A place in the sun
Specifically, the Peninsular although to be honest, these buildings could be used in many places around the Mediterranean. I intend to make several of these building bases as I have a sizeable collection of Portuguese figures and have also started some Spanish. The chap who I play with has plenty of French so the buildings should see plenty of action. I actually forgot to take a photo of all the separate parts but the links are below for the specific ranges and the actual lis

Secret signals
Here's another little tutorial using the new semaphore tower from the Peninsular catalogue, linked below. This is a very simple project as it only involves one building and some landscape work but should prove to be a useful addition to the battlefield as a major objective. No plan for this model was really needed as it's just the tower on a hill. The main shape was carved from expanded polystyrene and a 3mm mdf base was cut and chamfered. The rocks at the 'front' help to red

A bit more Sharp Practice
Well, with the disastrous events of the last game I felt it was appropriate to try and recapture Lady Fakham (who I think is probably quite happy where she is but it's the principle of the thing!).

Here's a small write up of a game we had yesterday (Friday 12th June) Didn't take many photos during as we were having far too much fun! The basic scenario was the Rescue of Lady Fakham. She was visiting a nearby church and forgot the time. Her escort

From the Peninsular to the jungle
Several years ago we had a brief sojourn to the jungle and the 80's films involving drug cartels in South America. Our take was definitely tongue in cheek as the actual subject matter can be delicate. It has been mentioned to potentially get this going again and I thought it would be a good idea to do a few new builds for it using products from the catalogue. The first one is of a small house which would be part of a hacienda and it will use the medium cottage from the Penins
