00:20.833+00:00New Kingdom Egyptian Archers<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSGjWpJZ4Lz8gsR3OA_3PZZwQKN2c0sHdgF1kIoEJElJK7ljHe_OV11PtVBqHhLkCVTwRmkGMYzPtEj01OVyx8-MFZzKDefqe7dBaClCuoCwkkg7HLr50nnwX2b2RLybuhH3G1rePjdTGYwXsBoEg22WIsHHocpb244-NkXX2MXTg4acHMXR9ZlfjC7g/s4032/206C203B-C793-46B5-A9B4-B37B7CE18AFA.heic" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSGjWpJZ4Lz8gsR3OA_3PZZwQKN2c0sHdgF1kIoEJElJK7ljHe_OV11PtVBqHhLkCVTwRmkGMYzPtEj01OVyx8-MFZzKDefqe7dBaClCuoCwkkg7HLr50nnwX2b2RLybuhH3G1rePjdTGYwXsBoEg22WIsHHocpb244-NkXX2MXTg4acHMXR9ZlfjC7g/w480-h640/206C203B-C793-46B5-A9B4-B37B7CE18AFA.heic" width="480" /></a></div><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">First post of the New Year, time has caught me out and appears to be going fast. The Bronze Age project continues with the addition of 28mm <b><i>Wargames Foundry</i></b> New Kingdom Egyptian archers. The buildings are an eBay purchase. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">In other painting news, I'm making slow but steady progress on the15mm Hundred Years War English army. I've even found some very old figures in the lead pile that will had some reinforcements, unsure of the manufacturer though. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I've mostly been reading in my time when not working and looking for new accommodation, so painting time has been limited.

The larger bases will be for <b><i>Impetus</i></b> and <b><i>Hail Caesar</i></b> games. I'm quite pleased with how the <b><i>Newline</i></b> figures have painted up, though would have preferred larger shields. The buildings in the background are from a recent eBay purchase and will be used in Biblical and Crusades games, and might even be used for Sci-Fi. The Crusades is another project I have in the pipeline, there'll be two armies for <b><i>SAGA</i></b> and <i style="font-weight: bold;">Lion Rampant </i>appearing sometime in 2023 if everything goes to plan.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">All that's left is for me to wish everyone </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: red;

New addition to my rules collection has been <b><i>Xenos Rampant</i></b>. I'm not a big Sci-fi gamer but now and then fancy an easy pick up game to use models that I've gathered over the years, mostly because I like them and fancied painting them. I plan to use figures from <b><i>Gates of Antares, Bad Squidoo Games</i></b> along with some <i style="font-weight: bold;">All Quiet on the Martian Front </i>drones, which will play the part of mechanical space aliens. It will also give me a chance to use the <b><i>Tenfold Dungeon</i></b> Facility that I got as part of the Kickstarter. The Facility is a really nice set, I'll take some pictures for a separate post. <b><i>Gale Force 9</i></b> now market the <b><i>Tenfold Dungeon</i></b> sets, though as far as I'm aware the Facility hasn't been released. Sets are available from <b><i>North Star Military Figures</i></b>.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I've managed to paint up some 15mm Frankish warriors from <b><i>Gladiator Games</i></b>, not basing them yet as I want to paint up more from another manufacturer and mix them in. I've also started a 15mm English Hundred Years War army, and made a start on the 28mm New Kingdom Egyptians. Given the difficulty I'm having with my hands at the moment I'm focussing on painting rather than basing at the moment, albeit slower than I'd like. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9H03Z-4UeShR9vrjjGC-RmT1j5aBTPYNPziXyv4_03nhVVZErJTvxFbpk_vejKtnyKAFUM_PwBYTwrgb3Vk8MbF4rPJm4Cz-lfaJOCKlwFVBIoW7wd1ZY5aYzLIN53ohhVeYxRXf5OJQIuLifLnGqMB4nRGIlqldHZF1oEiX3b8oZar6kDBmIiiUa1w/s2719/IMG_4193.heic" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2204" data-original-width="2719" height="324" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9H03Z-4UeShR9vrjjGC-RmT1j5aBTPYNPziXyv4_03nhVVZErJTvxFbpk_vejKtnyKAFUM_PwBYTwrgb3Vk8MbF4rPJm4Cz-lfaJOCKlwFVBIoW7wd1ZY5aYzLIN53ohhVeYxRXf5OJQIuLifLnGqMB4nRGIlqldHZF1oEiX3b8oZar6kDBmIiiUa1w/w400-h324/IMG_4193.heic" width="400" /></a></div></div><br /><p></p>Meichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12990805411278559525noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682323190696878659.post-74086944444680374862022-11-07T11:44:00.003+00:002022-11-07T11:44:51.366+00:00Knights of Agincourt<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMgWrQi_3ZjSoSMBa9wFY30SYrzT_Lg9w6FeHwVfQ9MjeUsFlMkaIOajJUWZVIxZogaxmuInS17LpUm5HS9ZlGXwx7SiAiWFg7O8015oPHgq5tJg_E7HpNxouRoJ148cxOc0gG4K9vUZrbbozoKbrtds_tuiItvJq7o9F0FjVs5tzxgbAxo4CMmhUR-A/s4032/D0ADC67F-610A-4351-B6E7-CBAA7ADA5CD3.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="2604" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMgWrQi_3ZjSoSMBa9wFY30SYrzT_Lg9w6FeHwVfQ9MjeUsFlMkaIOajJUWZVIxZogaxmuInS17LpUm5HS9ZlGXwx7SiAiWFg7O8015oPHgq5tJg_E7HpNxouRoJ148cxOc0gG4K9vUZrbbozoKbrtds_tuiItvJq7o9F0FjVs5tzxgbAxo4CMmhUR-A/w414-h640/D0ADC67F-610A-4351-B6E7-CBAA7ADA5CD3.jpeg" width="414" /></a></div><p><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjayL4GmWA3yu1hiezsrUkBbEU8sWzUw5F7eVqagftiAcmXkNO4vGcPtBddAGoIoOCApIGeLbDSQRUNsyLqO__FWmlNbD0pXwDuiBva4X6Fx7AHUVtzpkHc0lY-3vmwXXhWe9Cw60ji1mzk4Ivt9SipkGvsQygiHTD3RM3-bj9J0GGYIYpJIKto79j8mw/s4032/10952C8E-62A9-4B3E-9EB5-E66EB0275119.heic" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="2594" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjayL4GmWA3yu1hiezsrUkBbEU8sWzUw5F7eVqagftiAcmXkNO4vGcPtBddAGoIoOCApIGeLbDSQRUNsyLqO__FWmlNbD0pXwDuiBva4X6Fx7AHUVtzpkHc0lY-3vmwXXhWe9Cw60ji1mzk4Ivt9SipkGvsQygiHTD3RM3-bj9J0GGYIYpJIKto79j8mw/s320/10952C8E-62A9-4B3E-9EB5-E66EB0275119.heic" width="206" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: large;">Just received a nice little book on the <b><i>Knights of Agincourt A Roll of Honour</i></b> by Steve Archibald. This book starts with a synopsis of the battle of Agincourt and provides full colour references for the coats of arms of 159 English and 324 French Knights. I'm predominantly looking at building two smallish 15mm armies for this campaign so I'll be picking out some of the simpler heraldries. The back cover gives a good example of the content. The only downside is I'd have liked details on the individual knights, but this is being harsh.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Highly recommend as a useful source for those contemplating these armies.</span></p><p>Available from Amazon. </p><p></p>Meichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12990805411278559525noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682323190696878659.post-28382969752211302472022-10-26T17:04:00.003+00:002022-10-26T17:05:18.627+00:00Huns<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7Gnv78tDcz8X9c1pK2-356XAyD7Q2iAe1C1ZXjYrSqh33K7WBmdgQWdL4ztHS3MZBc0zCt54A2N1k3fX8iTRDEXcnPDVBoZzRE2gaJvJGTtZLFs4JUFiQgOStCctBH2G6bDmCyBZ_Q2lwv4yuxKOYpYQL51f9tHaASWyKcK18qdsZdLMnr-TG1x1NYw/s3608/79046395-3BCC-41D8-BE87-CF8BAF4CAEED.heic" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3608" data-original-width="2662" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7Gnv78tDcz8X9c1pK2-356XAyD7Q2iAe1C1ZXjYrSqh33K7WBmdgQWdL4ztHS3MZBc0zCt54A2N1k3fX8iTRDEXcnPDVBoZzRE2gaJvJGTtZLFs4JUFiQgOStCctBH2G6bDmCyBZ_Q2lwv4yuxKOYpYQL51f9tHaASWyKcK18qdsZdLMnr-TG1x1NYw/w472-h640/79046395-3BCC-41D8-BE87-CF8BAF4CAEED.heic" width="472" /></a></div><p><span style="font-size: large;">Firstly, I'm having problems with the blog, in that it wouldn't let me reply to comments or make comments on other blogs that I follow (which has been very frustrating!). Also it appears that comments made on blog posts haven't been showing up until several days from posting have passed. I've managed to change my settings to permit me to respond to comments made on my blog, so apologies to Aly and Jonathan for not accepting or replying sooner. But I still can't comment on other blogs. I haven't got the spare time to figure out what has happened and how to fix it this week, but I'm on annual leave next week so hopefully will be able to return to normality. The whole thing seems to have happened randomly, I'm quite perplexed to say the least.</span></p><p></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMWTzR1ZC4CeNI0DCdjFIVp3VK3luRlCK3RaWgaf2PNNS2scxCptuHjHCckOXSyYWSkQMnRmVRGMj5QDv-KkT8mbSw1_AbegXbfWb7HSnK2ZSbqaoSIn3QVGFsSQTwlhfeYK2uiophaOmgvylTo13vVuPwp-iiopB9GiL90nppph3Vb7jQ-wj41XYkjQ/s3844/3D4C45D9-59D6-4EDB-B68D-1DB57266B9D0.heic" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3844" data-original-width="2723" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMWTzR1ZC4CeNI0DCdjFIVp3VK3luRlCK3RaWgaf2PNNS2scxCptuHjHCckOXSyYWSkQMnRmVRGMj5QDv-KkT8mbSw1_AbegXbfWb7HSnK2ZSbqaoSIn3QVGFsSQTwlhfeYK2uiophaOmgvylTo13vVuPwp-iiopB9GiL90nppph3Vb7jQ-wj41XYkjQ/s320/3D4C45D9-59D6-4EDB-B68D-1DB57266B9D0.heic" width="227" /></a></p><span style="font-size: large;">On the wargaming front my reading list is getting ever longer and time more limited, but I've picked up the <b><i>Osprey Combat</i></b> series on <b><i>Hunnic Warrior versus Late Roman Cavalryman</i></b>. This will be my easy reading tomorrow, going from reviews and a quick flick through this looks a decent offering from <b><i>Osprey</i></b>. I've also got my hands on a copy of <b><i>Wargaming Campaigns</i></b> by Henry Hyde which I've has just arrived as I write this post. I'm really looking forward to reading this latest offering as I thoroughly enjoyed <b><i>The Wargaming Compendium</i></b>, so much so that I have it on Kindle as well as hardback! </span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Returning to the Huns, I bought this book as I'm working on a 15mm Hun army. Currently on the painting table are some 15mm Huns and Frankish foot and some 28mm Kushite/Nubian archers for the New Kingdom Egyptians. I need to get my basing table sorted out, so I can finish off flocking and tufting the Mycenaean Spearmen, and get them photographed and on the blog. I also plan to sort out my 28mm Wars of the Roses army and see what my options are for splitting and rebasing to get two small armies out, maybe for <b><i>Lion Rampant</i></b>. So break time in work this weekend will be mostly planning what to do hobby wise next week when I'm off.</span></p>Meichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12990805411278559525noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682323190696878659.post-27366936023815678352022-10-16T14:34:00.004+00:002022-10-16T14:34:21.511+00:00What's been happening this week and The Other Partizan <p><br /></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOf3WSbMu066uYPhfu2mEu6nih3IIi_C_2A5_45RydGMe6Rfb0_p6Pc2Ug36E0vBg1geK7wuJSt1Pr3vi749wAkrzUn9H_Nu31-kQ04R7fWd-Fgm4M4XWREUQXi5hTz7BUIiSN6fNXrWD8QYPfrDw-VI-c6tBXoSH75a_CRgoF3EBDw0HSWeTcIByjHA/s4032/100A58D8-9211-43E4-B644-E7EA67D801C1.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOf3WSbMu066uYPhfu2mEu6nih3IIi_C_2A5_45RydGMe6Rfb0_p6Pc2Ug36E0vBg1geK7wuJSt1Pr3vi749wAkrzUn9H_Nu31-kQ04R7fWd-Fgm4M4XWREUQXi5hTz7BUIiSN6fNXrWD8QYPfrDw-VI-c6tBXoSH75a_CRgoF3EBDw0HSWeTcIByjHA/w480-h640/100A58D8-9211-43E4-B644-E7EA67D801C1.jpeg" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>League of Augsburg</i></span> </td></tr></tbody></table><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Last Sunday I attended <b><i>The Other Partizan</i></b>, the room was full of wonderful games and the show seemed well attended. On arrival a bacon bap was ordered and after consuming said bap the first circuit of the room was begun. I only took a few photos, not my usual number. I did spend time chatting to a few people but not as many as I would have liked as I felt a little under the weather, all symptoms associated with a long term condition, which should be eased following my regular treatment tomorrow and energy boosting B12 injection due Wednesday. Brushes will be out with a vengeance then! Regarding <b><i>The Other Partizan</i></b>, <b><i>The Shrewsbury Wargames Society</i></b>, were very welcoming and as I live not too far away extended an open invitation to pop over for a game. Their game won best game at show with an alternative history to the outcome of 1066, featuring a clash between Normans and Vikings using <b><i>Lion Rampant 2.</i></b> I also had equally pleasant chats with Barry Hilton of the <b><i>League of Augsburg</i></b> who was present with another stunning display, and Ken of <b><i>Yarkshire Gamer</i></b> renown. There was a little "Get thee behind me" moment in the conversation with Barry Hilton as he touched upon future plans for the <b><i>Warfare Miniatures</i></b> range of figures, as if the Ottomans on display were not temptation enough! Conversation with Ken left me with the impression that I should reconsider 10mm after discussing his stunning work with the <b><i>Pendraken</i></b> 10mm WSS range. I have dabbled slightly in 10mm but decided to park them as I found they were taking too long for me to paint, I think I need to be a little kinder to the scale and give myself time to adjust. I managed a little light painting this week making a start on the 28mm New Kingdom Egyptians. The <b><i>Yarkshire Gamer</i></b> podcast was the background for my session, a thoroughly enjoyable wargames chat, and highly recommended to anyone who hasn't listened in yet. That brings us to the goodies from The Other Partizan. I've provided a new home for some unpainted 18mm Seven Years War figures and some 28mm New Kingdom Egyptian Archers from <b><i>Colonel Bill</i></b>, these were supplemented with a few more Seven Years War figures from <b><i>Eureka Miniatures</i></b> and the <b><i>Blue Moon</i></b> range sold by <i style="font-weight: bold;">Old Glory UK</i>, though the pickings were slim as their stock had been decimated prior to the show. A visit to <b><i>Warbases</i></b> completed the purchases, more bases, a bridge and a set of their new fields (I've been thinking <b><i>DBA</i></b> terrain and easy transportation to the club). </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Despite managing a little painting the week has mostly been one of rest.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><i><u><span style="font-size: large;">League of Augsburg</span></u></i></p><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUozK1JWz-K2aLiFLrxXT_GHEsc-p2LSlkFzqQDoo86ZboBuS1ufgaO6ab8Auc7WzFQtZX_TmIjyguRCBagaNyGK5pAxa78-_sfp7oDjhXzWjLkHb4nisaiY7JUFywsS87JWsmTlBTXctyu4CEVKbXBPYpgh0pzi1ot8enTKle_4dGtbf99eXQmNSgDw/s4032/4EE25F24-2847-4034-96EA-1C2B6351446A.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right;

I've had a stockpile of 18mm Seven Years War figures from <b><i>Eureka </i></b>and <b><i>Blue Moon</i></b> languishing for years, additions to the lead pile have been made periodically, but with no overall plan finalised. I have to confess I'm not a planner, more of an impulse buyer. I've also been internally debating base sizes, as this will dictate to a degree unit sizes. Options under review have been 40mm frontage with 8 figures to a base or 30mm frontage with 6 figures to a base for foot. Cavalry units will be either 12 or 8 figures strong. In an ideal world the 40mm frontage would win, but I have had to be realistic and take into consideration a number of important factors, most notably cost and table size. I'm currently restricted to a maximum 6ft x 4ft table, and games need to conform to this reality. Larger games may be possible but will not be the norm. There is added bonus that less figures per unit means the armies will be game ready sooner. So, at the moment I'm leaning towards 30mm as a frontage per base. Artillery will have to be on 40mm frontage as I've mocked some up on a 30mm base and don't like the cramped look. Rules will be <b><i>Maurice</i></b>, and I don't feel having the artillery on a different frontage will matter as long as all armies are based the same. The armies that I'll be building are Prussian, Austrian and Russian.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I still intend to continue with the Bronze Age project, and will work these in alongside the Seven Years War and other projects I've started in 15mm, Late Rome and her enemies and the Italian Wars. In fact I've nearly finished my first starter army for Furioso, the French.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Some exciting news, well for me. I'll be attending <b><i>The Other Partizan</i></b> this Sunday, the first post covid outing. I'm really looking forward to seeing the great games on display and maybe making a few purchases. </span></p>Meichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12990805411278559525noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682323190696878659.post-79566802440953162172022-09-26T19:11:00.001+00:002022-09-26T19:11:46.169+00:00Kingmaker on Kickstarter<img alt="" class="fit" src="https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/038/494/186/cf8b5dd70dbd171c07ab1f66e16c9926_original.png?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=680&fit=max&v=1662390835&gif-q=50&lossless=true&s=c6baece5d7de2e93a5339f0124108bc9" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; caret-color: rgb(40, 40, 40); color: #282828; display: block; font-family: "Maison Neue Book", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: auto; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" /><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Kingmaker</b> has come to Kickstarter! I have to confess that I have a soft spot for this game, it was one of a set that included <b><i>Escape from Colditz, Diplomacy</i></b>, and <b><i>Samurai Blades</i></b> that my gaming group played regularly when I was teenager....a long time ago! So for me to see this veritable classic remade and with four options of play ranging from Kingmaker 2, Classic Kingmaker, Kingmaker Extended Classic with an optional battle system, and <b>SOLO</b>, it was something that I had no hesitation backing. I never owned a personal copy of this game, and it was my favourite out of the suite of games we regularly played; I cannot wait to get my hands on this upgraded version....the added bonus of Solo rules makes for one happy gamer. Just has to get funded now!</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Link to Kickstarter below if you are feeling nostalgic.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kingmaker-rerelease/the-royal-rerelease-of-kingmaker?ref=discovery&term=kingmaker">https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kingmaker-rerelease/the-royal-rerelease-of-kingmaker?ref=discovery&term=kingmaker</a></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>Meichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12990805411278559525noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682323190696878659.post-47233387293382569102022-09-09T13:50:00.003+00:002022-09-09T13:50:38.791+00:00Queen Elizabeth II - 21st April 1926 - 8th September 2022<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz2OscnO1lIQeN4GqzRRiqC4b64Ek9LngsGDigiJPbtWbHIir0LGVmEupouZ4keKd-KcVy6Ldutz6NwfHxp4Tg-aEA9cbIKQFWW6VIel8Phh4S1mGYT6gEfuVlhlh0y1oPEfciiW8sxILtDIeXvbkPUm9aCALWiC7BtUH7QPueaADCY4FbAVJKB37mPw/s640/3D9F4FA8-660E-438B-BFD8-94662DB25A54.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz2OscnO1lIQeN4GqzRRiqC4b64Ek9LngsGDigiJPbtWbHIir0LGVmEupouZ4keKd-KcVy6Ldutz6NwfHxp4Tg-aEA9cbIKQFWW6VIel8Phh4S1mGYT6gEfuVlhlh0y1oPEfciiW8sxILtDIeXvbkPUm9aCALWiC7BtUH7QPueaADCY4FbAVJKB37mPw/w480-h640/3D9F4FA8-660E-438B-BFD8-94662DB25A54.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">This is a difficult post to write as I have not so long ago lost my Mum, and I am first and foremost reminded that a family have lost their Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother. Like many, Queen Elizabeth II was the only monarch I have known, and takes her place as possibly the greatest monarch this country has ever known, I doubt we will ever see her like again. Condolences and thoughts go out to her family, especially the Great Grand children in this difficult time.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">As a mark of respect there will be no further posts on this blog during the period of National Mourning. </span></p>Meichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12990805411278559525noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682323190696878659.post-41645676033782280372022-08-30T10:35:00.001+00:002022-08-30T10:35:19.134+00:00Newcastle Rifles and Buffalo Guard - Anglo-Zulu War<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEietnh_ukbjBr1OKiWWQotn681yiHgmrWKkWPwN1ufyevTaFZF356NtkLheZ7M16FfZ1OaWw4tHj282fXCsJxycJd9bfR2cd0oJ5Q0lOtCsOvYxh0gPOH5RkHgQuIflY-8ODkEUHA3Gj2iR5071UDhSDApWRdhqJxL7Q4hhtOc0w0ilvoQX0pYw1V5MWA/s4032/C52F1926-E279-4B7F-9784-B6AED0447E2F.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEietnh_ukbjBr1OKiWWQotn681yiHgmrWKkWPwN1ufyevTaFZF356NtkLheZ7M16FfZ1OaWw4tHj282fXCsJxycJd9bfR2cd0oJ5Q0lOtCsOvYxh0gPOH5RkHgQuIflY-8ODkEUHA3Gj2iR5071UDhSDApWRdhqJxL7Q4hhtOc0w0ilvoQX0pYw1V5MWA/w480-h640/C52F1926-E279-4B7F-9784-B6AED0447E2F.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">28mm Anglo-Zulu War cavalry representing Newcastles Rifles and the Buffalo Guard. The figures are from <i><b>Empress Miniatures</b></i>. Observant readers may notice a stray mounted and dismounted Natal Mounted Police figure, I'm unsure where his fellow officer is, likely misplaced in a box during packing for a move, this particular chap has also seen action, having lost his helmet spike. Just like the Mounted Infantry set there is a horse holder set included. The intention was to combine these with the Mounted infantry to form a cavalry detachment for a small game. I also have in the lead pile some Mounted Natal Native Horse to paint. The Anglo-Zulu War project has very much been a slow burner, with small additions being infrequently made, in fact I've only managed to paint one of the Rorkes Drift Buildings and the Zulu huts have remained untouched!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I've included this 28mm miniature set from <b><i>Colonel Bills</i></b> to represent a war correspondent in the Anglo-Zulu War, the intention is to provide a nice bit of table dressing or an objective. War photography was very much in its infancy during the Anglo-Zulu War in 1879, most pictures are portraits of leaders and groups of soldiers pre and post conflict. Battlefield photography was rare and would have consisted of post battle shots of the dead prior to burial, despite this I decided on including a cameraman to represent an Anglo-Zulu War correspondent for easy distinction on the table top, and because I liked the model.

The Gorgons were </span><span style="text-align: left;">Theno (Stheno), Euryale and Medusa </span><span style="text-align: left;">and were reportedly </span><span style="text-align: left;">the offspring of the mother and father of all monsters in Greek Mythology, Echidna and Typhon. Interestingly Theno and Euryale were immortal and Medusa was mortal. The reason for this might be that Medusa had different parents and was considered to be the offspring of Phorkys and Keto and not Echidna and Typhon; more on Medusa in another post. The Gorgons are part snake, ugly with snakes for hair and anyone foolish enough to gaze into their eyes would turn into stone. I will be looking at modelling some hapless victims for scenery from spare Greek miniatures I have in the lead pile. Another famous offspring of Echidna and Typhon was Cerberus the guardian of the gate to the Underworld. Sadly, Cerberus is currently not included in the <b><i>Mortal Gods Mythic</i></b> game, but I do have a rather lovely resin model to paint that I picked up from <b style="font-style: italic;">Bad Squidoo Games, </b>and I'm hoping that a card and rules for Cerberus will be added at some point.<b style="font-style: italic;"> </b> The remaining Gorgons are on the painting table. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Bronze Age project has suffered some delays due to work and the weather, but I managed to finish a large batch of figures this afternoon.

The Naval Brigade had a strength of 863 men and saw active service in the Anglo-Zulu war, for the warmer they offer a variation on the red coated infantry of the British army. The Naval Brigade was formed from men from the <i>Active, Shah, Tenedos and Boadicea</i>. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I opted for a unit of 16 men and Royal Navy Gatling gun and crew. The figures wear straw hats and represent a detachment from <i>HMS Shah</i>, an iron clad frigate built in 1873. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Interestingly, <i>HMS Shah </i>had seen action in 1877 against the Peruvian <i>Huasca</i> (an armoured turret ship), which had seized coal from British ships, an act viewed by Admiral de Horsey as Piracy. A three hour engagement followed which ended when the <i>Huasca</i> reached the safety into harbour and surrendered to the Peruvian navy. The <i>Huasca</i> had been seized by Nicholas de Pierola who became President of Peru following the engagement with <i>HMS Shah </i>having been elevated to the status of a national hero. In the following wave of anti-British feeling <i>HMS Shah</i> was ordered home in disgrace. On the journey home after learning of the defeat of Isandlwana <i>HMS Shah </i>transported the 88th Regiment (Connaught Rangers), No. 8 Battery and the 7th Brigade of Royal Artillery from the garrison of St Helena to South Africa. These joined Chelmsfords column set for the relief of Eshowe and saw action the Battle of Gingindlovu on 2nd April 1879. This was to be the last action that the men of the Naval Brigade saw, a subsequent attachment to the coastal column under General Henry Crealock saw them used to build and man forts and protecting the supply routes. For a more detailed account of the Naval Brigade please refer to the excellent account of the The Naval Brigade in Zululand by Brian Best. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Source: B.

The challenge is what to do as temperatures reach the high 20's, as I write it's already 26 degrees C and rising. I might have a go at assembling chariots for the various Bronze Age armies, I think it might be too hot to paint, but sticking models together might be possible. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: -webkit-standard, serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: -webkit-standard, serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Below are a mixture of Slingers and Archers for my Mycenaean army based as skirmishers. All the figures are 28mm <b><i>Wargames Foundry</i></b>. I’m still working on the <b><i>Newline Designs</i></b> contingent, and itching to get them finished, based and pictures posted on the blog. I’m also keen to complete the Mycenaean army and get cracking with the New Kingdom Egyptians. In the meantime, I do have a few posts ready to keep the blog ticking along until I have more Bronze Age updates. </span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;
