More Posters

 

In a previous post  at the end of May, I commented about a nice little shop in Madrid specialised in old prints and  comics posters. At my last birthday (early May) I really couldn't think about birthday presents suggestions to anyone in my family (they rejected  to reinforce any of my little armies: "no más soldaditos, por favor" you could hear them saying). 

WWI Archaeology News

I thought this piece of news released in the BBC website could be of interest for WWI aficionados:

Archaeologists are beginning the most detailed ever study of a Western Front battlefield, an untouched site where 28 British tunnellers lie entombed after dying during brutal underground warfare. For WWI historians, it's the "holy grail".

On to Stalingrad (IV)

A quick update of the Stalingrad project. Head architect tovarich José Carlos just sent me a photo to demonstrate that he works day and night to have the buildings ready (he better does or else will be deported to Siberia). The buildings and figures are 28mm scale for those who want to know, and before you ask me. Really looking forward to this summer's campaign!!!!

Spring blues

A few months ago I showed you a beautiful Madrid winter view from my window. Just to dispel any myths about "sunny Spain" all year-round, I show you now how nasty the weather can be in Spring in my city. The Sauronesque towers look even more evil than before.

Señor Blakemore (a.k.a Sidney Roundwood) has kindly nominated my blog for the latest topic trend in the blogger's world, called the Stylish Award. If I'm not wrong, now I need to take three steps:

On to Stalingrad (III)

Our club mate José Carlos, who will very kindly lend his home to play our Stalingrad campaign next summer, has just sent a couple of photos of the type of buildings that will be sitting in our game table. A very impressive work indeed.
