The Books | Little Men at War

http://littlemenatwar.com/the-rules-2/books

Little Men at War. The Rest of It. Toy Soldiers on Parade. The grand daddy of wargame books is undoubtedly Little Wars by H.G. Wells with its marvelous photos of grown men and famous authors sprawled out on the floor guiding their small armies. The illustrations look like something out of Winnie the Pooh. Wells obviously put a lot of thought into the game but his zeal for Britains working field artillery is a thing of the past. Here is a link to the public domain editions at the Gutenberg site:. There ar...

A Lead Odyssey: 6mm English Civil War (ECW)

http://aleadodyssey.blogspot.com/p/6mm-english-civil-war-ecw.html

Why is this here. Lead Odyssey is about my hobby, collecting, painting and playing with toy soldiers. It will cover the various rulesets I use, the figures I am painting (very slowly), and some games. Thanks to Harry Pearson for the Achtung Schweinehund. Reference. The uniform jacket in the picture was adapted from a safari suit, the weapon is a wooden sub-machine gun made by me and my dad. Cool eh? 6mm English Civil War (ECW). Well, I used to have these guys in 15mm for DBR. See the pattern here? DBMM 1...

Armageddon Tourist Board: September 2010

http://armageddontouristboard.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html

Take one of our leaflets on the Flesh-Eater Virus! Wednesday, 22 September 2010. Hordes of the Things, Invincible Pole fighters, and time. It's been a busy week for me here in media-land. Haven't had much time for Toy soldiers, if I'm honest. With no new updates on the army, I am starting to worry I might not get it done - as I now have seven weeks to get it all done! In the mean time, I'd just like to share a couple of things with you:. 1st: - Invincible Pole Fighters. Well, have a look:. It's one of th...

Other Stuff | Little Men at War

http://littlemenatwar.com/the-rest-of-it/other-stuff

Little Men at War. The Rest of It. Toy Soldiers on Parade. One feature of many wargames is chance. Outcomes are not known and predictions can only be made as probabilities. How likely is it that the charge of tiny soldiers will overwhelm the gates of the fortress? How likely is it that Professor Dunbar will go insane as a result of his encounter with the creeping mists of death? Will the cavalry arrive on time? A plastic ruler, an inexpensive tape measure, and several Games Workshop templates. Required f...

15mm | Little Men at War

http://littlemenatwar.com/the-little-men/15mm

Little Men at War. The Rest of It. Toy Soldiers on Parade. Likely the most popular scale for wargaming, I first bumped into figures this size in the 70s. Shifting to this scale was a big jump at the time resulting from the discovery of half price stock of 15mm Napoleonic figures at a local hobby shop. Escalating costs for larger figures made the transition easier. All figures are mounted for Empire which seems to use a narrow depth for its base. Likely these will all be rebased at some point for DBM.

Dale's DBA: April 2011

http://dales-dba.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html

My blog on my De Bellis Antiquitatis (DBA) gaming, both face-to-face and solo (the latter using the rules De Beliis Antiquitatis Solus or DBAS). I will post battle reports, pictures, and ideas on solo gaming with DBA. Saturday, April 2, 2011. New DBA 3.0 (Draft) Army List for Armenia. I was just looking at the WRG website. And reading the draft army lists for Section II of the upcoming DBA 3.0 rules and noticed that the Armenian list I am building has had a change! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

25mm/28mm | Little Men at War

http://littlemenatwar.com/the-little-men/25mm28mm

Little Men at War. The Rest of It. Toy Soldiers on Parade. The slightly shorter 25mm figures are still produced but when combined with 28mm, tend to look rather slight and unassuming, hardly what one would want in a miniature army. Some of the difference appears to be due to the bulkier size of the figure’s body. The larger 28mm figures tend to have larger limbs and torso. Like the Renaissance knights below, they look like tanks. One helpful thing to keep in mind is that horse armor in the period was cra...

Figures | Little Men at War

http://littlemenatwar.com/the-little-men

Little Men at War. The Rest of It. Toy Soldiers on Parade. But look at the package below. At one point, SPI, one of the most enterprising proponents of games with cardboard counters sold boxes of Napoleonic miniatures to mount on the cardboard counters in two of their games. Miniatures may not be necessary but they are often welcome. From left to right, Foundry 28mm, Ral Partha 25mm, Essex 15mm, and Irregular Miniatures 6mm Renaissance figures. Why so many scales?
