SYW Prussians on the march. . . Just a few of the new "old school" figures being offered by Huzzah Miniatures in Great Britain.Well, it’s yet another blustery, grey, and wet day here in Central Illinois . Perfect for biding one's time down here in Zum Stollenkeller with the soldiers, paints, and shortwave radios. Seems that the lawn mower will have to wait until another day. ;-)
On that note – are you sitting down? – Allan, the man behind The Kingdom of Wittenberg blog, sent me a link this morning to a new venture inGreat Britain
Best of all, the figures are priced very reasonably even for those of us outside theUnited Kingdom
But enough of my nattering on and on about this. Read the interesting thoughts behind this new Huzzah! Miniatures line yourself and take a look at some additional photos of them like the one I’ve included above at the blog set up to document the creation of this lovely new line of figures. Click on the following link to get there and be prepared to drool over the current offerings:

Fainlly, the latest issue of Battlegames, issue #12, just arrived with the mail a little while ago. If such a thing were possible, this looks to be the best issue yet. Every single article looks worthy of reading and rereading several times. It's as good if not better than those first issues of Miniature Wargames that captured my attention as a callow youth in the far off days of the early 1980s!
Jeeze Louise! All of this is almost too much excitement for one weekend. I think a couple of aspirin and return to bed for a spell are in order until my beleaguered imagination calms down a bit.

Super figures - many thanks for drwing them to our attention!

What is this nonsense about "going back to bed"?
Why there are figures to paint . . . and plans to make.
Very nice-looking figures by the way . . . perhaps just one pre-order?

It's just so hard to face the day after looking at all those wonderfully painted figures and reading all those well-written and interesting articles. ;-)

They look pretty smart.
When will we see some more of your own handiwork?
Back to the Stollenkeller with you…
