X Marks The Spot

Helion and Company continue to present me with all sorts of interesting projects and authors, the largest of which was thirty four maps for the third book in a series of reprints of George Nafziger's work on Napoleonic battles, the last being Leipzig. About half of the maps were strategic movements but the others were all battle maps and I really enjoyed drawing these. Helion have contacts with many authors from beyond the old 'Iron Curtain' and this shows with new books from the Russian perspective on WWII along with Hungarian and Bulgarian etc. tomes covering both world war. Other periods are receiving attention as well, especially the17th and 18th centuries.

So here are a few recent doodling's covering the last couple of months:

The city of Narva, a work in progress.

 

 

 

 

 

 

At the moment on the drawing board lie the British Army in Egypt 1801, recruitment to Haig's armies WWI and the Persian Gulf between the wars.

Quiet on the wargaming side since my hectic weekend with Matt, the 3rd Foot are almost there, I have received some buildings from Charlie Foxtrot so I am unsure whether to build these or paint the next French battalion. Probably back to the club on Tuesday and in two weeks another wargaming extravaganza with my son.
