From the Kickstarter earlier in the year Footsore have now delivered the Baron’s War ruleset to my in-box and I may be unavailable for the rest of the day.

Also.. I need to check out some leader figures for my Early Saxons. Footsore look great, but then they will look exactly like everyone else's Early Saxons.

As they said about the Pirhana Brothers.....cruel, but fair.

Well you can get Noggin the Nog figures and they were based on the Lewis Chessmen by Oliver Postgate.

A 38(t) zug from Warlord - but not the "three in a box" set for £50, the "buy 2 get 1 free" version (which, bizarrely, was part of the same 3-for-2 deal). Annoying that there was, once again, absolutely nothing else in the deal that I wanted.....

I saw that. I do fancy a Marder and a Carro Armato but couldn't find a third. They never seem to have the plastic Matilda on sale.

I did buy three German infantry squads, the veteran grenadiers, winter grenadiers and waffen ss winter squad. That should give me a full Volksgrenadier Sturm Platoon, equipped with Stg 44.

They did have a "troop box" of Matilda IIs - the box art had the early war white/red/white stripes on, so I assume good for France '40 and early Western Desert.
