GNW play test at Partizan

| Playing length ways on an 8 x 6 table offers the Swedes space to get moving and depth to the defending Russians |
Toggy and I cobbled together our Partizan game literally at the last minute for a variety of reasons. Needless to say, it looked fine and served and important purpose - that being; to showcase some of mechanisms written for inclusion in our War of Three KingsGNW/Eastern wars supplement...

| Managed to complete one full code - Campaign dress Janissaries loading/priming |
OK - the big job - prepping 90 models for the production moulds has been done this week, Scraping and filing castings which are not going to be painted is a very tedious job so I punctuated that by quickly painting a few more of the new castings.

These are speed...
Ottoman news! - they'll be with you very soon

| Warfare Miniatures' top selling code WLOA01 - Musketeers in firing line |
As the hot summer continues, I am comforted by finally being in the UK for two consecutive weeks having worked as hard as I can remember in the last few years. Cloning technology would have been very welcome in the Hilton house in 2018.

Warfare's Old and New Swedish Cavalry - All explained!
 |
| SC01 New troopers supplied with a random selection from 5 arm variants |
Several customers and Blog followers have inquired whether the new Swedish cavalry models are compatible with the very popular trooper we have been selling for the last 30 months.
Best way to start this piece is to show a comparison between them. In the above photo the two troopers on the left are from the original sculpt/model....
With this kind of view you are doing WHAT?

| Mrs H knows how to pick 'em - I get to look at this all day whilst thinking abut toy soldiers |
Well that's me. Travel does broaden the mind but I have things to do you see. I've got this BLB3 supplement to finish for the Great Northern War and the sun does not really agree with my Caledonian complexion anyway.
With a view like the above to inspire me (not of Landsknechts and Condotierre) but of Turks...

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'...
