A Strategy Tactical War Game

Posted on by

Coming soon, very soon…

A Strategy Tactical War Game, compiled by Jack Scruby.

This will be facsimile reprint, similar to the All About War Games book in format. Only this time with a twist! The original booklet was mimeographed (as was the norm for Jack Scruby at the time). Our new booklet will have the same look, down to the yellow Mimio paper stock. I came upon a stash of Mimio paper stock and we will be suing this paper for the first print run of A Strategy Tactical War Game. In our new edition, all of the original (interior) content will be printed on authentic (yellow) Mimio paper stock, while any new content will be presented on modern (white) paper stock. The cover will be card stock and will likely vary in color – meaning we may not standardize on a single cover stock (we have lots of card stock on hand, so while spend $ when we don’t have too?).

The first prototype booklets are in hand and they look good. Our final pieces are: cover layout and an introduction to this new print edition.

No price has been set as of yet, but this booklet will come in at $10 or less shipped to US addresses (international shipping slightly higher).

In closing we would also like to let you know that the All About War Games is back! We have moved to a print on demand model for this book. As such we will be able to provide copies when needed without need to wait for sufficient demand to justify a full print run. Be sure to check out our Table Top Talk Press page for ordering information.

Lastly, look for more printed projects during 2015; Fire and Charge , and perhaps even a new printed edition of Table Top Talk, tentatively an annual publication formatted much as was the CHARGE! magazine published by Scott Mingus…

Plenty more to talk/write about, check back for more.

British Guards

Posted on by

We all know that Jack Scruby’s theme at the Soldier Factory was British Guardsmen. A theme that until now has had little in the way of representation from HistoriFigs.

British Guardsmen

One of the projects that I’ve been putting off is the remolding of the 30mm British Guardsmen, in 1960s uniform (sorry, the only photograph I could find was of guardsmen in current uniform). We had just one small problem; the master and pattern castings for the rifles were AWOL! Well, the originals are still missing – however, I have finally reproduced the needed piece and have them ready to mold.

The patterns are in the mold shop, awaiting a molding date. My plan is to fit these in to the next open slot. Should be by the end of the month, just in time for my birthday in early May.

However, if you really want and need some sooner, let us know and I’m sure my arm can be twisted to mold them sooner.

We have enough variety to make up a dandy little ceremonial review or some such!

Our Guardsmen are dressed in 1960 dress uniform, bearskin, etc.

1570 ... Guardsman, bearskin, standing at attention
1571 ... Guards Officer, standing at attention
1572 ... Guardsman, standing, sloped rifle
1573 ... Guardsman, marching, sloped rifle

Note: some assembly required for 1572 and 1573

Look for more news later in the week.
