I’m delighted to announce that over the weekend we added two new packs of 28mm white metal miniatures to our Up Country (Vietnam) range.

These two new packs or US soldiers, armed with M14 rifles with add greater variety to our existing selection. The M14 was standard issue for Army and Marine formations through our the Sixties, and although replaced in Vietnam by the M16 in the early years of US involvement, these miniatures could also be suitable of Army and National Guards in the 1970’s.

I’m pleased to say that as off yesterday evening, the new English Harquebusier packs have been added to our shopping cart

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years contemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Added to our Workbench feature today are twelve new 28mm miniatures suitable for the Italian Wars. These three new packs are for the period 1495 – 1530.

Added today are the following packs for our huge Renaissance range;

• REN189 Tatar Segban horse-holders
• REN346 Spanish Gent d'Armes with lance upright

The triple bar helmet is most associated with the English Harquebusier cavalry of the 1640's, a lightened form of the heavier Cuirassiers dominant on the continent, Harquebusiers were the predominant cavalry type of the Parliamentarian army after 1643 as used by the 'Eastern Association'; and later the New Model Army, and although they became synonymous with the 'Roundhead' faction they could equally be found in 'Cavalier' units.

Whilst the rest of the British Wargames trade are running about like headless chickens preparing for this weeks Salute11 (Britain’s biggest wargames shows), we here at TAG are getting on with what we do best, making  fine new 28mm Renaissance miniatures, and supplying them through our fast and friendly mail-order service, through-out the world not just to those with-in travelling distance of London.

So I’m delighted to add to our shopping cart today, the following new 17th Century German miniatures for our ever increasing TYW range;
