Black Tree Design miniature 28mm Colonials miniatures

Today I'm profiling Black Trees miniatures.  Having bought their Boers for the Neulandia campaign, I found that they fit in very well with the Artizan miniatures that I have.    These figures can be bought here from Black Tree design USA or Black Tree design U.K.    Here is the link: Black Tree design miniatures.

Looking to find some VSF miniature post.   But now for the pictures Black Tree design miniatures.

Artizan Designs Colonial British miniatures

Today is Artizan Design's 28mm Colonial range of British and Punjabi troops.  I have to say I do like Artizan miniature.  They paint up well, plus some nice poses.   In the USA  Brigade Games cares the line.  Link: North West frontier figures

 So you can purchase from Artizan in the U.K. Link: Artizan Designs    In the past I have purchased figure from both companies.   They provide excellent service.

Hinterland Miniatures for the Victorian age and later.

  This is the company I purchased my excellent Pom-Pom gun.   The period is 1909 for the miniatures.   These are all fighting ladies.   If your army needs some kick butt women Hinterland fill it perfectly.   All I have to say these are some tough ladies...

Modern air combat rules

 Just read on Jim Wargames workbench about Jim using the rules set "Target Locked On".  Looks like the rules are easy to play for modern aircraft.  CY6 is nice air combat game but sometime a little complicated.  

Here is a Link to Jims blog:Jims Wargame work bench

Pictures of Stamsund today.

 I did a google search on Stamsund Norway.   What I found was very interesting. In the photo section I found a group of pictures showing the fortifications that still are left over from WW2.  A museum with equipment, uniforms and article from the German occupation.   Plus a great website just of the forts and gun emplacements.  The map provide for the Operation is pretty close to the landscape pictured below.
