So when, I spotted the range of excellent figures from the Perrys, I decided to take the plunge. This blog is intended to capture the development of this particular wargaming project beginning with the Suakin campaign of 1884. Along with my other project blogs - Project Marlborough.

Wargaming the War of the Spanish Succession. Sunday, 16 February 2014. So what is Project Marlborough? I visited Blenheim Palace. At the time I was rather more interested in the present rather than the 18th Century but the images were securely lodged in the back of my mind. Along with my other project blogs - Project Montrose.

Wargaming the Civil War in Scotland. Monday, 24 June 2013. So what is Project Montrose? Rather more years that I care to remember I came across some information on James Graham, first Marquis of Montrose, and his campaigns in Scotland during the Civil War. Given that I was interested in dipping my toe in gaming the English Civil War and these were relatively small engagements but with a interesting variety of troops it looked like an excellent starting point. But rather a complement to them.

Monday, 17 February 2014. So what is Project Mutiny? I am not sure I can accurately recall what first interested me in the Indian Mutiny of 1857. In all likelihood it may simply have been the new range of figures introduced by Mutineer Miniatures. Along with my other project blogs - Project Marlborough. This is something of an experiment.

His word is in my heart like a fire,. A fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in;.
