I invite the community to follow my first Triumph painting project, a Yi Dynasty (Joseon) Korean army using the relatively new Essex 15mm Late 16th C. Korean range. Apologies in advance for what will inevitably be a long drawn out project. Blogsite ink at: https://fanatichris.wordpress.com/2020/08/0...

Asymmetrical battles would be typical of campaign-style gaming, where armies carry losses from preceding battles, can add allies, and/or recruit up loses between battles, depending on how much territory you still controlled.

Plastic Soldier Company has announced a range of 15mm plastic ancients to support the Mortem Et Gloriam rules, starting with army boxes for Late Imperial Romans, Goths, Huns and Sassanids. There is a teaser shot of Gothic horse on TMP: http://theminiaturespage.com/news/?id=49825425 They are taking p...

Within the Urartian list in Meshwesh, there is an option for an allied contingent of Musasirians, which was a new group to me, so I turned to Google and learned that Musasir was the name of a Mannean (temple)(city)(kingdom) located on the banks of the Great Zab river between Lakes Van and Urmial tha...
