Firstly they are not regular issues or a magazine that you can subscribe too. They are all one off books, which I hope to bring out 3 or 4 times a year. What You Get They are from 76 to 84 A4 full colour pages in a semi hardback bound format. There are only 2000 copies produced for each issue, although some will be only 1000. Each one is specific to a particular period in history, ranging from Ancient Rome to D-Day in WW2. With the use of hundreds of full colour pictures, you can find out how to make the terrain for that period, along with houses, church's, towers, windmill, walling, fencing, wheat fields, thatching, fortifications and a whole lot more. Importantly, you also get advice on where to buy all the materials and of course, how to paint it all. You simply learn through easy to follow colour instructions and pictures, all the modeling tricks of the trade that I know and then some. I like to think they are stimulating, quality publications and the full range will I hope, bring something new and fresh to the hobby of Wargaming.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Touching History","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":30597070410,"sku":"","price":15.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1380\/9101\/products\/touching_hostory_2_2ab9e8b6-bb5b-4436-9a0d-72a67fc5f75f.jpg?v=1569058407"},{"product_id":"napoleonic-republic-to-empire","title":"Republic to Empire","description":"\u003cp\u003eNapoleonic wargames rules from Wordtwister Publishing\u003cbr\u003e Brought to you by the same team behind Beneath the Lily Banners, the book combines the writing of Barry Hilton with the creative talents of illustrator and designer Clarence Harrison.

Misreading the situation, the hunter became the hunted when the main Austrian army in Italy, over 30,000 soldiers with 100 cannon, advanced against Napoleon's 18,000 troops and dozen cannon on the Marengo plain.

Units can become weakened and rout; attackers can pursue, and the fortunes of war can intervene at any time.

It was the last major battle between the allied British, Portuguese and Spanish forces and the French armies, and opened the way for the invasion of France. It opposed 60,000 French soldiers commanded by King Joseph to 80,000 allies superbly trained and equipped attacking on three sides. Looking like a one-sided battle, things are far from obvious for the Allies and many what-ifs make the situation very interesting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOcaña, fought on 19 November 1809 was a major Spanish defeat that ended any chance of success in the Spanish Junta’s autumn campaign of 1809. The largest Spanish army under general Areizaga, more than 55,000 men, moved toward Madrid but allowed Marshal Soult and King Joseph to concentrate around 30,000 men. A brutal clash occurred at Ocaña, and a French cavalry movement on the flank rolled the Spanish line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSalamanca, fought on 22 July 1812, was a turning point in 1812. The battle saw the Anglo-Portuguese army under the Duke of Wellington defeat Marshal Marmont's French forces among the hills around Arapiles, south of Salamanca. Both armies, 50,000 men each, have been marching and countermarching for days trying to outflank each other. Wellington eventually caught the French in an over-extended position and struck at the center. A very well balanced battle, where a better concentration gave the advantage to Wellington.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSorauren is the last battle of the counteroffensive by Soult’s reorganized army of Spain in July 1813. It was part of a series of engagements in late July 1813 called the Battle of the Pyrenees in which a combined British and Portuguese force under Sir Arthur Wellesley held off Marshal Soult's French forces attempting to relieve Pamplona. Attacking a thin red line in a very good defensive position, the French were eventually pushed back, but the battle could have turned very differently.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Legion Wargames","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40649173237839,"sku":"","price":83.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1380\/9101\/products\/Quatre_Batailles_en_Espagne_48923f55-a682-4f6f-8e18-22a850d0f3d8.jpg?v=1569058191"},{"product_id":"chosen-men","title":"Chosen Men","description":"\u003cp\u003eChosen Men is a set of fast-action skirmish rules detailing the bloody skirmishes between light troops in the Napoleonic Wars.

For the Series 5X, there are a number of changes resulting from the increase in scale. Forage values are assigned by province. Russian Depots are printed on the map. Either side can capture or build a Depot which allows you to extend your LOC. For each Depot in the LOC you can add 8 hexes to the overall length. Depots help for Attrition but as the campaign wears on the capacity to garner new APs plummets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSecond Edition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThoroughly revised rulesbooks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eReprinted map.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUpgraded counters (redone to current standards)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRevised and corrected set up information.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNew design game box by Christopher Moeller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eReprint map covers European Russia from Tilsit to Moscow at a scale of 1:1,000,000.

There are now vedettes, though only for light cavalry in the first wave of units. After the board is full and the positions of the armies are known, the scouting rôle of cavalry is over. The ever-critical baggage and pontoon trains are newly included. Perhaps the biggest game-changer is the possibility of hidden forces. But the impact, again, is limited, once the armies close for battle, by the fact that units within visual sight distance are revealed. We have bridge destruction and repair.

Players must also allocate available crew points (a diminishing commodity as a ship takes damage) to man the guns, rigging, or other actions that the situation might mandate.
