Sturmovik Commander

Hi  after recently finding these great rules ,I have spoken to Marcin Gerkowicz and he has allowed us to use these rules as part of our fundraising efforts for the Royal British Legion. So the plan for games next year are: Ambush Alley using Britsh and Taliban forces as this year plus ,Force on Force for the Malayan Emergency and World War 2 Aircombat using Sturmovik Commander .Please take a look at this fantastic rule set that is fully supported with extras and scenarios ,a great web site http://www.sturmovik-commander.com/ and a yahoo group http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/sturmovik-commander/?yguid=185532224 .

The Town that never forgets

From Royal British Legion suppporters letter
Sept 2010

" It happened spontaneously. Three years ago a lone Hearse containing a flag-draped coffin passed slowly along Wootton Bassett High street .By chance three men- one of whom is a local British Legion member -were there. They stood to attention.It was only later they discovered it was a fallen soldier who been repatriated at neaby RAF Lyneham .
At the next repatriation the numbers of people payng their respects grew, and so it continued .Now with the numbers of young service men and women who have died whilst defending our freedom in Afghanistan reaching over 320 ,the pavements of this small wiltshire market town are six deep with townspeople paying their repects at each repatriation".

In honour of the towns repatriations The Royal British legion is to open a Field of rememberance dedicated to all those who have lost their lives in Afghanistan.A member of the Royal Family will open the Field of Rememberance on 9th November 2010 inWootten Bassett.

Remember them please support the Royal British Legion .

Britannia Mongoose comparison

Britannia Jackle & Mongoose technical

Britannia Afghans next to a Mongoose technical

The mongoose is slightly slimmer

Side by side

The Mongoose kit kindly sent by Matakishi visit his amazing site http://www.matakishi.com/index.htm

On a recent thread on the Ambush Alley forum it was mentioned that Mongoose publishing was getting rid of some of their ranges, including the battlefield evolution range .I was interested in the technicals that were being sold off at £4.99 for three ,so on the AA forum I asked if any one knew if they 20mm scale , going one better Matakishi sent me three he no longer required ,and here they are , plus some comparison shots with the 20mm Technical sold by Britannia and with some of 20mm afghans and a Jackle also from Britannia . A good match I think.
