Above is the advert that should have appeared in the Colours show guide and issue 365 (September 2013) of Miniature Wargames. Unfortunately, because of an error in Miniature Wargames' ad production, the wrong advert will appear.
The above advert was to be used to key in to a new display of Eureka's 18mm Seven Years War figures at the show, on which I have been working all summer. I am keen to promote this range now that it is being cast in the U.K. under license, allowing me to reduce the prices, and advertising in the Colours issue of Miniature Wargames was a vital part of drawing wargamers' attention to the range.
Over the past 24 hours, there has been a moment of, shall I say, uncharacteristic fiery incandescence on my part directed at Miniature Wargames' outsourced ad-sales team at Media Shed. Editor Henry Hyde, however, rang me this morning, having talked to the publisher, and has settled the matter to my satisfaction.
So, I will be at Colours on 14 and 15 September, as usual, with Black Hat Miniatures up on the first floor. I will have painted examples of Eureka's lovely 18mm SYW figures on display in the cabinets. I will even have stock of the range at the show, but as usual, the advice is 'order in advance' to guarantee that I have what you want at the show.
