DARK PLACES: Professional Wargaming of Dark Themes
Examines wargames that are used to explore the darkest elements of conflict. Those usually run behind closed doors and rarely, if ever, reach the public domain. Sometimes these games are part of professional military activity, sometimes part of academic research.

They include: Bosnian Mercenary: Gaming the Chaos of the Disintegration of Yugoslavia; WMD 1945; My Aunt’s War: Civilian Experience of War; Between a Rock and a Hard Place: Gaming Surrender; Pickett’s Charge: Using Drama; The Button: Nuclear Decision Making; Exercise Hard Rock: Civil Defence; and The Tank Factory: Military Management of the Economy During Wartime. $25.00 USD

RUSSIA’S ARMY: A History from the Napoleonic Wars to the War in Ukraine
This comprehensive account covers the history of the Russian army from 1801 to 2022. Offers an analysis of military strategy and doctrine as reflected in specific campaigns, issues of manning and maintaining an army, and relations between army and society, at home and in the near-abroad. Identifies themes that weave their way through this military history: the adoption of a strategy to maintain a defensive posture in the West, an offensive strategy in the Balkans, and an expansionist policy in the East; maintenance of a large standing army; and a consistent unease about the army’s and non-Russian minorities’ loyalty to the state. $35.00 USD

Talking Miniatures: History of Games Workshop & Citadel Miniatures
Two-volume set in slip case recaps the early years of Games Workshop and Citadel Miniatures. Written and compiled by former White Dwarf editor and Design Studio manager Robin Dews, and ex-Citadel/GW sales director, now head of Warlord Games, John Stallard, the book consists of a series of lavishly illustrated conversations with some of the eclectic cast of designers, sculptors, artists, rebels and similar non-conformists who in the early 1980s gravitated towards Bryan Ansell and the early Citadel Miniatures team. $80.00 USD
The army raised by Charles I in 1625 for his war against Spain – and subsequently, with France – is most famous for its failure, but it is one of the best-documented armies of the early 17th Century. First half of the book covers the origins and lives of the officers and men serving in the army of Charles I, as well as the women who accompanied them. Discusses how men from England, Scotland and Ireland were recruited, clothed, fed, given medical care, and taught tactics. Second half of the book covers expeditions to Cadiz, the Isle de Rhe, and the siege of La Rochelle and their effect on England that feared a Spanish (and later a French) invasion. Also covered are the campaigns of Count Ernest von Mansfeldt and Sir Charles Morgan and battles of Breda, Dessau Bridge, and against the forces of the Holy Roman Empire. The final chapter examines disbandment of the army and fates of soldiers and their widows. Includes 30 black-and-white illustrations, maps, and four pages of color plates. $50.00

Represents the Early Saxons, Jutes, Angles, and Danes (all grouped together under the title Saxon) that invaded Britain during the 4th to 6th centuries.

Set includes: 36 x unarmored warrior bodies; 36 x small round bucklers (9mm in diameter); 36 x larger round shields, half flat and half slightly domed (14mm in diameter); 60 x helmeted heads; 30 x bare heads and heads with caps; An assortment of sword, axe, javelin and spear arms; and 12 x fur cloaks. These figures can easily be used as other Dark Age Germanic warriors and even be mixed with later Saxons and Vikings. Figures from the Late Romans sets would not look out of place alongside these in a warband. All adding massive amounts of variety to our ever-expanding Dark Age range. $54.00 USD
