The Late July News…
Well, here we are in late July, Historicon is in progress, and I’m here in Wisconsin trying to catch up on all my work…
One of my tasks is to update the news section of the website, so here goes my attempt at an update for the month of July.
While there is a lot going on around here, there is not much to report on. Production is still way behind, and every time I think we will get caught up, so other problem jumps up and dashes my hopes…
On the horizon are many new releases – I think I can safely say that we will see at least four-score new N-Gauge figures in the not too distant future. All are F&IW themed figures, but many will be usable for both the Seven Years War and the American Revolution. I have 10 or so greens in hand with another 20 or so waiting to ship out for Wisconsin.
It seems that This is the summer of Sharpe, Richard Sharpe that is…
With BBC America running a new Sharpe episode each Saturday all summer long and the September release of the next Sharpe novel: Sharpe’s Fury – the Battle of Barrosa, March 1811 is due to be released on 1 September 2006…

Before Richard Sharpe, there was Corporal Matthew Dodd of the 95th Rifles…
Separated from his regiment (stranded behind French lines) during the British retreat to Torres Vedras, Rifleman Matthew Dodd of Wellington’s army, organizes and leads Portuguese peasants in a savage and unrelenting guerilla campaign against a French regiment…
C.S. Forester’s book “Death to the French” was Jack Scruby’s inspiration for his line of rugged, individualistic 45mm Napoleonic miniatures. These miniatures are perfect for skirmish gaming and will provide for some sharp and exciting action between groups of elite soldiers during the Peninsular War.

As an added incentive, our 45mm Napoleonic figures will remain on sale until 1 September 2006. Our sale price for these figures is $1.99 each!
