Neue Kampagne Zeitung - SYW like you've never had it !

I've posted in the 19th Century Archive - Warchest two issues of the occasional newsletter created by my very oldest and dearest wargaming chums Alasdair Jamison & David Shuttleworth. These are little comic gems and just make me wish I lived back down in Manchester and could game with them every wee...

Some talking points between Sgt Steiner & Barr7430 re: F

Barr7430 On the subject of FoW lack of realism. I share some of your views. Biggest lack of realism - altenate turns coupled with Company level games where two platoons of infantry have tanks support, divisional artillery support, flak and AT support. In other words a Division in microcosm. NOT rea...

Hi All, I think quite a few people had experienced trouble with a corrupted link to the Rev2 Version of ULB. Some had also deleted the link by the time the correction was posted so this evening it has gone out again to all subscribers. Seems to be trouble free this time. Hope it's what you're lookin...

Unfortunately I don't have them in a cohesive form in one place currently but will be motivated to do it very soon as these are the rules(amended for 1680's) that I'll use for the Sedgemoor demo game at Part...

Hi Lenin, Yes of course I can do a `how I paint my figures' type guide and will try and do so before too long. Basing also. I suspect many of my techniques are no different from those used by other painters but I am happy to share them. I am primarily a wargamer and this has in many ways conditioned...

Jonathan I know exactly what you mean and I agree but in terms of the scale of the game it would be a little unrealistic for the following reasons: 1. The figure to man ratio is approx 1:30 which means that a 9 figure unit would equate to 270 men approximately. The average squadron during the period...

Two options: Make 'em! or use the Napoleonic ones from GMB. Thin Red Line may have some other ideas as he is the Crimean buff
