Might any of you Stollen regulars have. . .

Issues #1, #2, #8, and #10 of Miniature Wargames from the early 80s gathering dust? Better yet, would you be willing to part with them for a REASONABLE price? I am trying to complete the first year of this magazine, which began life as the Battlegames of its time, and these are the issues I still need. Please let me know. Alternately, I might be persuaded to part with at least some of the old Wargames Illustrated issues in my pile, from the late 80s and/or sporadic issues from the 1990s, in exchange for those old issues of MW. We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

Haven't they started to do the early issues on CD, Stokes??? Would that meet the collecting requirement or must they be real paper copies??? :o))
That's right! Thanks, Steve. That might be just the ticket.

Best Regards,

Stokes

#10 has an article by Charles Grant titled "The Best of Enemies" about their family's 18th century wars.

Issue No 1 was like a eureka moment for me when I saw it in a newsagents in deepest Shropshire all those years ago. Peter Gilder's Napoleonic carabinier regiment in all its glory. Best of luck with the hunt. From memory though the photo was reversed as the swords were all in their left hands. I'll dig it out tonight.

As I recall, I had a personal interest in Number 2. Back in the mid 70s I developed a terrain system for use in a campaign in Liverpool. As a Regional Organiser to the Nations I used this as an alternative Ancients terrain in (I think) 1978. I basically then 'retired' from wargames until Liverpool held the Nationals jointly with Stockport - had to go there, of course, and it was my sons first convention. He was in a pram at the time, so didn't really take part. The surprise was that I hadn't noticed that they were using a development of my system until John Sharples wrote an article about it and it appeared in Number 2....

The Eventual Anhalt-Zerbst Regiment. . .

  The Anhalt-Zerbst regiment musters in the drill square to sort themselves into platoons and companies during the coming weeks  Fall maneuvers if you will. A large dose of real life the last few days with the start of classes next Monday, various preparatory meetings, and finishing up a few other things this week.  But, I managed to sort out 60 or so Minden Austrian infantry from the pile and get 'em stuck to temporary painting bases.  Must carefully drill out the hands of several NCOs for flagpoles and pole arms this weekend before the usual basecoat.   I'm thinking of mixing the usual white gesso with the usual light gray to kill two birds with one stone so to speak.  Applying both base- and undercoat in one fell swoop as my grandmother used to say. In the meantime, the recently finished squadron of Saxon cuirassiers has been placed carefully in one of the clear acrylic boxes on my shelves until I have the suitable flag to affix.   -- Sto...

Presenting the Anspach-Bayreuth Kuirassiere!!!

Here they are, with the rearmost nine figures still drying, three squadrons of the Anspach-Bayreuth Kuirassiere, now in the service of the Grand Duchy of Stollen. And now, it's onto that artillery!

Continued Regional Map Revisions. . .

F ooled around a bit more with the revised map just before and after dinner this evening, using the Fotor app to reinsert missing text .  I also removed a few other things using the 'Magic Eraser' function, which works surprisingly well.  Now, we're getting somewhere.  I just have to figure out how to ensure that the text is all a uniform font style and maybe figure out a way to add a few bunches of trees to suggest forested areas,  Ninja AI is not always entirely cooperative to the tune of "I'm sorry Dave.  I can't do that." -- Stokes
