Return to 'Old School Madness' *


Just started painting up my next 40mm  SYW-ish  regiment using Prince August moulds , here we see the first two members of what will be the Brunswick Regt. Von Zastrow with a suitable seasonal backdrop .


I came across my collection of Phil Olley's ' The Classic Wages Journal' whilst looking for something else , it's a shame this fine magazine had a short life and I looked through them and came across a article on the 'Battle of Spurlash Down' - a sequel to the classic 'Blasthoff Bridge' .


The set up for the battle in the magazine .


My own attempt at the terrain for the battlefield - Hodge is pointing out I haven't got the curve of the River Blast just right ! . So my plan is to re fight this battle using the 'Charge' rules and a report of it will appear in my next posting .

  2. Better watch out . . . I have heard that Hodge is a very tough opponent.
