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.

#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....

And It's the End of September!!!

  Saxony's Ploetz Cuirassiers, an illustration lifted from the Kronoskaf website, which has thus far guided my spectacularly glacial painting of 30 28mm Eureka Saxon cuirassiers purchased all the way back in October 2016. A gray, cool Saturday here in Mid-Michigan with rain in the forecast. The Grand Duchess is away at a conference, so it's just "The Boys" here at home. The Young Master (almost 15) has retreated to his room for something or other following breakfast while I have stolen back down here to Zum Stollenkeller (masquerading as my office) with a second mug of coffee and both cats comfortably ensconced nearby. Enjoying the late morning and still in my pajamas! Not much planned for today beyond designing a couple of promotional flyers for workshops my department is presenting (small parties we will throw?) in October and November.  With maybe a bit of on the next podcast script. More important,  I am toying with the idea of returning for an hour or...

Happy September 2nd!!!

    T his weekend, the question of what, precisely, constitutes an "imagination" came up in an online forum of which I am a part.  To be fair, the issue originates from further afield in a Facebook group that I am not a member of, but I weighed in with my own view.  The following was in response to the question posed yesterday (Sunday) morning by an exasperated member of my own rather more gentlemanly town square, who had been met with a strident response to information he shared about his (admirable) hobby activities on said FB group.  Here is, more or less, what I wrote: To my mind, the concept of imagi-nation(s) is a broad one.  It can range from historical refights or what-if scenarios/battles/campaigns between armies of a particular era, to completely made up combatants operating in a quasi-historical setting, to the rather generic red and blue forces of the Prussian Kriegspiel that examine a particular tactical problem, task, or exercise.   ...
