"Sir,
I wanted to take a moment to let you
know how much I appreciate your
book, "All Honor is Lost". I have been pouring
over it constantly, ever since I picked up my
copy from Perry Miniatures last summer.
I am working my way through the scenarios,
using Black Powder as my rules of choice.
I am REALLY looking forward to your next
installment, "His Moment of Destiny".
I can't wait to re-fight "Venta de Echavarri",
"Second Arquijas" and especially "Arlaban".
Thank you for all your hard work and dedication.
You have really brought The First Carlist War to
life for me and my son.

Hi all, </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's been a long time since I posted news but I've sailed some rough seas and it has been very hard to get the ship to a safe port. Now that the weather is getting better I can resume course and continue the journey. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm happy to say that the figures are back in stock and I've updated prices and P&P so now it's cheaper and easier to order. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you are willing to support this project it goes without saying that the more orders I receive the better it will be for the range to develop and get new packs released. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thank you very much to all that have helped me along the way and still believe that it can be done.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Best regards, </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hi,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There's no release date for the Brazilian infantry yet as I decided to have the Line Infantry (Fuzileiros) done first. So, the next packs will be:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">-Fusiliers, marching (w/ kepi; barracks cap)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">-Fusiliers, skirmishing (w/ kepi; barracks cap)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">-Fusiliers Command (2 officers, 2 standard bearers, 2 musicians)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Starting now I'll accept pre-orders for the miniatures as a form of crowdfunding. The miniatures for both armies will be sculpted based on stretch goals and on the amount of pre-orders raised. Basically for every three packs I'll need to raise £2000 for sculpting and production. As soon as that goal is reached the figures will enter the production line. For every £6000 achieved a mounted command pack will be released (free for pre-orders). If you change your mind you can request a refund. All pre-orders are post free.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cheers,</span><br />

Still on holidays but will be back soon. A photo of 3 nicelypainted test figures is available on Tarleton's Quarter blog. Hope to have more painted figures from Steve May in a few weeks. Enjoy.<span style="color: blue;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A new exhibition at the V&A Museum of Childhood explores the history of playing at war.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIB5USB31tu2SyIijxOnxllOwiaHKFdVkjuSgMHEqlA0Vf_lI07q7DHOvAH7_1_qmKkVHtroV3hFNLfiP8eK5YPP_cCfmk5u_0D-tcPLb15e1a0wsJx5i9_Q-9U_At21YLHOMg/s1600/war-games_2564781b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="199" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIB5USB31tu2SyIijxOnxllOwiaHKFdVkjuSgMHEqlA0Vf_lI07q7DHOvAH7_1_qmKkVHtroV3hFNLfiP8eK5YPP_cCfmk5u_0D-tcPLb15e1a0wsJx5i9_Q-9U_At21YLHOMg/s320/war-games_2564781b.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The
exhibition's earliest exhibit is a simple German board game, based on
fox and geese, called the Art of Beseiging, from the start of the 19th
century. Children played at war before then, but this period marked a
dramatic change. Games have always mirrored technology, and real war was
changing fast. Gunpowder weapons had become too powerful for armies to
practise on manoeuvres as they once had. Leaders came up with solutions.
In 1780, an adjutant to the Duke of Brunswick wanted to create a new
version of chess that reflected contemporary battle conditions. His
board had 1,617 squares, rather than 64, with varying terrains and many
new pieces. This kriegsspiel (literally "war game") was very popular,
and over the next decades the Prussian general staff developed their own
variants. Superior generalship is widely agreed to have been one of the
main reasons for Prussia's defeat of France in 1870-71, and gaming was,
by then, a big part of Prussian leadership training.</span></div>
