By way of a thank you - Any 10 from the list
For Post #1,001
I thought it would be nice to give our visitors an opportunity to pick up a little bargain if they are so inclined. The pdf uniform and scenario packs have proved to be very popular. The fact the the range continues to expand is testimony to that.
We now have 27 Uniform guides and 25 4Playpacks excluding the 2 FREE packs. The prices vary on these between £2 and £6 with most being in...
Mad for War 4Play releases
 |
| Assurance versus Constant Reformation 1649 |
I am very pleased to announce the release of the first 4Play scenario packs specifically designed for Mad for War. There are 16 packs which will be released over the next few weeks but the first batch of four is a nice cross section of some of the different conflicts of the late 17th century which will be covered by the series.

| Action between Clan Chattan and Keppoch Macdonalds - from Crann Tara |
I have been working on new 4Play scenarios including a dozen naval packs to support Mad for War. Here is a peek at what in coming up.
CRANN TARA - Clan warfare between 1660 and 1690.
This one fascinated me after Dave sent me some information on little known clan actions which took place during my core period of interest. This pack...
Mad for War Essentials - play without painting a single ship!
I have been blogging less frequently these past days because.... Clarence and I have been rushing to get Mad for War Essentials ready for release later this week.
What is Mad for War Essentials ? The core rules to get gamers started with the new system. It contains everything you need except the tape measure, dice and table to get Mad for War launched and find your sea legs. Eh, everything...
It's here! Christmas came a little early..
Despite Brexit, Covid 19, National lockdown and a snap snowfall in Scotland - A one tonne pallet arrived from Lithuania via Thames Gateway and I unloaded it this morning.
A Taste of Victory! will ship to pre order customers on Monday and Tuesday next week which is 10 days earlier than I had anticipated. Hurrah!
I am happy that this project got from drawing board to market quicker than any I have...
Sneak peek: BLB scenarios book: A Taste of Victory

| Wonderful cover art by Neil Roberts |
I have been talking about it on an off over the last few months. We are pretty much there now. Over the next few weeks the first full scenarios book for BLB 3rd edition will be sent to print.

| Each scenario begins with some historical context |
The book is entitled A Taste of Victoryand offers eighteen scenarios set between 1676 and 1693. The table set ups are all...
The dust is settling.. With Talon and Claw reflections and a QRS!
The book reached its first customer on August 16th and now seems to have arrived in most corners of the globe. It was a massive relief to finish this project which had been all consuming for over eighteen months.
The final decision to print is always a bit like betting £50,000 on red. You know there is a risk that something will not be right but having checked and checked, you can't find it. It was...
Militia - all painted
 |
| various pikemen - Sedgemoor? Derry? Boston? |
It took a while but I finally got the lot painted and Toggy did some too! This post is just to illustrate the potential of these beautiful models.
 |
| Armed wth scythes, polearms and short pikes - Raparees? Huguenots? Town mob? |
I really enjoyed painting them - so easy.

| The musketmen - each has 4 arm variants so multiply the horde by four and there is still no... |
Exploring the possibilities - New Military civilians
The possibilities with these figures are enormous. With fifteen marching /advancing musketeers in three sets of five, each with four arm variants we offer 60 variants on the musketeers.
With the open handed models depending on the weapons used - scythes, short pikes, pole-arms, long pikes etc the options are there for a further 60 variants.
These are the first of a series of 'real' people in 'real'...
I've been waiting to tell you this for a long time...

| Military coats and informal equipment |
Back where it all began. A passionate interest in the wars between 1685 and 1721. No idea that I would become the owner of a figure company. Inheriting someone else's idea of how things should be done and trying to work with that whilst always wanting to move things in a slightly different direction. Picking up on ideas started by someone else which needed...
Eighth Wonder? Texel ship diorama Part 1
 |
| I was almost incontinent with excitement on seeing this level of detail. |
I am an unashamed Naval Nut and always have been. It doesn't matter what the subject is, if its in the water and looks remotely interesting I'll be all over it.

| Den Helder is home port to the Dutch fleet - Belgian frigate Leopold I in centre |
Having accidentally come across some pictures of the ship diorama at Texel about a year...
