The Canadian Wargamer: This 20-30 page publication apparently alternates with "The Trumpeter," on a $2.00 per annum subscription rate. Issues received contained good articles, numerous tank prints, and excellent general hobby information. One, I believe, carried an elaborate board game for the "War of 1812" on the since demilitarized U.S.-Canadian border. An excellent buy for the money. Send to: J.A.

Gammage Miniatures: We have received for review a number of these figures thorugh a distributor. Most interesting are the Napoleonic French and British artillery groups. The guns are probably the best Napoleonic 20mm pieces I've seen, cleanly cast and pre assembled Gribeauval a,nd English 1809 (split and single trail) weapons for which complete teams and crews, also well designed and cleanly cast, are available. Only comparable items are the famous Thomas A.C.W. line. Cavalry and infantry are also available. Wheaton Plaza Hobby Shop and Arlington Hobby Crafters stock these figures in the Washington area. Foot .20, standards. 30, mounted .55 -- Cannons $1.35.

Editions Belaubre: We have also received, in spite of strikes on both sides of the Atlantic, a wide sampling of 17th Century 20mfn flats edited by Jean Belaubre in conjunction with my old friend Pierre Foure. The two seem to have decided on having 17th century wars through the Relief of Vienna (1680?), so they commissioned a series of winged hussars, 2nd Rank heavy cavalry, Pancerynys (medium cavalry in chain mail with lance or matchlock, bow, scimitar, etc.), Valaques (light cavalry), Tartars (missile armed light cavalry), Zaporogne, Radziwill, Sobieski Guard, and Magyzr infantry types. The cavalry are all trotting, weapons erect, to give greatest show combined with most flexible wargame posture. The infantry are advancing, chiefly with ax and musket, though pikemen occur. Turkish troops and some western European items are scheduled his year. Also, a Scottish Pikeman, archer, musketeer, and musketeer with bow (in case he misses!) are provided for the highland fanatic, circa 1600-1700, suitable for Scots under Montrose, Leslie, Gustavus Adolphus and any number of others. U.S. prices at Corr's in Washington and the Hobby House will probably run around .25 for mounted, .15 for foot troops. Those wishing to purchase several dozen at once contact T.A.G.

Airfix Ltd.: Rumor is once again homing on the production of Napoleonics by this mainstay of the frugal Wargamer. More information when it arrives. Chances are this will not do much damage to gross sales in the metal Napoleonics, but, while expanding Napoleonic wargaming, will push the majority into 20-25mm armies.

Scruby Figures: A complete re-issue of 30mm Napoleonics is well along. Jack has, after a highly satisfactory start, improved annually in his engraving and sculpting skill. The move now is to bring the Napoleonic lines up to contemporary quality. Whether this softens or hardens the blow of his latest price hike (.30-Foot, .60-horse) is subjective.

Miniature Figurines: Now pushing English Civil War, 18th Century, and Crimean ("S" range) figures. I cannot claim to be a connoisseur of these 20-25mm figures, as most of my collection for those periods is in 30mm. Flats, but one of the finest 20-25mm figures I've seen is their armed to the teeth 6th Century Cataphract, and the prices are reasonable.
