The latest WSS podcast is out. We’ve got lots of global correspondents out and about in this episode updating us on their local wargaming scene.

The Usual Suspects, but which one is Keyser Soze?

Of course! :-D

Butcher and Bolt isn't ready yet. We are reviewing 1918.

Yes, the Falke and Uhu.

The Ice Queen does, too. One person, one vote. She's the lady, and she has the one and only vote!

Tell that to the Ice Queen! :-P

I see autocorrect changed the author's name from Brendan! Apologies - my volunteer Sam posted this. I'll ask him to check things before he posts in future. Hopefully no harm done.

This was posted by my helper Sam. Bless him! No capital letter for the Austrians either! D'oh!

Butcher & Bolt | Lasting Games Butcher & Bolt - a unique and immersive wargame of daring raids and covert operations in WW2

I believe they were:

You'll forgive Sam, my friend who helped me out today. He's still learning. And indeed, Britain, not England!

Hey, BlueSkyers! We've to an article for WS&S which needs pictures of 28mm single Austrians suitable for the Italian Campaign of 1800. They need to be well painted to be in the magazine. Has anyone any suggestions?

There's a new WSS podcast!

In the midst of everything going on in the world, your regular reminder that the WSS Digital Subscription www.karwansaraypublishers.com/en-gb/pages/... is IMHO probably about the best value #Wargaming purchase you can make.

And no, @thedarkiscool.bsky.social is not paying me to say this 😆

LOL!

LOL only occasionally! I'd grow tired of listening to my own voice... :-D

I'm looking for some suggestions for Wargames-related podcasts to listen to. What suggestions do my fellow Blue Skyers have?

Samurai - 15mm Supplier and retailer of Eureka Miniatures and AB Figures in the UK & Europe - the finest metal miniatures for tabletop wargaming - made in Australia, sold Worldwide.

As I recall, there's also the Eureka Samurai in 15mm...

eurekaminuk.com/collections/...

There are ranges by Khurasan, Essex, Old Glory and Irregular. You might be a bit stuck on the fantasy side, but that's not my forte!

I am a fan of the Peter Pig range. That'd be a good start.

As I recall, the old Two Dragons range is with Minifigs.

It was a pleasure, mate. Thanks for the help with reporting.

Closer to Dunwich maybe? But that'd be Suffolk.

Looking good!

This hurts my brain a little bit.

We've been looking at alternatives. I know of two companies who are providing services for manufacturers, so hace messaged them to see if they are happy with me forwarding their details.
