I think I remember that game, I've been intrigued by the VBCW concept, even though i was quite scepitcal when Solway brought it on to the market it has grown on me and as you say has also got me interested in the interwar period too. I think the JJD vehicles are excellent! Especially the...

Yep, got them and really like them, although haven't played out a full game with them. In fact, it was Paul's embryonic set (the version on the Empress site) that got my interest going again on the struggle after a thirty year gap! Although, I really like John's SCW pieces, I admired them from...

Hi grey cap, thanks for the heads-up, I heard about the BT 7 but the International Brigades is news and good news....... hopefully John will come up trumps! I love the Empress range, I've converted some Falagestas to BUF but have stopped short of raising an SCW army, nevertheless you've got me...

I've spent the last few weeks reading about this fascinating albeit tragic conflict in some detail. My appetite is well truly stimulated to invest in John's excellent range. Does anyone know if the range is to be expanded? I am particularly interested to know whether infantry are on the...

Personally I think that as most of the popular manufacturers have an ACW range in their current catalogues do we need another one - albeit John's unique style and skill is an exciting prospect, like his entry in to the Peninsula War. ACW like Zulus, Napoleonics and WW2 wil always sell well and...

Excellent addition, this piece will be part of my Guns of August collection! Keep the Great War in sight please John......don't be shy to add infantry, cavalry, artillery, General Staff etc etc .......!

I was really looking forward to Salute, but I won't be there as its my wedding anniversary on the Saturday........ Bad planning from me and the organisers! I have one of David's boards which I picked up at one of the London shows a while ago; a snow covered landscape ideal for my Snowshoes...

In the UK, Northstar have just announced they are taking shipping orders for Muskets and Tomahawks from next Monday (23/4). I think they will be availableto buy in at Salute on Saturday (?). http://www.northstarfigures.com/prod.php?prod=4309

I've been using TVG for some time but I'm quite excited about a new rule set for skirmishing FIW due to be released any time soon. A review of the rules from Mike Hobbs is here on his blog..... mikehobbs.co.uk/?p=2386 Acoording to Mike they are a skirmish set of rules set in North America...

Point taken, but I was attempting to make a correlation about how motivational type speeches inspire people and how they stick in the memory- perhaps too crudely. Either way, I'd be happy to share a trench with the fella, regardless of the inaccuracies or how others blatantly used his words for...

Best of luck, your good lady and yourself ill have a story to tell the little fella one day.

Mine is probably on an aeroplane or sitting in a container somewhere on the otherside of the world. Sometimes living on an Island has its disadvantages!

UPDATED 1515 20.04.10: Based on the latest Met Office information, part of Scottish and Northern Irish airspace including Aberdeen, Inverness and Edinburgh airports will continue to be available from 1900 today to 0100 tomorrow, Wednesday 21 April, and also south to Newcastle Airport. Glasgow...

Well certainly not in Europe. Out in the Far East and SE Asia perhaps, but aircraft there fly around the problem. Dense airspace in Northern Europe doesn't allow that option.

I'm afraid so Raymond. As soon as I get an update I'll post, but for now the restriction applies to all London Airports.

For people travelling...or not, here is the latest for the UK based on the latest Met Office information: Part of Scottish airspace including Aberdeen, Inverness and Edinburgh airports will continue to be available from 1300-1900 today, and also south to Newcastle Airport. Restrictions will...

On the subject of motivational speech, I reckon the following from is probably the best in modern times............ We go to liberate, not to conquer. We will not fly our flags in their country We are entering Iraq to free a people and the only flag which will be flown in that ancient...

Of the two film versions that made the big screen what preference have fellow Treefroggers got - your call Olivier or Brannagh?

Yep, awaiting some figures from the U.S., expected them last week but no show yet. British Airways flew a pathfinder Boeing 747 late last night (no passengers hasten to add) near the ash cloud above 35,000 feet. The aeroplane went through an extensive post-flight engine and airframe check...
