Ah yes, now my febble mind remembers. (I used to work in Danville 20 years ago.) Thanks for the info and web site. I hope to make it up there. Jon Christenson ...
A.A.R. I had a great time. It kind of reminded me of the conventions of old (20+ ago), small, kind of quiet, and no SF or Fantasy. "Not that there is anything...
Due to the lack of posts on this Group, I am inclined to either delete it entirely or change its purpose to suit our local Wargaming club. As Moderator I am...
Here is the site for a review of John Company Rules if anyone is interested: http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=30587 Mitch Berdinka 2301 Steamboat...
Mitch, Your right we have been ragingly inactive. That is an interesting review of John Company by Chick Lewis. His discription seems to indicate the rules...

Has anyone seen the Chiltern Miniatures of Lieutenant Sharpe and Sergeant Harper? They are listed under their Character Figures (NA 2501) for 3.95 pounds. I...
Photo is here http://www.chilternminiatures.co.uk/html/character_figures.html but resolution is so low, you can't really get a good view of them. Anyone in US...
I suppose a good group of Napoleonics skirmishers would have a good way to 'balance out' the points of an odd game or two? I mean I like a bring all you can...
Sergeant-Major Stevens was saying the other evening how he'd seen some sort of magnificent figs under the Calpe name. Said they were bang on and I ought to...
I hear the Front Rank figs are fairly well animated in other lines. Haven't seen them painted up though. The pewter jobs in the catalogs look nice but what's a...

Hello all, I have been getting into the whole age of muskets setting lately. I have always had an interest but it never really went into minis gaming as I am...
Hello all, I have a previous question in the cooker waiting for approval. Yet another question came to my mind. I'd suppose a rakish group of rascal skirmish...
There is a points system in TSATF, bit its geared to colonial era. It could be tweaked for Napoleonics, but we haven't found the need to. Our group's games are...
I have some Front Rank & Foundry figures painted up by Fernando Enterprises, but unfortunately I don't have any posted in the photo section of our mailing...
Again we usually develop the scenario around what terrain pieces we have available and go from there. The scenario developer has the most say in what is used,...
I think the only way to make a mistake in Skirmish Wargaming is to not have fun doing it. Let that be your guide. You say you are predominantly a skirmsh gamer...
