Scenarios for all ages by CS Grant and SA Asquith

What a find...
Most of Saturday was spent clearing out the loft and various trips to the local charity shop and what should I find tucked away at the back of the bookshelf....

I forgot I even brought this.
What a hidden gem.

The book contains 52 scenarios. Each scenario includes a map and order of battle and can be played in almost any period with almost any set of rules.

One a week - Now that really would be a challenge.

Khurasan Rodent Wars

Now I have picked some strange projects over the years, I doubt if I can incorporate them into the RJW project but these look like a joy to paint.

Khurasan have today launched a new range 28mm Rodent Civil Wars. 

Their press release states as follows.

We have both the Bolshirats and the Menshimice for this tumultuous war, as well as the dreaded Adlerkorps mercenary stosstruppen. The models were sculpted by Bob Olley, and these were painted by Andrew Taylor.

The range is 28mm scale, but keep in mind that the Bolshirats and Menshimice are diminutive, so are about 20mm tall. The mighty Adlers are a full 28mm tall. For each rodent range, we have troopers armed with the Mousin-Nagant rifle, command, and a HMG team.

Here are the Bolshirats – Cheese! Land! Peace! All power to the Rodents!

 

 

And then there is....
The fearsome Adlerkorps now serve as mercenaries for any rodent officer lucky (and rich) enough to hire a few. Standing at a full 28mm height, and trained in ferocious stosstruppen tactics, fighting with grenades, submachineguns and even trench-shovels, even one of these grim veterans can turn the course of the battle. Gott strafe die Bulldoggen!

I doubt if they are every likely to grace my own painting table, but they do look rather good... :-) 

Redoubt Enterprises Japanese 75mm Infantry Gun. - Japanese Reinforcements.

It has to be a record, having purchased this 75mm Infantry gun at Derby a few weeks ago, it's painted based and on the table before the next Wargames show - Warfare in few weeks time.

Redoubt are one of those manufacturers that carry ranges off the beat track, perfect for many of my interests, they have some really useful fillers for my RJW Project. 

The gun mold is showing a little wear and tear and the gun carriage was a little difficult to pin together, hence the boulder under the gun barrel, but once complete, based and flocked it's hardly noticeable.

I painted the officer in the earlier blue uniform to give some variety to the Japanese forces...
It might even tempt me to put together a couple of early war sections.

Next up Cossacks for the Russians.
