As you can see, we've been concentrating on three ranges this month.
The Beja now have some mounted support (by the way, the recent advert in Wargames Illustrated has SA13/14 down as code A, they should be code B. Our mistake. Doh!).
The monks for the SAM range are not supposed to represent the massed warrior monk armies of the Gempei War (12th century), but are designed to be sprinkled in with the Ikko Ikki forces from this range. Saying that, if you ignore the later armour they could be used for the earlier wars, as their clothing didn't really change.
Next month we should have British in India service kit and a Gatling gun for the Sudan, Dutch 4th Light Dragoons and Dutch Volunteer Light Dragoons for the Dutch/Belgian 1815 range, as well as Pavesiers for the Agincourt to Orleans range.... we might squeeze something else in, too.
