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.

I don't envy larger groups...
Militia - all painted
 |
| various pikemen - Sedgemoor? Derry? Boston? |
It took a while but I finally got the lot painted and Toggy did some too! This post is just to illustrate the potential of these beautiful models.
 |
| Armed wth scythes, polearms and short pikes - Raparees? Huguenots? Town mob? |
I really enjoyed painting them - so easy.

Exploring the possibilities - New Military civilians
The possibilities with these figures are enormous. With fifteen marching /advancing musketeers in three sets of five, each with four arm variants we offer 60 variants on the musketeers.
With the open handed models depending on the weapons used - scythes, short pikes, pole-arms, long pikes etc the options are there for a further 60 variants.
These are the first of a series of 'real' people in 'real'...
Kurpfalz Feldherren do the '45 at Tactica
Some Summer pictures of a winter time game from Germany.
Those very talented chaps - Jurgen, Sven, Stefan and Mirko aka the Kurpfalz Feldherren have done it again with this wonderful '45 Rebellion Donnybrook game at Tactica.
Their table was beautiful and contained four forces - French, Highlanders,...

Warfare, Quindia and Wordtwister: Here is the news 2018

| Our most commercially successful SALUTE for four years |
2018 has been a busy year for us so far. The big job was getting 'Billy Bunter's Postal Order' to finally arrive, aka The War of Three Kings ( Beneath the Lily Banners 3rd Edition). The book has been very well received and importantly for our continuing input to the hobby, commercially successful already.

We are looking forward to SALUTE 2018 where Warfare Miniautes will have its own stand TB21.
You will we hope, be able to find Toggy and I as we have a BLOODY BIG BANNER with the cover of The War of Three Kings on it!

| Military coats and informal equipment |
Back where it all began. A passionate interest in the wars between 1685 and 1721. No idea that I would become the owner of a figure company. Inheriting someone else's idea of how things should be done and trying to work with that whilst always wanting to move things in a slightly different direction. Picking up on ideas started by someone else which needed...
Limbers for Field Guns
Clarence Harrison - Right, here's a proper limber this time - none of that dodgy strapping a gun to the back of the poor horse...
Obviously a field gun would be pulled by more than two horses, but in the same spirit that calls 18 men a battalion, I wanted to keep the footprint of the limber to a minimum for my usual 4x6' table. As before, the gun is not attached and was lifted from one of my field...

Donnybrook in Sleepy Hollow, Part 2 - Converting Bokkenrijders
Cat Reddington-Wilde: This time we'll look at the foot sloggers.
Foot Mob #1 received head masks with twisted cloth goat horns, in the style of those worn by the mob in the TV series. Some horns are added with bits of green putty. Others are carved in. Figures that started with hats, I carved down the crowns to be head-wrap size and clipped off most of the brim, but left some bits of brim to carve...
