The Black Ships: Next Month Next month expect to see Lynne’s Black Ships or how to build your own Black Ships inexpensively and expertly. They might even really float if done right.
Out of Petal MS. comes news that Sharron and Vince carry a very exquisite War Cart (Newline Design #5) for use with Sea Peoples. New Line Deign War Cart recommended for use with Homeric Hack- SEA-5, 25mm Pictured here is one of my War Carts (I have several and want to collect one for each unit of my Sea People army).These are dandy and with the forthcoming Homeric Hack I think they would work well as I have included War Carts in the Trojan Allies army. The London War Room has a very complete line of Sea Peoples and Biblical 25 mm figures. These can be seen in their on line catalog at: http://www.thelondonwarroom.com or e-mail them at: tlwr@thelondonwarroom.com.The London War Room carries our complete line of LMW Works publications. LMW Works Releases LMW Works will be releasing two new publications this year for Fall In!. Scott A. Monsour’s Rally Round the Flag; rules for gaming in the American Civil War. Expect to see Homeric Hack: Warfare in the Age of Heroes by Phil Viverito. See our full line of products at the Classical Hack Web Site: http://www.classicalhack.com. Other Releases Out of California comes the recent release of Steve Phenow’s Sarissa & Elephant. These are a set of rules for playing Ancient and Medieval battles. The main rules are a short 28 pages and have 20 pages of addenda which includes order log sheets, scenarios and army information. The book is paper back (8.5” by 11”). Knowing Steve there is a lot of well documented information and his interpretations are usually sound. For use with both 15 and 25mm figures. Up Coming Events Homeric Hack: Ancient Warfare in the Time of Heroes 1500 B.C. to 1184 B.C. will be ready for Mini-Wars (California) in October where you can also see our enormous model of Priam’s Troy. Mini-Wars is held in Glendale California on October 15 through 17 2004 A.D. Mini-Wars is one of those very important small local conventions which is at the heart of grass roots gaming. For more information about California Conventions contact Marcelo A. Figueroa at:squidguru@adelphia.net. For next year’s convention schedules I will be continuing the Trojan War Epic with more Siege of Troy The Battle for the Black Ships and The Battle of Thicket Ridge at Siege of Augusta in January. Other News Larry Huber at Brookhurst e-mailed me that the store has in stock the full Xyston range of 15mm figures as well as the newly released books Troy 1700-1250 B.C. (#17 Osprey), Mycenaean Citadel (#22) and Crusader Castles in the Holyland (#21). I have these and they are first rate sources. Troy I used to build my interpretation of the Homeric City of Priam. For those interested in the Roman Republic Brookhurst also carries Spartacus from WAB. Brookhurst carries all the LMW Works publications. Did You Know. . .
