Partizan May 2019 - Warfare pre order and Wagonburg game
 |
| The Wagonburg in 'draft' still has a fair amount of work to be done but the idea is obvious. |
I am very much looking forward to Partizan on May 19th. The game will be a first outing for my scratch built Wagonburg for the Ottomans. I am still in the process of building bits and pieces of the defence works and equipment.
 |
| All of the items are scratch built to some degree. |
The biggest question I have is...
I painted them thar Ottermans
 |
| Code OT07 Tufeckci firing |
I know, several months late. C minus on report card and detention for me. Nevertheless, painting these thirty models in five days was not as onerous a chore as it may at first sound.
They were really fun to do. The sculpting is wonderful and the poses interesting and natural.

The reason? Eagles and lions with their talons and claws appear in almost all of the arms of the combatant nations of the Great Northern and Eastern Wars - Swedes, Danes, Saxons, Prussians, Poles, Imperialists and...

It's all over for another year.. the feeding frenzy that is SALUTE. Despite the doom laden warnings of imminent economic armageddon and our isolation from the rest of the humanity, the Great British Wargaming Public did what we do best.. Carried on, regardless!

I have not been blogging with regularity over the last three weeks simply because I have snatched every waking hour to finish off the last photos for the new GNW supplement for Beneath the Lily Banners.

| The offending piece |
I am not even allowed to use the word snowflake in the house without a censorious eyebrow being raised by my daughter. I know I am not alone in my complete bemusement regarding what people will take offence about next. At work, what my team are now OK to say or not say in terms of illustrating business life lessons is like walking through a minefield (oops, probably not allowed...

No, I can't believe it either. SALUTE 2019 is in about four weeks. Somewhere in my head I could hear a voice saying, you'd better start planning for SALUTE which is in a couple of months.
Anyway, enough of this already. Here is a special offer for any products pre-ordered for SALUTE.

| Cossack infantry advancing |
Invigorated by the excellent progress being made on the GNW Supplement for BLB, I treated myself to some painting which was not actually on the very backlogged schedule.
In addition to the painting I did some more reading on Cossacks and found that over the years I had fallen into swallowing a few cliches about them. Perhaps it was too much exposure to the Battleground hex...
A little more?...

| Didn't make it into the book but, a nice shot anyway - Saxons defend part of a village. |
The book project is now in full swing and I am getting updated layout drafts sent to me every few days which give a very encouraging progress check simply because the suggested additions and changes are visible when it comes back!
