Megorsky: a review of the Russian Army in the GNW - An essential!
This book is an essential asset for anyone interested in the Great Northern War. I believe it will become the benchmark hobby book for the Petrine Army and although it does not mention figure gaming specifically, it focuses on detail and content continually sought by gamers.
Comparing it with publications of the past, the gulf between it and assumption, conjecture and the rehash of secondary or...
Warfare Miniatures - price changes
Lots of companies try and lead into difficult news with the back story. I prefer to be to the point.
I want to let customers know that Warfare Miniatures will be increasing the prices of certain codes from August 1st 2018.
Having told you that, I can now explain a little about why we are doing this.

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...
What you can do with the new Swedish cavalry
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...

Poltava part 2 - the terrain
Jon and Diane used artificial grass for the terrain and the manual paint job was very effective. The playing surface is very robust and would take a fair bit of punishment if unfortunate enough to experience it.
The table was twenty feet by six and the paints used were I understand, commercial emulsions. The paint job was completed by running the mats over a wallpapering table.
The redoubts are...
