periods I play (2016 update)

Back in 2007 not long after I started the blog I summarised what I had to play with so I thought I'd update the list to see what had changed.

20mm Ancients - Ancient British/Gauls, Greek Hoplites, Roman and recently Macedonian, Various oddments have been added and a Parthian army.

20mm Medievals Saxons/Normans and various medieval figures. A big increase here with Teutonic knights, Burgundians and Swiss and lots of extra figures enabling me to fight either HYW or WOTR games.

6mm Ancients (based for 15mm DBA so 4 times the figures per base) - Byzantine, Huns, Sassanid, Norman, Saxon, Viking. - No change

NEW 20mm Renaissance Ottomans, Poles and Cossacks
