Some Updates

 Sugar Islands and Against Spain 

Prices for these have gone up, as mentioned previously. Details are on the Buy my Books table at the top of the page and now of course you can also get them from Caliver Books and also from On Military Matters in the US.

Feud 

If you're a follower of the blog you'll know I've done some stuff for the Marian Civil War and more specifically the Gordon Forbes Feud in 16th Century Scotland. I have been working on this on and off for a while and it will form the subject of my next book. 




However prior to that some of it will hopefully be popping up in a well known wargamers seasonal book as part of an article with a gentleman from the northern isles. Watch this space for more details.

Feud will be released in January 23. 

19thC Indian Mutiny, etc

I have been building up a collection of Indian Mutiny figures as the extension of my Afghan and Sikh Wars collections. I swapped my seldom used ACW collection for some lovely foundry Mutineers and British infantry to which I will add a few more units to bring it up to TMWWBK sized forces. I've added some pictures below. To lift the foundry figures to the height of the ever so slightly taller Iron Duke figs I slipped a shim of card under the formers bases, I think it does the trick. 

I've really liked painting up more baggage units - this time a dhoolie and a bheestie. 



Finally and staying on the 19th C I have also acquired some lovely Retreat from Kabul figures. Now that the old Studio Miniatures range is available from Bicorne Miniatures, together with the Empress Range,  I can add a good variety of cold weather clad figures to my Afghan war stuff....and use them for the Patriots Rebellion in Canada. 




It's all go' round 'ere.😁

The cold weather figures from the Retreat from Kabul look amazing. I had not seen them before. Fantastic looking!
