The dragoons keep coming
Strelets have announced a new set, and it is another for the War of the Spanish Succession. This time the set title is 'Dismounted French Dragoons in Skirmish', with a rather fine piece of artwork on their website. Although there is a long way to go, the depth of coverage of this conflict is becoming quite impressive. |

One for the ancients
Fans of ancient history have been doing very nicely from Linear-A just lately, and the good news keeps on coming. A new set has been added to the already extensive list of future projects with the intriguing title of 'Ptolemaic Surprise'. Not so long ago any set of Ptolemaic troops would have been a huge surprise, but this is the third such set promised by this prolific manufacturer so far. |
