More Central London news

The Club has now consolidated on one new venue, and so now meets on each and every Monday at "Escape" which is just by Mornington Crescent Tube. The new venue and night starts from 8/11/2010 as after The Perseverance turned into a trendy wine bar the Cock also became a bit too untenable for all sorts of reasons. 


We have been at the Escape before, when it was known as the JD Sports Bar, and we had almost 8 successful years there so fingers crossed for the next 8 !


We still have no fees, no membership processes or committee, so the only rules are essentially to be polite to the bar owner and make sure you buy a few drinks each visit.

Central London News

It sounds very much as if the Perseverance pub has closed for refurbishment, and that the refurbed property will no longer accommodate wargamers. This means we are now officially back to only one night a week, which is Tuesday in The Cock.

More Rabbit related Wargaming News!

You may remember the rather disturbing Amazon thinks people who buy Richard Bodley Scott's books  also keep pet Rabbits posting on this site from a year or so ago? Well, in another bit of strange synchronicity, it turns out the the Rivermead Leisure Center in Reading, home to the annual Warfare show and competition is also hosting The London Championship Show - one of the key Rabbit-based event in the UK Rabbiting calendar.

Go Figure!

Two bits of good news for fans of Italian made Ghulam figures. First Legio Heroica are having a 20% off sale until July 20th on all orders above 40 Euros. Secondly, Mirliton (or Vexillia in the UK) have released some new Crusades Era Arabs.

Exciting times huh?

New Xyston Carthaginians

    
I've just been sent some Xyston Carthaginians to review and post here. And - as usual - very nice they are too. The one's I have been sent include a pack of officers, a pack of musicians and standard bearers, some Numidian skirmishers and an Elephant (click links for pictures).

They come with separate shields, but with backs that look like they will stick onto the figures arms well enough. The officers have short stubby swords, which look a bit ineffectual, but an imposing array of headgear should compensate and frighten the Romans!

The "musicians" are actually both trumpeters, with 4 further standard bearers in various poses - they will need wire spears and the standards come as head pieces only with a hand, a horses head and some symbols making up the set of four.

The Elephant looks to be a proper "African-sized" beast, slightly smaller than many out there from other manufacturers, and comes with 1 mahout only. It will need a little filler as the two halves have gaps when glued together.

Finally the Numidian skirmishers again will need their hands drilling to take a wire javelin and would be suitable as any generic Classical-era javelin man if painted with a non-Numidian skin tone.

Here's another FoG Rule idea

This idea came up in conversation this weekend. When testing for losing a melee you have the option to take a +1 on the Cohesion test ... but if you do, you also take a -1 on the corresponding death roll. Neat huh? (Elephants & some others excepted..)
