New Russo-Japanese range now available!

Moving to a more digital / technical angle (And I seem to recall talking about this before).

This depends heavily upon the existing structure of the website.
I wouldn't advise re-structuring the whole site to enable this, if it isn't an easy switch.


Wargame ranges seem well suited to a multiple indices: 
Date (Chronology), Location (Geography) and another referencing specific wars (Because World Wars doen't really have a geography).


Anyway, I'm largely retired from the world of I.T. so while multiple indices are possible, they may involve more work than they're worth.

A successful national arms industry does not make every customer an ally.

But can have a nice side effect of poking a lion with a stick...

True, but it does help a bit with the old Weltpolitik.
Unless you think the Kaiser's 1908 interview in the Daily Telegraph genuinely represented his views in 1896-1900?
That doesn't really explain the homicidal rage at the Jamieson Raid, the Kruger Telegram or the approach to the Tsar to form an anti-British league.

Of course once it became clear the Boers were going to lose the 2nd Boer War the Kaiser slid through neutrality to abandonment of the Boers and delusional claims to have masterminded their defeat.

I'll have a think and see what the best course of action is.  I'm trying to avoid lumping all of the 20th Century stuff under one top-level category, as it's probably over 25% of our whole product range and would add another level of clicks to find things.  I remember internet 'best-practice' used to be a maximum of 3 clicks until you get the product otherwise people get bored and leave.  We're already at 3-4 clicks for some of the SCW and WWI ranges, so we don't want to add more there if it's not needed.

Hi Leon

Can I check on RJR18 Horse Holders - the contents to the price seems off.

For 4 horses and 5 infantry, £3 would look in line with other packs (cavalry are normally twice the cost of infantry, so 4 horses x2 = 8 inf + 5 inf gives 13, which is close enough to half the size of a normal pack).

Sorry second question - are the photos for Frontier Guard and Cossack artillery the right way round? Frontier Guard foot seem to be in short tunics, dismounted Cossacks in long coats - but for the artillery they seem to be the other way round?

Yep, should be £3 on those.  The crews were the wrong way round as well, the originals are here: https://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,22232.0.html

Thanks for confirming

Really nice looking figures with lots of potential for "Back of Beyond" type scenarios. Cossacks, Frontier Guards , and Chunchu would all fit nicely into that kind of setting.
