Clarence Harrison - The January issue of Wargames Illustrated just hit the stands (or you can now get a digital copy) and it features the most in depth look yet at Donnybrook. Barry and I layout many of the basics of the rules and give a look into the reasons behind some of them. There is also an overview of what else is contained in the book. Finally you can read about how I tricked Mr Hilton...

Clarence Harrison - Donnybrook will be sent to the printer in a few days and will be available for pre-order very soon (watch this space). It has taken a year of work that I have thoroughly enjoyed.

Barry Hilton - My preoccupation with all things spooky is a source of amusement to my wargaming  friends but from an early age I have always been interested in ghosts, witches, haunted houses and things that scare me. Recently when clearing out 50 years of family hording from my mother's house I found an old board game from the 1960's called Haunted Housewhich I used to love playing with my pals...

This action takes place somewhere in North America in the 1680's and pits English armed frontiersmen and soldiers facing off against native Americans. The English forces have been off raiding French settlements and two wagon loads...

David O'Brien - This photograph was taken during a photo session at Barry Hilton's a few months back and is the starting point for one of my Donnybrook scenarios, Saving the Slaves which I just fought a couple of weeks back, you can see a report of the game on my own blog, Dave's Toy Box.

The slaves waiting to be rescued, I bought these figures a few years ago  and I think they are produced by Eurek...

SCENARIO MAP

David O'Brien - This is a scenario for Donnybrook and although I have set this around the area of Tangiers in the 1689's it could easily be transported to Spain, Italy, Belgium, Bavaria or Ireland. The rules are not yet available (though they will be soon), but you could easily run this with any skirmish set.

Following on from the recent attacks on Fort Henrietta and destruction of the...

David O'Brien - Following on from my recent post regarding the Tangiers regiment here are the opposition, the Moors.  These have also been based for gaming using Clarence's Donnybrook rules and are a mixture of figures from various manufacturers, mostly Gripping Beast, Hinchliffe and The Assault Group.

By the period of fighting that I'm interested in 1680's, the Moors had been heavily influenced by...
