First can I wish you all an enjoyable Easter break, even without pubs and cafes been open to sit down I have found the villages along the coast incredibly busy with visitors so I am out very early morning, walk the dog and back home before the crowds descend.
My wife is working all through Easter leaving me to get up to mischief!
Most of today has been spent sorting orders ready to post on Tuesday, but this afternoon I’ve slapped a bit of paint on the next 16 highlanders and taken a little time to look at my most recent board game purchase.
At first sight it looks very promising. High production quality as always from GMT games and not too mUch in the rules section to learn. A card driven game I think I will be able to adapt this to use as a campaign system for figures but I will know better once I’ve read the rules etc. I will report back.
In addition it was good to hear from Andy Stadden, he’s been busy during lockdown with orders for his model railway figures but he sent me some photos of the Indian labourers he’s making for me with a report that Sepoys, Havana militia etc should all be ready within the next couple of weeks. These are to accompany Stuart Insch’s next publication.
They look really good and are open to all sorts of conversions.
It’s also got me thinking about making some changes to Crann Tara and having a ‘specialist’ shop for limited production or special subjects. Just mulling it over at the moment and will report further next time.
In the meantime don’t eat to many chocolate eggs and enjoy the weekend.

Ooh interesting new figures Graham ... I can think of uses for them
The good solo rating on the back of the French and Indian wars box is a great start. Hope the rules work out for you.
Happy Easter, to you!
Happy Easter mate! Loads of tourists on my patch of coast too. Went in for a dip but blimey it was cold even with my wetsuit on. I’ll not be repeating that till May. Nice looking GMT game and figs. They’ll be keeping you busy and out of trouble I hope.
It’s always a good thing to buy presents... especially for yourself...
A lot of the Parks in my part of the world are getting locked up at night because of the behaviour of idiots...
It was the same last year... I feel sorry for the people that have to clean the mess up.
The figures look great... I do like Andrews work...
I could see these guys manning artillery pieces...
All the best. Aly
Havana Militia sound interesting?
Happy Easter Graham and a great looking GMT game to play as well. Have a wonderful day.
Hope you have a very happy Easter, Graham.
The village was mobbed with tourists yesterday so went into Edinburgh to avoid the crowds.
Going off to prepare a list of suggestions for limited production figures!!!!

Treating oneself is important ....especially just now!
Enjoy the game - hopefully it will generate some scenarios for you.
Please pass on my thanks to Andy!
He is Risen. Happy Easter to you and your family, Graham.
Lovely figures from Andy, and tremendously useful, I think. It shouldn’t take much to convert them to Afro-Caribbean laborers for the Sugar Islands campaigns. Open-handed figures are always in short supply.
Specially Shop? Count me in! It will be exciting to see how the concept progresses, and what treasures may come of it.

Gents,
Thanks for all your comments, I have a feeling this week could be a busy week for news and discussion 🤣
