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....

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!

Taking Stock Part II: The (As Yet) Unpainted but Planned OOB. . .

  Two companies of Reichsarmee grenadiers painted back in 2017 or 2018.  Minden Austrians of course. A lovely early autumn day here in the grand duchy.  Bright sunshine and a light breeze with cool temperatures will make for some very pleasant late afternoon lawn mowing in a little while.  But first a bit more discussion of painting plans for the future. Last time, I looked back at the various and sundry units, support troops, and civilians that I've managed to paint in the last 17 years as the Grand Duchy of Stollen project has developed.  So today, let's look into the seemingly bottomless Drawer 'o' Lead to my left for a clue to the new direction.  Be forewarned, it's not going to be a quick job getting everything painted and based, but there we are. The following plans are based on the pile of unpainted figures already here.  Any future purchases will be limited to small things that might be needed to fill out the envisioned units (the odd few officers mounted o

Having a "No Day". . .

  F or the almost 20 years that she lived in Mexico, one of my late mother's Irish friends frequently mentioned having a "No Day."  A day with no social obligations, chores, tasks, or other work that interfered with whatever personal interests took one's fancy on the day in question. Since today -- a gray and chilly Saturday -- is Mom's birthday, the Grand Duchess is out with friends, and the Young Master is ensconced on the sofa in the TV room with a cold, yours truly is taking his own such No Day.  I think Mom would approve of my decision to make the world go away, as the old Eddie Arnold song intoned, even if only for a little while. So, I will spend Saturday afternoon focused on that first squadron and small regimental staff of Eureka Saxon cuirassiers.  These have stood waiting  untouched over on the painting table for almost three weeks while we skied and otherwise gadded about with snowy, winter outdoor activities. I hope to share a painting update Sunday a
