What with one thing and another, it occurred to me that you’ve never seen the medieval Big Box in all its compact wargame glory.   One complete wargame  As you can see, the Big Box contains the following: A three foot by three foot ground covering cloth One large...

These 15mm octopods from 15mm.co.uk’s HOF line were supposed to be three adventurer types, but after painting them up, I couldn’t resist buying another pack of ten to make a full team.  Those are still in the mail, but will make for some nice grunts to round out this force....
