RAF Museum Hendon
Just found some pics from the RAF Museum in Hendon, so I've added them to the directory. It's a great museum, these photos are only a fraction of what's there - and it's free too.

28mm Plastic Frenzy !!
Doh! I've finally succumbed and bought some 28mm Plastics. I've been fighting the urge for a while, but they are now so cheap (30p a figure??) and there are enough ranges to allow you to morph them into different armies (Auxilia + Vikings = Sub Roman Brits anyone?). Have a look here at what's for sale on eBay UK or look here for US listings. The Warlord Games ECW stuff is available to see here

Free delivery on everything sold by Amazon UK!
Amazon UK have announced that they now offer free shipping on all orders, no matter what price! Bad news if you run a real-world bookshop, but good news if you want to buy an Osprey or something from the FoG-armies Amazon shop on this site (I'll update the text on that page later..)!

Campiones!
In a turn-up for the books I return from Italy as the newly crowned Campione della Tuttti Europa di FoG !! Taking the huge, embarassing trophy back on the plane - and meeting some I know through work in the departure lounge - was not something I wish to repeat though... Battle report to follow in a couple of weeks.....

WRG Armies & Enemies books available online
The WRG Armies & Enemies series should be part of every ancient and medieval gamers library. But they are sadly out of print. So I've set up a page that drawn in current eBay and Amazon 2nd Hand listings for all the books and pulls them together in one place. So if you want that missing copy, here's where to look!
