Perry Miniatures announced a new range:
The Cape Frontier Wars – Books and FiguresLink: Perry Miniatures
We have teamed up again with the indomitable Col Mike Snook to bring you new resources for an overlooked period in wargaming. Mike has written two books, the first volume of which goes to the printers today and covers Cape Frontier warfare between 1834-53. In this volume he examines in depth the fighting men and type of warfare conducted during the 6th, 7th and 8th Cape Frontier Wars, the Boer-Ndebele War of 1836-7, the Boer –Zulu War of 1838-40, the Anglo-Boer confrontations in the 1840’s and the one day Anglo-Basotho war of 1852. If you’ve read ‘Go Strong into the Desert’, or any other book written by Mike, you will know how enjoyable, accurate and absorbing his works are. He spent five years as a peacekeeping adviser to the South African military, during which time he trekked the battlefields covered in this and the next volume, and so writes from a personal perspective and with an innate knowledge of the subject. The book is heavily illustrated with contemporary images and 41 colour ‘uniform’ plates by ourselves.
‘Cape Warriors: Volume 1 - Frontier Warfare & Fighting Men in Colonial South Africa 1834-53’ will be released at Salute. If you are going to Salute you could have your copy signed by the man himself on our stand (TE 15). The price will be £25, for the book…not the signature!
We will also be releasing a new range of figures to cover this exciting period, the first releases should be available just before Salute. A small smattering of castings have been painted already, which you can see on our Facebook page. We’ll put more up as we go along.
