Well big news on the figures front is thelong overdue introduction of quality 'hard' plastic wargames figures. Like London buses we've waited for ages and now three companies come along at once.....

First the might Perry Twins are releaseing ACW Infantry, 36 figures for £12.00 a box. The figures look crisp and appealling and ripe for conversion. Due out soon are ACW cavalry, pictures of the mock-ups look like these will be excellent figures too, this time 12 figures per box, still at £12.00. Current P&P is 12%.

Next the have two companies releasing two very similar sets of figures, I hope that this doesn't cause early burn-out for one of them....

 Warlord Games are releaseing 28mm Roman Infatry, soon to be followed by 28mmCelts. THis ciompany is run by Paul Sawyer and John Stallard  from Games Workshop fame. Figures look great and can't wait to gethold of some.

Finally we have Wargames Factory, who are releasing 28mm Republican Romans and then soon Celts, this tea is tied into the new Ancient Wargames Rules being released by Osprey Publishing.

With the last to companies - good news for those wanting to raise a Celt Army, two sets of figures which will hopefully mix and match well. Hope it's not bad news for the companies themselves.

Well at last nights club meeting Alan brought along his Wings of War WW1 Dogfighting game and collection. What a great evening of fun, the mechanics of the game are so easy to pick-up and the large turnout of members were all playing in some pretty compliated dog-fights within minutes.

With 9 players all controlling planes in the sky, the action was thick and fast, best of all everyone culd play and there were no rules debates or questions.

10/10 for fun, 8/10 for realism and 9/10 for Alan's 1/144 models.
