Shiny!



This is just half of the consignment of figures that arrived today from the totally admirable Pendraken Miniatures. They are 10mm scale, chosen because you get large armies for a relatively small outlay and because the sculpts are so good. Pendraken's customer service is also second to none and their on line forum is conducted by witty and gentlemanly types, quite unlike the sometimes unpleasant atmosphere you find on others.

My main area of interest in wargaming is a very short 19th century, the years between 1815 and 1870, and my activities are confined to Europe (I began with Airfix American Civil War figures in 1964 but have lost interest in the period). This new project is the First Schleswig Holstein War 1848-50 and I hope that the reasons behind my choice will become clear as the project unfolds. Now to start!
