Wargaming Miscellany : Colonial inspiration!

Colonial inspiration!
I have been fumbling about for some inspiration for my first tabletop battle in some time ... and then I came across some pictures that I had used in a blog entry that I wrote quite some time ago.
 
As I said to Bob, I think I checked the copy my school library had in the early 70s
more times than I can remember!

Morval Earth : The Inch High Club



On these  pages you will find information and pictures about those tiny warriors who fight the battles of history, the present day and the future.  They do so in a myriad of homes and clubs throughout the world.  Their owners and commanders derive a great deal of pleasure from them.  Ours is a hobby of research, modelling, painting, collecting, organising and playing.  We regard it as a fun social event to be shared though sometimes it is, like many pleasures, enjoyed alone.  Our miniature soldiers and armies fight their way through jungles, over mountains and in deserts.  They face foes from all over the world, throughout time and from Hollywood! 

These pages are dedicated to those who play with little soldiers and all their equipment, their vehicles, their weapons, their aircraft and ships. 

The pages reflect the interests of our little group of friends.

Tanker's Tuesday: Retro-Steampowered



Breakthroughs in power technology in the late 19th Century made possible large steam-powered fighting vehicles as early as 1880. Upon hearing of German experimental models, the British established the RNLS (Royal Naval Land Service) in 1882, and the French and Americans soon followed suit. The German landship sent to Ouargistan for testing so awed the native chiefs that the other powers had to bring in landships of their own to save face, launching an absurd arms race in the primitive subcontinent. This is the fictional universe for the Landships of Ouargistan games.
