The game was played in a garden at the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst – so the 'neighbours' were doing it for real! The rules were an adaptation of Funny Little Wars by Paul Wright who also hosted the game. FLW is available from TVAG: link |

Absolutely Imperial, Sir! Outstanding photography, brilliant reportage, and--a personal highlight--the spectacular demise of the Forbodian "War Correspondent" (a favorite cover for their insatiable taste for espionage). Please, and by all means, run your own Show ASAP, and definitely consider a Tannenberg event. Gratefully, TVAG |

Great stuff! Good to see toy soldiers on their natural environment! I am a figure collector as well as a gamer so it was fun trying to identify all the different manufacturers. |

The toys were mostly plastics (though a few were their weightier metal brethren). Manufacturers included Armies in Plastic, A Call to Arms, Conte, Timpo, Britains, Replicants, CTS, Tradition etc etc
