Greetings…
Here is a lovely new book from Osprey that I snatched up as soon as I saw it…
https://www.ospreypublishing.com/uk/goths-ad-200700-9781472863065/The Goths, AD 200–700: : Elite Raffaele D’Amato Osprey Publishing
It’s a cracker… Full of excellent artwork and information…
All the usual Osprey fair… Easy to digest chapters covering the many phases of the Goth/Ostrogoth / Visigoth history….
It never dawned on me that when the Arab Conquest Armies crossed over from North Africa to Spain it was the Visigoths they fought first…
Now there would be a colourful collection…
The paper work has started to come through about my Cataract Surgery… So hopefully that is an indication that a date will indeed be set sooner rather than later…
I really want to paint toys…
All the best Aly

Last weekend saw this years gathering of The Wild Geese Wargamers…
As always it was a joy of an event…. Excellent Company, Excellent Food and Excellent Games…
I took part in three games… And much to everyone’s …( Including mine ) surprise… I did quite well 🙀.
Okay….
Here are the pictures…
Off course the first thing I did was go straight into Shiny 42mm Seven Years War…
Steve’s game was based on The Combat of Domstadtl-1758…
I was one of the Austrian ambushers…
Steve produced an impressive amount of wagons… All of which had to get over the bridge and off the table…
Our glorious Austrians attack the convoy… Vigorously.
It was close… But eventually the Austrians block off the bridge from the Prussians and started to cut them up bit by bit.
Hurrah!
Next up…
More Seven Years War…This time from Ken… And more wagons trying to get away over a bridge…
I was on the Austrian side…
The bridge with the wagons in the middle distance…
