While my job and sudden interest in R/C naval combat has distracted me from wargaming, I still haven't completely given up on war-games. I have bought several lots of old Minifigs 15mm terrain, including stone walls, brick walls, hedgerows and 5 arched bridges. I was going to include photos of them, but seem to have misplaced my camera. Also after reading Bob Cordery's review of "One Hour Wargames", I ordered the book.
In a previous blog I brought up about buying books for my Kindle. One very good buy is a collection of Osprey guides. I bought 4 so far, The Franco-Prussian War 1870-1871, The Mexican War 1846-1848, The Ottoman Empire 1326-1699, and Byzantium at War AD 600-1453. At $1.49 each, it is a great buy. While they are not illustrated, they have maps and are listed as being around 90 pages. I am going to try to get the whole collection in time. I also downloaded "Sino-Japanese Naval War 1894-1895" by Piotr Olender. After reading this book, I plan to buy a paper copy of it as the illustrations of the warships makes it worth the extra money.
Interesting - I didn't think Minifigs ever made terrain, in any scale.
ReplyDeleteIt isn't actually the old Hincliffe System 12 terrain is it? (see link)

Only if so, that is a very rare beast indeed!
Ian, you could be right. I was using the sellers description of the pieces. I believe in an old magazine I have there is an ad for system 12 with photos of some of the terrain. I will have to try to find that magazine .In the meantime I'll try to find my camera to take pictures of the pieces.
ReplyDeleteI will have the original advert in an old MM, but in the meanwhile there is an extract of the catalogue in the link I added to the previous mail
