Well, Im quite excited (!!!!) as I have a delivery due in the next few days that should be full of loads of interesting goodies.

I've sent off for a spattering of wargames stuff, including some WWII vehicles and various new plastic troops from the likes of Perry miniatures and Victrix.

I've been so taken with the Warlord stuff that it's kicked off (well rekindled) my historical wargames interest - and Im quite taken with trying a bit of the old Warhammer Ancient Battles.

The only trouble I have with WAB is everytime I think I know what army I'm going to put together (Romans were the leader at the first stages) I read one of the historical supplements and find myself going off in another direction.

I suppose I'll just have to build everthing !

I'm also looking forward to trying some Amercian Civil War, fielding Perry Miniature plastics for the bulk of the troops.

I've never been taken with ACW in the past, though they have always looked good in games magazines, esp shots from the Wargames Holiday Centre (the one run by the late, great Peter Gilder) but find myself keen to have a go with the period.

I nearly cracked open a pack of Warlord Romans today to start painting up - but resisted the urge. I'm running low and need to wait until the next delivery arrives !

One of the hardest things about running Sire Games is being surrounded by games stuff and resisting the temptation to open it all.

Oh - I've posted a quick pic of a Warlord Roman next to a GW Empire spearman on the site (in the articles section) just for size comparision - though it will look better when I have a painted figure to show, and a unit or two as well.

Ok, onwards and upwards.

All the best

Steve
