Dropped into the Foundry factory shop last Monday and they had crates of blisters all for £5 each. Apparently they've been placed out ready for the open day this Friday. These are not advertised on the website and not part of the current 30% discount deal, so if you live locally get stuck in. They h...

Ok guys. Just ordered 'In the Heart of Africa' rules from Northstar figures. Look forwards to giving it a try. I'll probably pick up TSATF later in the year.

All the Best,
M.

Dave,

That's excellent. I've heard of In the Heart of Africa, and the fact your mate has done some tweaking to the rules making it applicable to IM is an absolute bonus!

Love the pics on the website too.

Many thanks

Thanks Rob, I've checked out the Sword and the Flame website, and read a few reviews. It sounds like they're an ideal set to pick up and well established with plenty of expansions etc. However, my main problem has been finding someone in the uk/europe who sells them (or who sells them over the web i...

Hey folks, I've gathered together a decent amount of Indian Mutiny figures from Foundry Miniatures and I'm looking for advice on a ruleset to go with them. They're all 28mm and individually based. Members at my local club have played a previous game or two with the Sharp Practice rules (Too Fat Lard...

Part way through my Indian Mutiny models I bought from the Foundry open day at Christmas. Picked up 3 or so boxes of twenty models each from their bargain section (£5 per box). Since then I've grabbed some sepoys and an Elephant pulling a limber, along with some nice looking Brits (although I've not...

Thanks for the info, I've checked online and the Paddy griffiths books seem quite difficult to find. However the Katcher "American Civil War Source Book" is still available. I'm constantly trawling second hand book shops and have managed to grab alot of out of print stuff in the past at bargain pric...

Just played a nice game of ACW (my first for that period) using the 'Johnny Reb' rules. It has stimulated my interest quite a bit in doing some reading around the conflict. Can anyone suggest some good reading material? I noticed the John Keegan book called "The American Civil War" today in watersto...

Just finished my 12lb French cannons and crew (above). I've posted more pictures on my blog site (link underneath) along with a small short review of our clubs first 'Republic to Empire' game.

This is currently top of my wish list. It sounds like a fantastic and comprehensive book. Even though I've placed it down as a possible Christmas present I doubt if I can actually wait that long. I've been primarily a WW2 and Napoleonics gamer (the latter even more recently) but this is likely to wi...

Many thanks for your help guys. I'm getting an idea of what I want/need for my British cavalry now. The Front Rank miniatures that Ray and Quindia have pointed out definitely swayed my decision to place an order. As much as I like the Perry and Victrix models I sometimes find the assembly a hassle. ...

I definitely like the look of those KGL, and I've just been reading some good things about them in Alessandro Barbero's book on Waterloo called "The Battle".

Quinidia. What make are your KGL models? I checked your blog site but couldn't find the details.

Hey guys, Just started posting on the forum, so thought I'd introduce myself. I've started wargaming and collecting again after a hiatus of some years. My main models are Flames of War, but I've recently found an interest in Napoleonics (being the 'classic' wargames figures I suppose). The latter dr...

I've recently bought some Victrix French Infantry and some Foundry 12lb cannon and crew. I'd agree with the above comments that the Foundry models are quite different in size when placed alongside. I'll keep using them for now but perhaps look towards either collecting together a full army of Foundr...
