You can buy English Tudor miniatures from The Assault Group. The English, Tudor figures are suitable for Henry VIII’s battles (1509-1547), and the later English, Stuart figures are suited for Elizabeth’s reign (1558-1603) with some crossover, of course). Mary’s reign could be represented by mixing the two ranges.

I assume that you are aware that…[Read more]

The morion helmet was typical all over Western Europe, from Malta to Scotland. And the pants had been international fashion too. Like later French styles the Spanish one was “de rigeur”.

Regular troops needed a sash or similar field sign to distinguish them.

The modern arms and armor in the English and Spanish stores looked the same. Only…[Read more]

WAKEFIELD…

Moving from York to Wakefield in the spring… any active players in and around Wakey?

Scott.

Hi all, I’m Andy from Manchester. I’ve just got interested in the rules of bolt action, k47 and bolt action Korea. I’ve never played any (nor have any units – yet) but I’m really keen to see it in action at a local group (post Covid).

please get in touch if you can help

Does this still happen? I’m really new to Bolt Action and would like to see it played but when I asked element games they said they don’t demo it!

Yeah, the text description for the box does say that.

But those soldiers look more Spanish  to me, essentially the helmets and pants.

I’m missing the Tudor hats and coats, as shown on the minis in the P&S book

I’m pretty sure 1/48 is a lot closer to Bolt Actions infantry models scale than 1/56 is.  Tank crews always seem much smaller than the standard infantry but the pilot for the mustang was just a tiny bit larger than an infantry model.  It’s close enough that it doesn’t bother me as much as the tank scale.

The model was a Airfix P51-D, I’ve al…[Read more]

The pictures I’ve saved show both flat and grouser track in the BEF and N. Africa  ( IRC the “lowered” running gear was only used by one unit in the BEF ? ) . My main Matila interest is East , and my Russian pictures show a both flat and grouser ( maybe different factory shipments ? ) I’ve only found one picture in the 150 odd I’ve got that show…[Read more]

yeah forgot about that (V2 rulebook pg 68 for the -1 to hit, and pg 70 for the support for others wondering)

Its a defensive unit…most missions have a 12″ deployment zone, so I’d read that as must be within the deployment zone

I think it might be a 1/48 scaled model. Perry mjniatures website lists a 1/56 BM 58 Junkers Ju 87 B2 ‘Stuka’ resin kit that comes complete with decals and a transparent canopy.

Who makes a 1:56 scale P-51 Mustang? Are there any other planes in 1:56 scale like maybe a Spit or 109?
