The Military History Weekend is shaping up to be quite an event! While it is certainly quite different to be planning an event rather than "just" attending (not to suggest that attending or vending is ever as simple as that), it has been a lot of fun so far...

My good friend, Richard Walker, the general manager for W Britain, asked me to notify our blog readers of the upcoming Old Toy Soldier and Figure Show on September 12, 2009 in London.

Joe came into the office today with a little surprise for me – some adobe buildings in 15mm scale, made out of balsa wood and intended for some wargaming further down the line. Now, Joe is a bit of a legend when it comes to making terrain – I've got some cool hillbilly shacks (now with added outhouse) that he put together for one of our projects that only partially got off the ground before we (I) were (was) sidetracked by other shiny things, and a load of English Civil War-y barns and farm buildings in various stages of ruin. Recently, he's taken to moulding and casting his own flagstones, walls and the like in plaster, resulting in some exceptionally chunky Medieval structures.

Today I wanted to announce a new program just launched by Osprey & Slitherine -- and a call to arms -- become a Dog of War! We are looking for avid Field of Glory enthusiasts in the YS who would be willing to go into various stores around the country to run FoG demos and tournaments - all in exchange for Osprey credit for books of your choice.

Last weekend, I had the honor of representing Osprey at my first ever wargaming convention - Cold Wars in Lancaster, PA. After a bit of a mishap finding the Lancaster Host Resort (which should have been quite easy, as it is enormous!), I stumbled into what I believe must have been a miniature army paradise... and an Osprey employee/history enthusiast's heaven.

These days, wargaming is dominated by points-based systems where two equally matched sides slug it out. It is a style of play encouraged by most of the industry’s big names including Warhammer, Flames of War, and Field of Glory. However, in my humble opinion, these games often lack the flavour and the tactical challenge that makes wargaming so appealing.
