We interrupt this programme...

 We interrupt this programme...
... to bring news of a big re-organisation, and as a result a few items for sale.

Andy and I have a table booked at Partizan for the "bring n buy".
I've been having a bit of a clear out of projects that are dormant or non-starters.

As a result there are some painted figures available. If you'd like to purchase, i'm pricing favourably at around £6 ish per infantryman.

Some French TYW figures from "1898 Miniatures"... a nice unit for the Rocroi period:

There are some unpainted figures for this project available too.

Next up, Samurai:

There are 3 units of these (12 figures per unit) - 2 units are shown, plus there is an additional Teppo unit.
Again, looking for £6 per figure), but will take less for a bulk buy of the three units.

I've also got a TAG Spanish Renaissance Tercio available (30+pike and 16 shot) for French wars of Religion. They are unbased so will fit any rules system you like.

There were some 1672 period units available, but they've been snapped up!

If you'd like to reserve any of the above units, drop me an email: Phil(at)PhilOlley(dot)com

There's also lots of unpainted stuff, and some books, bits of terrain and the like. Search us out at the 11.30 table slot.

End of advert.
Back to normal posts shortly...

Han Chinese v Indians

My first Hail Caesar game occurred earlier in the year. I used Andy Moran's Indian army, playing against John Kersey's Han Chinese, with Andy acting as umpire/games master.

Just a few pictures...

Andy produced the rather nice terrain items shown which really added lots of character to the game. Very evocative.

Below: John's Han Chinese.

Above: Andy's Indians.

It was a swings and roundabouts affair with fortunes favouring one side then the other. As I remember, a series of unlucky break tests meant the Han Chinese grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory and I was, somehow triumphant having been on the verge of collapse!

For those on Facebook, Andy has set up a hobby page called "Flamin' Pig!" which he is using to record our ancients games and his progress with the many armies he is building. Pop over and have a look and follow what he's up to. It's very impressive stuff.

I'll be adding more images of some of our recent games here in the coming days.
