Setting The Scene volume 2 along with copies of volume 1 arrived a few days ago and Steve has been busy posting to everyone who has pre-ordered the book. If you haven't yet ordered and would like a copy of either book, then click on the link below for full details.

Volume 2 is 50% bigger than the first book at 148 pages and crammed with lots of useful information not just for terrain but also figure and vehicle painting.
There is also a whole chapter by Nick of Moiterei's Bunt Welt BlogSpot fame with his very own slot as guest painter.

If you would like to hear what the Lardettes think about the book then click on the link below to listen to their views on the TOO FAT LARDIES Oddcast 24. The book, I am very pleased to say, also made their coveted Best Bit on the Bench.

I have also been busy with the Perry Miniatures plastic sets making support options for Chain of Command. In the last post I used the Perry plastic Germans for making engineers, medics, flamethrowers, extra gun crew and so on, this time it is supports for the British and American forces.
I have also made another three destroyed buildings, as attacks from aircraft are now getting used more frequent in our games since the introduction of the Stuka rules in the TFL's 1940 handbook. Not that we are using Stuka's in mid war Italy but using the effects from the rules for the appropriate aircraft at that time.
On the Sharp Practice front, I have just finished painting up a British horse artillery gun and crew for my Napoleonic's in the Peninsula. I managed to paint this up in a day as I didn't have one in my collection and I needed it on the hurry up for something special. More of which will become clear in a future post.
And to show the Mediterranean book is not just for Napoleonic Peninsula or WW2 Sicily/Italy, with a change of figures and a few small items I will be transported back in time ready for Infamy, Infamy the upcoming TFL's Ancient rule set.
Cheers,
Pat.

It came, I saw, it conquered! Superb book.
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil.
DeleteAwesome! I'm really looking forward to these.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pat for mentioning me and my blog. It was a pleasure to contribute to your latest master stroke even if it took me ages to get my sorry backside into gear. Sorry for that. Your latest additions look fabulous as always and I‘m looking forward to what you'll come up with for Infamy, Infamy!
ReplyDeleteI've just ordered it from Karwansaray Publishers.
ReplyDeleteI've got two Spanish based demo games on in just under a year so I'm going to need it!
Thanks chaps.
ReplyDeleteMy copy just arrived in the post today, excellent book - congratulations Pat!
ReplyDeletethanks Jay.
DeleteReceived a few days back, only now got time to dig in to it. Very nicely done. Now off to ask Nick about the Italian uniform recipe. In the book the sample figure doesn't come out nearly as 'blue' as some of the glamour shots.
ReplyDeleteHi Pat!
ReplyDeleteI recently received the two volumes.
I wanted to congratulate you and Steve for your exceptional work.
I find a lot of tips and wise advice.
A huge thank you for this.
I hope there will be a volume 3, because it's a pleasure to read and discover your work.
(The photos are sumptuous, just like those of the blog)
Seconded! The book is very high quality and includes some serious terrain making projects that are high class. I've bought other books in the past that claimed to be top notch but found they were more like the old GW terrain making books! Your book is an exception, More power to you guys.
DeleteThanks chaps, very kind of you to say.
DeleteMissed this somehow, but as usual fantastic work Pat!
ReplyDeleteChristopher
Thanks Christopher.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you back in action and very sorry to hear about your recent loss. I have WSS100 but completely missed this campaign for some reason, so just dug it out again and look forward to following how it unfolds.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mark. I think it has a lot of potential, I just hope I can do it justice.
