I have expanded my horizons! Last week I won a competition and received a copy of "Grand Battery" a Napoleonic historical wargame. I absolutely love this period of military history and am astonished i've never pursued historical wargaming before. So inspired by the book was I that I rushed out and spent 36 of my gaming tokens (pounds sterling) on 3 regiments of 28mm British Redcoats, this equated to 92 minis - 92!! compare that to GW where you'd get between 30 and 40 minis. The Redcoats were sculpted by the Perry brothers who also sculpt for GW so the quality is great and the detail admirable. So why the price difference? Anyway it means I can afford a decent size batallion and dive into the history of the Pennisular War. Not sure whether I'll stick with the rule system in GB; i'll give it a go but there are tons of other publications out there so no problem there.
I'm so looking forward to this. For the glory of King George!!
