Greetings...
Over the last couple of weeks I have taken delivery of some more lovely things...
I suspect my post person is getting a lot more exercise these days...
First up is a terrain mat from Geek Villain...

This is it straight from the package... there are some crease lines visible but I draped it over a clothes rack in a warm room and most have disappeared , I think the remainder will come out with a light iron.
I saw this on Phil Robinson’s blog...

And thought I would try one...I chose the same one as Phil... Sicily.
My plan is to use it for my 3rd Century Roman games rather than construct a lot of new desert boards.
I really like making terrain but I am getting a bit short of space so if this works out I may get some more.
The Butterfly thinks this is a good idea as it opens up opportunities for lots more pretty desert based toys.đ
Next up are a couple of books from Osprey.

I have no plans whatsoever to dive into either of these periods/subjects but I have always found them interesting... (Yeah if you believe that I might even get you to vote for me in the next election)
I have had a quick look through them and they are what I would expect from Osprey.
Last we have a touch more nostalgia...
Well I say nostalgia but when I was a lad this kind of publication was well above my pay/pocket money grade...
Seventeen and sixpence.... I think you could buy a car for that back in 1969...
They are absolutely filled with useful stuff... I wish there were magazines like this nowadays.
Here is a pick of what I consider the highlights...
Flutter Flutter Flutter...
I am busy painting shiny things and tomorrow Mharaid and I have planned another FaceTime session so she can continue stomping all over me in our current game...
All the best Aly
