I already have a number of Warhammer Orc units painted and will use the Warhammer Age of Sigma starter box to provide some opposition and add to these with one or two extra purchases to build a small army (most likely from ebay).
the next project |
Finally, some more second hand books arrived. I have Ancient and Medieval Wargaming as an eBook and just wanted to get a hardcopy. The Wargamers Guide to Dark Age Britain was reasonably priced and too tempting to pass by. The Saxons and Normans will quite possibly be on the tabletop in teh near future. Finally, Battle Notes for Wargamers was purchased mostly for nostalgia, but I am very tempted to create the Raid on St Nazaire once I complete the current WW2 campaign.

Great new books Peter - I only have the Featherstone but the other two look interesting.
ReplyDeleteThe Ancient and Medieval War-gaming completes the Neil Thomas collection. I just enjoy reading the background and logic put forward my Mr Thomas for his rule design.
DeleteI have recently been tempted to pulling my 15mm AWI collection from storage and giving them a test.
ReplyDeleteGood additions to your classics collection. While I have the bookends in this trio, I have not seen the middle one.
I would best describe The Wargamer's Guide to Dark Age Britain as being 75 percent history and background with quite a few battles described with supporting maps, and 25 percent wargaming material and rules. I must say it looks very interesting at first glance and runs to 288 pages for the paperback.
DeleteYou certainly don't let the grass grow Peter! ECW, WWII, AWI, Medieval....all actively on the go. I'm jealous!
ReplyDeleteI try and keep my games smallish and simple so they can be completed in under an hour. That way I can setup and play a game in during an evening.
DeleteHmmm! Food for thought there. I need to tackle my megalomania.
DeleteYou have been busy gaming! In regards to the books, I also have the As Told in the Great Hall and have planned for the last four years or so to run through the scenarios in the book. But alas no. I did enjoy reading it. Almost all my rules and books are in storage at the moment, but not that one (I still hope to play them!).
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to reading Told in the Great Hall as I have not read much about the Dark Ages before 1066.
ReplyDeleteHe 155 AWI troops, and great book finds!
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to reading them.
