Well, I think the photos you've seen may have been a little misleading. The Perry Quatre Bras demo had about 20 tactical units per side (be they battalions,...
I can image that they do smaller games at the shows. Plenty of reasons are mentioned for doing so. Also smaller games using the same rules end quicker, so if...
Has anyone seen Fusilier ADC Peter lately. I was quite expecting him to post some time in the last few days about his experiences at Salute last weekend. But...
He's gone to Cornwall (far South-West of the UK) for a few days. He did tell me that there was going to be wi-fi at the hotel he's staying in. Suspect that...

Well I got my grubby hands on the WOTR rulebook today :-) I have to say this is a very pleasing book. Well laid out , easy to read and understand, with lots of...
Yes, I saw the book in Wargames Supply last week, and must say it is one of the nicest looking rules books I've seen. Loads of great scenery ideas in it....
Got to say the more I read rule books and supplements from TooFatLardies the more impressed I become. They have some very innovative aspects, some of which...
Yes, most impressive indeed! I hope when you say you saw it in WS last week that it was only a store copy and not for sale... I would hate to think I wasted a...
Got to say I agree, Murray (though I've only got 'Sharp Practice' to go with). I'm re-reading SP over and over again, and love it for its light-hearted tone as...
By the way, Murray, are you registered on the Sharp Practice Forum at: http://sharppractice.11.forumer.com/ Lots of cool discussion going on there. And your...
Hi Roly Yes, I'm a member. Good initiative on your part. However, my mind is occupied with WW2 at present, even though I'm currently painting 40mm Naps. By...

Talking of Maori Wars - what's peoples thoughts on 25mm/28mm Maori Wars Figures - there don't seem to be a lot around, especially Maoris? World Crossfire Day: ...
There are a few Maori Wars figures around: http://home.earthlink.net/~cyberkiwi/soldiers/maingal.html#Maori%20Wars Note how despite Kiwiss in a desperately PC...
John, Eureka have a range of NZ Wars figures for the 1860s. The Southern Strategists here in Christchurch painted up some units and have had a couple of games...
From memory they were a two page set of rules from one of the Wargames Mags that David had photocopied . All I remember was that the Maori could "teleport"...
Cheers Guys, Wayne/Roger - Rules aren't too much of a worry - I plan on using modified TSATF as that's what we are already using for Sudan/Zulus/Darkest Africa...
You are right about the Old Glory figures. The Brits need a small adjustment to the hats. Of more major note, all the Armed Constabulary and militia in...
Roly, How is 'Maori Wars' natural? The term Land Wars dates from the 1860s, and The New Zealand Wars was being used as far back as 1922 when Cowan published...
Quite right, Pete However in Roly's defence, when I went to uni in what seemed the height of PC during the 90s, there was an official line that they be called...

Talk to anyone overseas about the wars in colonial New Zealand, and they naturally call them 'Maori wars', same way as Zulu Wars. Naturally, as in a natural...
