For Ireland and King James
It is time to give the Irish army which fought against Willem van Oranje between 1689 and 1691, the attention it has long been denied. For nearly three years it campaigned without proper resources and funding. Its opponents were in the main, professionals from all over Europe.
Against a backdrop of enormous political and social upheaval it continued to fight for King James II/VII whilst being constantly weakened by factionalism and cynical manipulation from Versailles.
This book is a guide to the infantry regiments which fought in the final campaign during the summer of 1691 culminating in the Battle of Aughrim and the second siege of Limerick. It provides invaluable insight into the provenance, officers and history of each formation. It is lavishly illustrated by Clarence Harrison and provides inspiration for wargamers to recreate the campaigns fought in Ireland on the tabletop.

Donnybrook Essentials
Donnybrook is a fast and fun skirmish game which is easy to pick up and full of period flavor. This booklet is 36 pages half A4 sized, cardstock cover and saddle stitched to produce and old school feel and contains all the rules you need to run swashbuckling adventures!
You can download templates to make your own cards for the game on the League of Augsburg blog.
In the tradition of the old school books Donnybrook Essentials is meant to honor, the booklet has been produced in multiple color covers (at least in the US… still working on logistics for the rest of the planet). These will be randomly supplied unless you really want a particular color, in which case you can get in touch when you order! The booklet will also come with a card stock play sheet, folded to fit neatly inside.
When you order the physical copy of Donnybrook Essentials, you will get the PDF for free.

That thorny old issue... Scales

| sample page from Rolling Thunder! |
We are developing new products all the time. Right now I am close to finishing and publishing the Mad for War fleet rules which are called Rolling Thunder! The system uses multi-based ships on a 1:1 basis utilizing smaller scale models to facilitate the painting and use of entire fleets in the Anglo-Dutch War period. This can mean upward of 100 ships per side.

Cruisers!

| Seven German cruisers search for their opponents |
I painted up a bunch of 1/4800 WWI era armoured cruisers to play a few games at home. This scenario is on a 4 x 2' table. The rules are Majestic 12's Grand Fleet. I have been familiarizing myself with these for a couple of weeks.
The Germans thus far have not done so well. I constructed two equal points orbats which pitted a British armoured cruiser...

| Panorama of the icy ending to the scenario |
Last evening, Colin and I played Fog of War – the 4Play scenario for the Battle of Hudson’s Bay, 1697. It is unusual because the fighting takes place amidst the pack ice and in a thick fog. The mechanisms for contact in the fog produce ship disorientation and repositioning relative to other ships.
