Another counterfeiter stealing from the
wargames industry ...........
Can you help us to identify any of the models
in the photograph below please ?
They were bought from Kevin Hinton in Burton Latimer. He trades as
led.zepplin.58 and creptinthecryptcrappedandcreptbackoutagain on Ebay.
We have visited Mr. Hinton's home address but the man who answered the door,
with Mr. Hinton's dogs, was, apparently, not Mr. Hinton so we were not able
to discuss the items with him
Mr. Hinton has failed to respond to the cease and desist letter we were
legally obliged to deliver.We are in talks with Trading Standards and the Police.
We do not have
the time to investigate all of the items.
We know that some are PP items but if anyone could notify any other
companies involved that would be appreciated.

Open mouths? yes or no |
Rules |
||
Gamers often ask why Peter pig figures
have open mouths. In fact, some not very bright individuals, have even
questioned whether men would have open mouths whilst in combat! Well,
here are some reasons you might consider or even disagree with
As an aside one could look at the paintings of Don Troiani featuring soldiers in combat , whom seems much better informed than the pompous "soldiers fight with closed mouths" types. |
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” | The team are presently working on a new version of square bashing. Fifty percent done. | |

A proposed alternative fight sheet is being prepared that will use fewer dice and include some other ideas. I must stress that this is an alternative rather than a replacement. |

Monocacy Scenario in CWB Dan has had some thoughts on the scenario and suggested modifications/improvements. |
|
ACW Cavalry now out. 8 new packs with three more planned. These are one piece castings designed to make painting easier, the figures tougher and the poises more integral.. Click here |
|
| I am already adjusting the scenario in CWB to start at the 1530 push into Thomas House with the climax at the Georgetown Pike. I am only going to use Gordon's Division with assaults from Evans, York and Terry against Rickett and Wallace falling back from the house to the Pike which will provide them some defensive cover. Just not sure that as you have it now under Gordon 5A, 3A and 4V is enough to historically push the Ricketts 7a, 7a and Wallace's 5r, and 3a. I will try it that way to see what happens. I am leaving the Rebs Ramseur's infantry out except for the battery which was shelling the Union right flank from across the river. | AWI Latest packs are British grenadier command (standard) and command for the battalion. The latter pack can be used for line battalions too. Kevin Fisher has made these excellent counters for the WA. Use them! Thanks Kevin. |
