ironic backdrop location to work on the GNW

I have been a bit quiet over the last ten days in particular as work and travel has consumed all waking hours and kept me off the blog and forum pretty much 100%.

Having managed to clock up 22,000 miles in the last 10 days I am afraid my work on the BLB GNW supplement may include some errors. These are only partly due to the time zone confusion but also my...

Code P1 Prussian musketeers advancing

Alas, I have not yet had time to paint any of the new Prussian infantry which we will soon release:

P01 Prussian musketeers marching
P02 Prussian Grenadiers marching
P03 Prussian Command marching
P04 Prussian musketeers firing
P05 Prussian musketeers loading

I'll hopefully get to that soon although travel is currently the rate limiting step. In the meantime Mr...

I'll let the pictures do the talking in this post. I have now had a bit of a chance to play around with the new Swedish cavalry. Although I have not painted all 20 different models, nor put the various arms in the different positions, I did manage to get a bit of variety going.



I really believe these will become the benchmark Swedish cavalry for the Great Northern War. I'll do another couple of...

We are still marching forward and relentless

Let's start this Saturday with a BIG THANKS to all followers and visitors to our modest blog! We have today exceeded our millionth page view.

At recent events where the League of Augsburg has had representation we've noticed an increasing tendency for people to comment on how much they enjoy the blog. These comments are almost always qualified with detail...

A ten year, iterative process

Wargames Illustrated dropped through my letterbox recently and in it there is a positive review of The War of Three Kings with some pretty pictures of Nick Eyre's wonderful 1672 collection being used to illustrate the rules.





Two well produced videos have been uploaded onto YouTube also by WI and the views and likes seems to indicate we might be on to something with the...

General view of the League of Augsburg table at Partizan

We had the full first team on the park for Partizan on a glorious May Sunday. After a great evening, visiting the Queen's Sconce at Devon Park, walking the banks of the Trent Navigation channel, one or two libations and a nice Thai meal we were ready for action!

We went wandering around the weirs and bridges to keep us out of the Public Houses

Prussians loading

We are delighted to be able to preview some outstanding masters of Danish and Prussia/Brandenburg musketeers in Firing line. These models can be used for both the War of the Spanish Succession (WSS) and the Great Northern War (GNW).

Prussians Firing

Both nations contributed to the armies of the Grand Alliance and fought as part of their national armies against the Swedes. The Danes...

This interview was recorded right after we had played a game set in 1672 using Nick Eyre's wonderful collection. The game featured a numerically inferior Dutch Army taking on the mighty French during the infamous Rampjaar (Disaster Year).

Dan allows me to ramble on about the rules, why we made certain decisions and future developments from Warfare/WordTwister.

Some of Steve Shann's wonderful collection of Warfare Miniatures cavalry

We are very much looking forward to Partizan on Sunday and we have a full team on the park - Toggy, DOB and myself.

We are demo-ing The War of Three Kings in the setting of Flanders and if anyone wants to come along, throw some dice, ask some questions then please do - We're ready!

Warfare Miniatures products will be on sale...

Wargames Illustrated have posted a nice (and well executed) video review of the rules on You Tube

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.

Unlike Bunter's PO.. WTK did finally...
