What's New -
April 2013
Rome's
Dacian Wars. Warlord Games new supplement
for Hail Caesar rules came out just in time for these new armies in the
Armies of the Balkans section. Their range of plastic figures for this
conflict are pretty cost effective as well.
We have
highlighted the excellent Peterwardein Fortress in the
travel section and the
battle there in August 1716.
Glasgow & District Wargaming Society did a
display game of
the battle in 2006. The local Novi Sad radio station O21 has just run a
feature on our involvement. Hat tip to Nenad Šeguljev.
