Evaluating SAGA
It is time again, to take a look at another open project. After evaluating Blood Bowl, and before that Dystopian Wars including the consequences of the decision (yes, I sold my prussians), the next system to be discussed is a larger "project" - SAGA.
Crusader Carts
Inspired by the SAGA Scenario "The Escort", i'm looking for something that would make a good baggage train for my spanish Crusaders. As I already used miniatures from the Perry Crusader range, I thought it made sense to look at their range again for the additional baggage train / wagons.
Unfortunately, they don't have specific ones for the crusades, but others from the War of the Roses range. I'm not a specialist on these, so which would fit an early middle ages, around 1.000 - 1.200 A.D.? They have a few, between 11 and 21 pound to offer.
MUPAC – Museum of Prehistory and Archaeology of Cantabria
The MUPAC, the Museo de Prehistoria y Arqueología de Cantabria (Museum of Prehistory and Archaeology of Cantabria) was a must-visit for my while in Santander.
Inspiration from northern Spain
I'm just back from my vacation in northern Spain. I visited Cantabria, Asturias and the Basque Country. Usually the trips to Spain are family related and for recovery, but this time I added a bit of cultural sight seeing.
Spectre Miniatures
Spectre Miniatures is a british manufacturer, that covers modern combat miniatures in 28mm scale. Had them on my radar for quite some time and used the chance at Salute 2016 to get myself the Tier 1 set along with some show offers.
Rubicon Models M8 / M20 Scout Car
After the recent review of Warlord's M8 / M20, let us take a look on Rubicon Models take on the scout car.
Rubicon put both variants in a single kit as well, but that is nothing new from them, as most of their kits offer several variants and options to begin with.
Stahl auf der Heide 2016 – Part 2
After the first presentation, the armoured vehicles were lined up back in starting position.
Being so close to a tank, able to take a look or to touch them, appealed to a lot of people. So the big cats were crowded.
Stahl auf der Heide 2016 – Part 1
On September 4th it was time for "Stahl auf der Heide" (Steel on the heath) in Munster, Lower Saxony at the German Tank Museum.
On this Open Day the museum raises the interaction with the exhibits. A selection of roadworthy vehicles is presented during a one hour show, and a lot of the shown tanks are available for climbing and getting yourself into the driver's seat.
Bonn – Haus der Geschichte
On the same day as the FeenCon, i visited the Haus der Geschichte (House of History) in Bonn.
It has a main exhibition, covering the german history since the mid / end of World War Two and two smaller guest exhibitions, of which the first was "Inszeniert - Deutsche Geschichte im Spielfilm" (Staged - German History in the movies), covering the coping with german history in moving pictures.
Victrix – Armoured Iberian Warriors
Victrix Ltd started with a huge range of napoleonic sets, and recently entered the ancient armies. A bit of a niché range among those are the Iberians, the ancient spanish tribes, of which today the armoured warriors will be reviewed.
