League Of Augsburg - Fighting Talk

Just received my copy of issue308. Apart from a 10 page article on our game set in 1690 from last October in Derby, the mag has used some of my library pictures from Napoleonics with the work of Dave O'Brien, Bryce Allen and David Imrie feature alongside my own stuff. Ade's Prussian artillery also feature prominently. Worryingly there are pictures of you lot in the flesh so to speak... ooh er!

Pictures of wargames figures is fine & some times quite beautiful, clarence are you listening, but the less depicted about the ageing hooligans who paint them the better. I shall have to sell that issue in a black over cover as it won't be suitable for those of delicate sensibilities.

"Let me have men about me that are fat, with bald hads who are sleeping well"

& trust me you never want to either, Derby is quite the most drear palace in the known universe outside of Peterborough, which may actually be in hell sitting in the middle of the slough of despond.

Sorry about any confusion Clarence it was just your was the name which came to mind as I was thinking about quite beautiful miniatures

Hey Gunter.. that is not so! You are mentioned as the nice Austrian (or should I say Saxon ) in the village game. I did not want to want to reveal your true identity in case you were stalked by adoring legions of women!!!!

Well, I have just ordered a copy because I must see these table setups not to mention all these dicey blokes I have hanging around, virtually anyway, these last few years.

My good lady might ask to see as well, do I take it I should keep her from seeing it?

Cheers,

I have not seen it yet its not out till the very end of the month & I dont get it till the day of publication but I would be careful who you show it to just in case.

All the ladies of my acquaintance are gamers so at the very least not a good guide to these things.

I am positive those sentences have never been used in either military history or wargaming... The man is a poet.

Yes, I just got a copy... I think they still come by sailing ship!

My copy just arrived here on the left coast yesterday. Will be interesting so see what some of these fellows here look like...

A bit like a Sontaran invasion...
