Story of a show game 5 - Forces : The Ottomans
 |
| Janissaries in full dress |
Putting the Ottoman force together for Donnybrook required a little thought. Should it fall under the Army Faction or under the Tribal Faction? Categorization under the latter may seem to be bordering on racist bearing in mind the Ottomans were for centuries one of the most formidable cultures and imperial powers in the known world yet, their army falls into an area...
Story of a show game 2 - The scenario
 |
| The Panzer Division will watch from the sidelines whilst the infantry slug it out |
The scenario for CRISIS 2018 is called Brahms & Liszt. It is set in 1713 on the south-eastern frontier or, north-western if you are Turkish! This is twenty years after our previous show effort of 2018 at TACTICA which also involved Imperial forces racing to over run the French in the German Grand National 1693.

Story of a show-game 1 - the trade off
 |
| LoA North American Chapter - Clarence did ALL the work for this one at Historicon 2016 |
Being a Team of two, you have to make decisions which are inevitably a compromise. I have captained some productive groups since starting on the Event Trail around 1992. Sometimes we were two, occasionally three, many times and for several years, I flew solo.

| Don't be 'leg-ist' please! |
I don't envy larger groups...

Warfare's Old and New Swedish Cavalry - All explained!
 |
| SC01 New troopers supplied with a random selection from 5 arm variants |
Several customers and Blog followers have inquired whether the new Swedish cavalry models are compatible with the very popular trooper we have been selling for the last 30 months.
Best way to start this piece is to show a comparison between them. In the above photo the two troopers on the left are from the original sculpt/model....
With this kind of view you are doing WHAT?

| Mrs H knows how to pick 'em - I get to look at this all day whilst thinking abut toy soldiers |
Well that's me. Travel does broaden the mind but I have things to do you see. I've got this BLB3 supplement to finish for the Great Northern War and the sun does not really agree with my Caledonian complexion anyway.
With a view like the above to inspire me (not of Landsknechts and Condotierre) but of Turks...

Wargames Illustrated dropped through my letterbox recently and in it there is a positive review of The War of Three Kings with some pretty pictures of Nick Eyre's wonderful 1672 collection being used to illustrate the rules.
Two well produced videos have been uploaded onto YouTube also by WI and the views and likes seems to indicate we might be on to something with the...

Building up the Panzer Division: Imperial Cuirassiers
Why would you not want to build the army that consistently contributed to the defence of Christian Europe and to facing down Christian Europe's most powerful Catholic monarch?
The Austrians/Habsburgs/Holy Roman Empire/Imperialist Army is the Janus of continental Europe - looking both South and North(west) at once.
For some reasons I always think the Austrians don't get a fair kick at the ball....
