  There are loads of really great figures this month, all worthy of a newsletter of their own. Plastic WW2 Germans from Warlord Games, Plastic Byzantines from Fireforge, metal WW2 Poles from Crusader Miniatures, plasticRoman Auxiliary from Victrix...I'll just let you read through the newsletter to discover the rest.
|
  There's also a number of new games and books, of note is the first supplement for Studio Tomahawk's Congo game.
It is of note because the initial release comes with two free figures, both of which feature in the supplement.
|
Thank you for sticking with us, hope you find something here that'll feature on your Christmas list (it's close to that time of year!)

 Congo
Mungo Mah Lobeh
Congo Mary: The Throne of Thunder is a complete campaign for Congo, Adventures in the Heart of Africa. Congo Mary recounts one of the heroic journeys of British explorer Mary Kingsley. It culminates with her ascension of Mount Camaroon - also known as the Throne of Thunder.
The campaign is made up of a series of adventures, linked together by an ongoing story-line and by special rules that allow players to develop and hopefully flourish as the plot unfolds. This campaign will entertain and surprise you, offer many hours of wonder, some stimulating setbacks and considerable pleasure.
This campaign has been written specifically for two players, each one stepping into the shoes of one of the two protagonists of this perilous quest: British explorer Mary Kingsley and Uguwa a powerful sorcerer.
After facing up to the challenge of six new adventures (six new scenarios) you will face off in what we guarantee to be an epic and breathtaking finale.

- 6 new adventures
- 2 new Dangerous terrain tables

 THE ARMY OF
JAMES II
1685-1688.
THE BIRTH OF THE BRITISH ARMY
Between James’ accession in February 1685 and flight in December 1688 the British Armies increased four fold, in 1689 the new King, William III, kept James’ Army in being and within a few years it was to become the Army which led the victories at Blenheim and elsewhere of the Great Duke of Marlborough, who had himself been a General in James’ Army. It has been said that amongst William’s reasons for accepting the British Crowns was a fear that the British Army would serve in alliance with Louis XIV against him. Despite this, James’ part in the creation of the British Army is often deliberately overlooked or ignored. The political aspects of James’ reign, and thus of the Army, are well covered in numerous works but this book looks at the creation of the enlarged Armies of England, Scotland and Ireland - their uniforms and flags, organization and weapons, their drill and their strength, their pay and their Staff. Researched primarily from contemporary documents and manuscripts, including those in the rarely accessed Royal Library at Royal Archives at Windsor, it will go a long way to restoring these years, and the last Stuart King, to their true importance in the creation of the British Army. |
 Wargame the American Revolutionary War Paper Soldiers
In the 'Battle in America' series well-known historical illustrator Peter Dennis breathes life back into the 19th century paper soldier, supplying all the artwork needed to create the armies which struggled for Liberty across the states of the colonial new world. Here Washington's army can clash again with the redcoats of the King, using simple rules from veteran wargamer Andy Callan. Although the figures can be used with any of the commercial sets of wargame rules, an introduction to wargaming and a simple set of rules by veteran wargamer Andy Callan is included, along with buildings, trees and even artillery and brave Minute men and ruthless Hessian mercenaries. |
