The League of Augsburg
A Few New Flags for 1815...
Clarence Harrison - Napoleonics was my first love in wargaming before falling down the rabbit hole that led to the period of floppy hats and tricorns. While I've mostly concentrated on adding flags to the shops that can be carried proudly by Warfare Miniatures, I've had it in mind to expand to other periods. There's been a lull in Mad for Warfor the last few weeks while we've been going over the...
Left field but.... there's more!
In advance of a little announcement Clarence is going to make on the blog in the next day or so I thought I would drop a big hint with this video. I have actually been meaning to do this for a long time but MrH's little project has prompted me to extract the digit and get this produced in a mere 2 days which is somewhat of a record.
I enjoyed it!

Gareth Lane's Gard te Voet
More lovely work from Gareth's growing collection. It will be a real joy to see this collection on a table at a show somewhere when we finally settle down to normal once more.
Gareth's lovely warm painting style is set off by great basing and of course, Clarence's wonderful flags.
What better unit to show case the work than the Gard te Voet.
It's St Patrick's Day so...
We can't let today pass without featuring some Irish action from the Nine Years War on the blog. So I thought the best way to pay tribute to the theatre and the fighting men which has given me the most stimulation to understand the period in the last thirty years was to simply create a photo montage of action and inspiration in Ireland from the League of Augsburg..
Happy St Patrick's day to...

Hilton's revenge! New Pirate flags!
I am sure you have heard of Blackbeard's ship, Queen Anne's Revenge. When we started with Donnybrook a few years back Mr. Harrison, of this parish, got me all fired up to the extent that I painted and based the thick end of 200 miniatures which feature liberally in Donnybrook. He, on the other hand, painted... none!
Old score's are best settled cold. So this is Hilton's Revenge! I have worked on...

Our original print run is almost sold out. Clarence has a few copies in the US and I have a handful here in the UK. After that, it...

Guest post: Gareth Lane's mega NYW project Allied left wing
Gareth's long running project is nearing completion. He has been kind enough to share the photos as it has developed over the months.
I am sure you will recognize many of the units he has chosen as I did. His lovely, warm painting style combines excellently with attractive basing and Quindia Studios wonderful flags to produce truly breathtaking forces for the tabletop.
I understand Gareth and...
Warfare Miniatures.. some progress on restocking and an update on flag orders
Just a note to let everyone know that a trickle of stock has started to arrive at HQ. I have limited supplies of some codes which are currently 'off site' but I will reload over the next couple of days. I have also placed a whacking great stock order which I believe, our casters will be starting on today. That will come through in batches so things will take a while to get back to normal.

While the Russians or Swedes are the obvious choice, the Danish army has always been a favorite of mine. My usual process when...
