Stirring the Imagi Nation

I had some time for reading on the ferry journey back home the other day, so rather than ploughing through a book, I decided to read The Wars of the Faltenian Succession, a collection of the articles written by Henry Hyde in the now defunct Battlegames magazine. I really liked Battlegames and enjoy reading Henry's articles in Wargames, Soldiers and Strategy, so I knew it wouldn't be a wasted opportunity.

I had this compilation on the Kindle but had only flicked through it before, metaphorically speaking, so it was worth a proper cover to cover read.  I'm glad I did as it was very interesting and has given me dome more ideas for Imagi-nation building, not only for my slowly moving post colonial Sandbox Skirmish project but also for classic eighteenth century wargame campaigning.

I love the pen and ink mapping!

I've thought about this many times before but dismissed it as too time consuming and unlikely to be of interest to anyone at the club. Now that I'm not going to the club on a regular basis and am more focussed on solo wargaming, it makes more sense, as I can do what I want at my own pace, which I've found to be far more productive. It's also much cheaper than before due to the availability of the ex-Wargames Factory plastic figures, of which I have a few boxes stashed away in the loft.

Another future project...who knows?
