Grunwald 1410

Just received another game from a publisher in Poland - Grunwald 1410.
This game is from their medieval series, and yet again the components are very nice. I would like to say I will get this on the table soon, but I doubt it, as I am planning to play the other game I bought from them - Borodino1812 - next, and then after that....well who knows, some Panzer Grenadier or some ACW (Across Five Aprils by VG)

Issus

This is the next battle I am playing using the LEGION wargame. This was and is going to be an epic battle

Dien Bien Phu from Legion Wargames

This beauty arrived on Monday.
I have only opened it, and the components are top class, even edging past GMT's quality.
Looking forward to getting this on the table sometime soon

Slingshot issue 295

The latest issue arrived today. Damn good magazine and looking forward to reading it.

World at War #38

This is the new edition to my growing collection of WaW magazines. A solitaire game where you take command of Rommels 7th Panzer Division during the drive across Belgium and France in 1940.

New games purchases

After a long search, I finally found a new copy of the expansion for Nemo's War at Leisure Games, which saved me from having to order it from VPG in America. What was even better it only cost me £2! They were also selling of some other VPG games at a reduced price, so I also picked up Jena 20 and Katzbach 20, for £8 & £10 respectively. Fun gaming times ahead!

Legion

I have been learning the rules to LEGION by the Society of Ancients. It is a forerunner to Lost Battles and certainly feels more detailed than it. The picture is from the quick play game it suggest you play first, which is the battle ZAMA. 

I have now started using the proper historical rules and I am playing the battle Marathon - but I have had to restart Marathon after making a few important mistakes!
