The League of Augsburg
The Guns of August 2018, Sunday
Whew! Third game went totally different from the previous two. Though the Jacobites did manage to get all of their plunder across the ford (in eleven turns.. don't tell Dannie), they were slaughtered to a man save several units of horse who retreated in good order from the field.

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...

Ottomans - keeping them coming!

| 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.

The Guns of August 2018
Progress...
The static grass I use comes in sheets, so once the glue is good and dry, I can feather the edges and blend it in to make look a little more natural. That's it... I'll post another pic of the finished table with all of the rest of terrain in place this weekend...

This means, we will take email pre-orders from the publication of this post for the six...

White-out at Aspern-Essling - reflections on Claymore
