The League of Augsburg

Clarence Harrison - So this was an epic undertaking. When Barry first unveiled the 4Play scenario pack concept, he invited me to join in. While I had a pile of ideas, I quickly realized I didn't have the models to present them in the manner I wished. We were eyeball deep in Mad for the Warat the time. As naval gaming had never been a passion of mine, I set out to read some books on the subject to...

 

Temperance stranded on the shoal 6th March

Too much going on, so unfortunately the blog was a casualty. Everything is good, lots of projects on the go, Warfare Miniatures really busy which is part of the problem! Too much casting keeps me away from many other important things.

Rupert and his French allies failed to capture Temperance

As a little place holder I thought I would feature the campaign...

 

Clarence Harrison - You can now order a physical copy of Donnybrook Essentials in North America (or the PDF anywhere in the world). If you order the book, you will also receive the PDF free of charge. We are still working out the logistics to make the book available to the rest of the planet, but we hope to have it up in the League of Augsburg shop soon.

For now US and Canadian customers can grab...

Mad for War is almost ready to be launched across the globe! You can download a copy of the Mad for War Quick Reference Sheet and get ready to set your sails for glory!

Clarence Harrison - It's been ten years since Barry and I published Donnybrook, our skirmish rules for 1660-1760. The book has been sold out for a while. We intend to release a second edition with the detail and full color treatment for which we are know (no date... it's in the queue... lol), there's a project I've been wanting to do for a while.

My introduction to wargaming was with the black and...

..every day and every night... In the words of Glasgow's own Frankie Miller Be good to yourself

I promised myself a northern waters game last Christmas, it was going to be Öland but that never took place because the lurgy got me and it nearly did it again this year, however... this hobby of ours is a powerful stimulus. So, sick a bed, I planned this...

One of the crossing points - hostile locals are present

This one has got to be one of the more unusual scenarios from an unusual campaign. Survivors from the scuttled treasury ship Santiago are attempting to reach civilization in the lower reaches of The Gambia. Crossing a monster infested bolon was not in the plan.

Harassed by native warbands lurking in the shadows just beyond the narrow trails,...

To boost your fleets, we are delighted to offer our squadron deals at £49 instead of the normal £56. Buying the equivalent number of ship packs would normally cost £63. 

Royal Sovereign

First, let me thank you all for your patience. We have been promising this book for over eighteen months. Why it took so long does not matter anymore. It will be delivered to Warfare Miniatures HQ before the end of January 2023 for immediate distribution.

A shipment will go on to Warfare USA the day after it arrives on my doorstep. Orders for the USA, Canada and US Territories should be made from...

Prince Rupert captures ships should be the byline here. Three Donnybrook/Donnybrook at Sea scenarios from down on the Gambia. The main man does incredibly well on the whole....

Hector 4Play pack Gambia #4

Fortune is grounded and under attack by Moroccan slavers

Colin has been coming to terms with his role as Prince Rupert in our currently running Gambia 1652 campaign. I believe Colin is coming to know and love the prince and has now taken to making decisions as if he were the man himself. Those of you who know Colin (possibly by his nickname of CKC - Colin Kills Colonels0 will recognize him as a...
