Its a bit complicated for some - too much painting. Yet I do sell a fair amount of them over a year - perhaps not as many as I used to though.<br /> Part of my argument is about the current narrowing of periods within tyhe current crop of glossiesBig Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17235478427317774609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780195401099519720.post-1186368605427689072014-02-10T04:56:32.281-08:002014-02-10T04:56:32.281-08:00There was a big campaign series on Napoleon in Egy...There was a big campaign series on Napoleon in Egypt in (I think) Practical Wargaming so yes Stuart would have been involved - it was momentous enough that I have wanted to do the period ever since.. some exquisite plates by Bob Marrion I think (though I may be getting mixed up with the Charles Grant book)... there was a Napoleon in Egypt game of good quality at Warfare last November... re. Stirling Bridge - that would have been PW as well I think featuring the Charlie Wessencraft diorama (which is now at the Bannockburn visitors centre).... here's a contentious view - maybe most of your battles didn't feature because mediaevals as a period are not as popular as others???Steve-the-Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077311120172727690noreply@blogger.com
