Hunker in the Bunker
|
|
I had a couple of days off last week, hence no new release on Friday (and I’m also a bit behind on orders, most will be posted today but there are a couple left over – but everything should ship by the end of this week). Catching up with the release today, and continuing with […]

Packing Them In
|
|
The continued release of new and redesigned models means that occasionally we tweak the contents of our Aeronef and Spaceship fleet packs to accommodate the new vessels and increase the variety across them. To this end, we’ve just updated the contents of some of our British spaceship and German Aeronef packs. Conveniently we sold out […]

Luft Kreuzers
|
|
Our Aeronef update programme continues today with the release of five new German cruisers. Three replace the existing models, while the Hansa and Lützow are new designs. The Köln is one of the oldest German models in the range and both it and the Emden had small cast-on turrets. The new versions have separate turrets […]

Open House
|
|
It’s almost time for our local club, Maidstone Wargames Society, to hold its annual Open Day. This year it’s on Saturday June 22nd between 11am and 4pm, at the club’s usual meeting place in Linton, Kent. It’s not a conventional wargames show, there are no traders or bring-and-buy, and no entrance fee. Instead, the club […]

One of Our Submarines
|
|
Just in case your 1/1000th scale harbour needs somewhere to park a submarine, we have two different options available for you this weekend. The first, larger option is a blocky construction known as the Scorff Bunker, so called because it was built on the banks of the Scorff river running into the Lorient naval base […]

Our next show is due in a couple of weeks. It’s our local event, Broadside, run by the ever-friendly Milton Hundred Wargames Club. Both Phil and I will be there in our customary spot. It’s held at the Swallows Leisure Centre in Sittingbourne from 10am to 4pm – a convenient ten minute walk from home […]

The Whole of the Moon
|
|
This week we have some additions to our 6mm moonbase. We added two new buildings to the 15mm moonbase at Salute and both have now transitioned to the smaller scale. Both are hemispherical domes, one is a smaller storage module while the second is a larger utility version with windows. The latter has the option […]

Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolverines?
|
|
A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to again spend a day rolling dice and pushing tanks with Miniature Wargames editor and author of The Crucible, John Treadaway. We played a large Hammer’s Slammers game with over 160 elements on table in over a dozen different detachments – John attacked my dug-in Lightning […]

Finally Facing My Waterloo
|
|
For ages I’ve been planning to add a set of Waterloo buildings to the Small Scale Scenery range. To be honest I have also spent some of the time putting them off, since my first initial look into them showed that quite a bit of research would be needed along with a measure of educated […]

Small Scale Eastern Front
|
|
Following on from last week’s Celtos Gaels post, another selection of photos that fell between the Salute cracks was this fine selection of Small Scale Scenery from Charles Rowntree. Like a number of other gamers, he likes to use our 1/1000th scale buildings with 6mm figures so that they are more in line with the […]
