The League of Augsburg

Synthesizing.. it's what I do


We are attempting to collate disparate information sources into a central pool and challenge some dubious 'facts'

The process of compiling our uniform and unit history guides is one I enjoy very much. I liken it to cold-case detection work or forensic accounting... that doesn't sound hugely exciting but in fact, the activity is absorbing and extremely rewarding.

I do not see myself as an author. In...

Partizan -debrief

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

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

Interview with Barry - The War of Three Kings

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.

Amazing stories of Derring Do from Tactica..

Having at the last minute decided not to run this game at Partizan in favour of a Flanders Bash it is nice to give it one last airing here with some 'real life war stories' from the field of battle in Germany..


Notice the organized progress of these fine Danish Commanders!

Our Great German Horse race ran five times during the Tactica show. We entertained German, Danish and English players and ended...

Warfare Miniatures GNW picture gallery


Occasionally it's time for some unashamed picture overdrive without the commentary. Here are some nice shots from the Great Northern War range which hopefully will inspire some of you to the brush.

Building up the Panzer Division: Imperial Cuirassiers




Why would you not want to build the army that consistently contributed to the defence of Christian Europe and to facing down Christian Europe's most powerful Catholic monarch?




The Austrians/Habsburgs/Holy Roman Empire/Imperialist Army is the Janus of continental Europe - looking both South and North(west) at once.




For some reasons I always think the Austrians don't get a fair kick at the ball....

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...
