Figure Manufactures
 |
Front Rank - 25mm - Good if not
excellent detail, slightly chunky, but paint up extremely well.
Battalion packs are a good bargain. |
 |
Old Glory - 25mm - Good figures, unfortunately sold only in packs,
but saying that a pack contains on average 30 figs and works out at
another bargain. |
 |
Redoubt Enterprises - 25mm - Good figures, wow what a range and their ACW
ranges has too many figures to count. |
 |
SHQ (? no web
site) - 20mm - Excellent WW II 20mm figures. |
 |
Peter Pig -
15mm - Good figures. Not a large
amount of ranges, but huge amount of packs in each range.
Recommend, Vietnam, ACW and modern African wars. |
 |
Gripping
Beast - (lost web site - ?now redundant) Truly excellent figures.
Splendid range of every type of dark age warriors you could think of.
Paint up really well. Seeing is believing as they say! |
 |
Whitecross Games - Nice
figures, small range at the moment, but I'm sure it will grow.
Late Roman - early Byzantines, plus weapons and shield packs.
Quality very good. Have not compared figures but could possibly
mix in with Gripping Beast figures? |
|
|
Buildings/Terrain
 |
Hovels - Range of buildings for most historical
periods and scales. |
 |
Grand Manner - Very impressive buildings with
internal detail. Thus makes them pricey, but ideal for skirmish
wargames. |
 |
Ainsty Casting Company - Nice building and barricade, also small
boats. Oh! and figures. Mainly Sci-Fi corridors and fantasy
dungeons and sewers! Also historical and general items. |
 |
Snapdragon Studio - Some of the best buildings around,
solid and chunky, but reasonably priced. Everything from
Mexican/Spanish, wild west/ACW, WW I & WWII, countryside items and
sci-fi. |
 |
Billy's
Shed - Bit skint, try this web site, all
you need is printing paper, colour ink cartridge in the printer and
some scraps of card. Download and print off buildings, easy to
assemble. Great for getting the kids involved in wargaming |
 |
Behind The
Lines - Excellent little company that sell second hand
books, new and second hand war board games (Including the fabulous
"ZOMBIES"). They also now stock 'LAST VALLEY' hand made
terrain pieces, excellent and bring any wargame too life! |
|
|
Rules
 |
freewargamesrules.co.uk - Wow! What a site,
loads of rules and games that you can download and print, plus links
to rules authors home pages. Best news it's all for FREE!! |
 |
Axles and Alloys
- OK maybe not everyone's 'cup of Earl Grey', but take a look
anyway. Site has free rules for a mad max / post holocaust
road racing game with guns. Also explains how to convert toy
cars to mean machines with teeth!! Plenty of pics of
cars and trucks. A future project for me I think - 'oh no not
another one', my subconscious groans!!! |
|
General Wargames Stuff
 |
Wargames Forum -
Loads of stuff for the wargamer, traders links, reviews section, free
rules, clubs directory and even an events diary.
|
 |
War Flag - Site
containing full colour flags of numerous periods ready to be printed
off. Site dose not seem to have been up dated for a while.
Then again save money on buying flags for £2:50 a piece! |
|
|
Free Wargames Stuff
 |
Dawn of
the dead board game - Yes!
The original board game that costs a fortune to buy second-hand and
is being copied and sold in a zip lock bag for nearly the same
price, is absolutely FREE, YES FREE! Just download and print
off, ok have to spend time cutting and gluing but hey! As I said
it's FREE. |
|
|
Shows & Clubs
 |
Colours - Reading - Excellent show, good bring
and buy stall, although venue could be larger. |
 |
Siege
- Swindon - Excellent show. Not to big and not to small, a great day
out (including cheep club bar!) What more can I say.....Oh! Yes...GO! |
 |
Reveille II : The Last Post
- Bristol. small venue
but local.This show is only a couple of years old. |
 |
SAD Wargamers - Swindon.
Not true! A very nice and happy bunch of lads (so they should
be, with the price of the beer behind their club's bar)!! |
|
|
Military Books
 |
Osprey Publishing- Well, what can I say.
The best military books ever published. If you've never seen one
of their books try their web site or better still go to a decent
bookshop and take a look. WARNING once you've brought
one, you'll be wanting another and before you know it you will have an
overflowing collection and plenty of ear bending from you're
wife/partner, I can tell you!! |
 |
Caliver Books - Good book company (mail order and
shows only), huge range of periods covered, although specialist
in English Civil War. Also offers out of print and rare books
service. |
 |
Helion & Company -
Another very good book company (mail
order and shows), wide range and one good thing, they take book
tokens, so you can unload Auntie Flo's birthday and Xmas presents
she's given you. |
|
|
Re-enactment
|
|
Non - Wargame Links
 |
Seti At Home - Wow! This is so cool. Sign- up, it's
free, then download the program and first batch of data. All the
data of noises from outer space has been collected, but it will take
years and years to analyse. So you can help by doing this on
your PC. Either in the background or as a screen saver.
First one to detect intelligent life ? FAME AT LAST! |
 |
Darwin Awards
- Have you ever wondered why some people are so stupid, it's a
wonder they remember to breath?! Well take a look at this site
and it'll make you wonder even more, Hey! You may recognise
someone! |
 |
CoopVets
Delta Force Squad - I play DF on-line
and a member of an official squad, At present there are 7
platoons. We mainly play coop games. We talk to each
other while playing over the net, it's good fun! |
 |
The Giant African Land Snail - Myself and another club
members has 2 of these each! There great! Tend to look after
themselves easy to care for, just top up food and clean out every 1
- 2 weeks. Oh and they like a drop of real ale and you can't
hear them having heavy philosophical discussions when drunk!!!! |
 |
Riverside
Drive Mobile Home Park - OK, so why this site? Well
firstly it's another site that I have done and secondly it's my
father-in-laws business, so to keep him sweet I've put a link on
this site. |
 |

laying around, as social outcasts. a fun sight that WILL
