It was accompanied by a pop-quiz question about which city was connected with it - to which I replied Hull (the black-and-amber stripes being Hull City FC's home strip at the time) instead of Venice (the gold winged lion on the red flag).

Yeah, I have mentioned the Lardies Italian Wars rules briefly on my blog. I've been following every post on Twitter with a mix of intrigue and suspense!

If I tried to paint a 15 mil army to the standards I used to be able to manage I think I would end up chucking it in the bin. When I see Steve Dean's 15mm work, which to the untrained eye could be 28mm, I am just astonished at the level of detail he can input into those little fellows.

Pre 2016, I used to work pretty much exclusively in 15mm and 6mm, with ww2 stuff in 6mm and 20mm. Back in the UK, it's almost exclusively 28mm. Very different techniques required, so it's been a big learning curve for me with the paintbrushes. Looking closely at other people's work is a big help.
