The nights are beginning to draw in after a simply glorious summer. Activity in FLW land will now move to t'other blog, as new rules are developed for FLW.

The books are also available online from Lulu.
Here, garden and indoor sieges will resume after all the naval gaming. Thank you for all the support.
I realise I have now been painting, collecting and playing with toy soldiers for 55 years, and first discovered HG and Little Wars 49 years ago. My Da Capo 'first paper book' edition of Little Wars was published, and purchased for me, in 1977. It cost £4.95 and was a special order from Smith's of Wigan. According to the Bank of England's Inflation calculator this would equate to £29.95. The Wellsian 'ethernet' calculates it at £39.92. My parents were generous and encouraging. It has proved to be the best purchase, and my favourite book.


We are lucky to have a hobby that has sustained us over many years , through good and bad. Fortunate indeed.
