Col John Gill, who has just completed his superb “1809″ trilogy, kindly donated this article on one of my favorite battles, Fuentes de Oñoro, in which he gives us a wargamer’s delight: a meticulous examination of the forces engaged, possible historical options and considerations, and of course Lasalle ratings for all units and officers! Go [...]
Breaking news from Historicon: Lasalle won the HMGS Award for “Best Miniatures Rules” of the year. I was hanging around with Joe Moore at our little Lasalle tourney when John Holly and DJ Djordjevic came to grab me and haul me downstairs to accept the little trophy. Expect a picture of a stunned and [...]
Might and Reason, the grand-tactical game and campaign system for 18th century battles, went out of print this Spring, with only a few copies of the original book remaining with retailers. I am therefore offering the original book as a PDF download from the HONOUR website for only $16. (Wow, wadda bargain!) The original M&R had [...]
I’m happy to report that Lasalle has been nominated for another award: this time the Historicon Awards, in July. I’m not familiar with how this works, but I think it’s a simple ballot vote by members and attendees at the convention. So for everybody who loves Lasalle and will be at H-Con this year, may [...]
Happy Ferdinand von Schill Day, everybody! Yes, today, 31 May, is the 201st anniversary of the heroic and slightly silly death of my boy Ferd. (Which, if nothing else, gave the city of Stralsund a local hero to celebrate, other than a strange 14th-century Viking.) In celebration of this auspicious day, I offer two new [...]
Huzzah Huzzah! I’m pleased to announce that Lasalle has been nominated for the 2010 Origins Award for “Best Historical Miniatures Rules.” The nomination is of course lovely in itself. ”Grande Armée” and “Might and Reason” were both nominated in their day. But this time, we have fingers crossed to take home the little statue and [...]

The Poles have arrived! You may now download the Polish army list supplement. My thanks to Phil Karecki for his work on this army list, and to Juan Marcos, winner of the “Best Photos” submissions. Thank you to all the gamers who sent in pictures of their Polish troops: I think you’ll agree that Juan’s [...]
Mark Severin, whom many of you know as “Extra Crispy,” will be away in the coming week, and thus our warehouse and shipping will be closed. So if you order Lasalle next week, just be patient and we’ll get to it in a few days. Sam
The Polish Army List will be ready by the end of March. In what is becoming a sort of unintended ritual, it’s time again for me to send out the call for people to send me photos of their best-painted Polish troops in 15mm and/or 28mm. The guidelines are: 1. A well-lit, clear, Hi-Res photo [...]
