begins his series on how to paint a 15mm DBA army well, in a reasonable time frame.
A Super Week for Wargaming.
Just arrived in the shoppe: a shipment of DBA 3.0 books (OMM no. 34560, $42.00 USD) from the U.K., and, re-orders of all four volumes of Wally Simon's Secrets of Wargame Design series ($19 USD each). Back orders are being shipped. New orders welcome.
U.K. publisher Trotman is considering a very limited reprint of the long-out-of-print Wargaming in History Volume 3: ACW Five Battles (Gettysburg, Brandy Station, Barlow's Knoll, Sickles' Folly, and Pickett's Charge) that uses the Regimental Fire & Fury rules to recreate and explain the battles. The greater the number of pre-orders, the greater the chance of a reprint, so if you are interested, pre-order volume 3. As usual, we don't charge your credit card until we actually ship the book.
Finally, here are the new rules, miniatures, Ospreys, books, and items coming into the shoppe in the next two weeks.
Rules…
- Light Bobs: Battalion Level Warfare during the American Revolution
- Light Bobs is meant to cover actions where hundreds, rather than thousands, of soldiers are deployed. Players command four or more units called Companies (4 to 12 figures each), or about a battalion. This scope of the game is larger than a man-to-man encounter, but below that of a brigade or multiple battalion engagement. $20.00 USD
- Charlie Wesencraft's Seven Steps to Freedom: Wargaming the French and Indian War and the American War of Independence
- Analyses both wars and describes them battle by battle. Each description is accompanied by a map and notes on how each encounter can be represented on the wargaming tabletop. The book also includes some of his previously unpublished wargaming rules, which are a development of his system from his earlier two wargaming books. This is his first new wargaming book in just under 40 years. The foreword is by Henry Hyde, editor of Miniature Wargames. $24.00 USD
