War on the Eastern Frontier is the most recent gaming supplement in the Father Tilly series.

As the title suggests, this supplement looks at warfare on the eastern borders of Europe, from the "Time of Troubles" to "The Deluge" and provides a detailed look at the Ottoman, Polish and Muscovite armies. This booklet provides army lists which focus on the troop types, tactics, weaponry and deployment of these new opponents but also looks at the way western armies had to adapt to face these fast moving and ferocious enemies.

Its been quite a while since i have been able to say that i have added new miniatures to our shopping cart, but today i am delighted to say that i have done so.

The French War is the fifth in the series of Thirty Years War supplements for Father Tilly.

This period saw the arrival of French armies in Germany and their struggle and eventual success against their rivals the Spanish. Included in this supplement are extensive army lists for new arrivals and old enemies alike as wells as descriptions of how tactics and formations changed during the period and of course detailed profiles of the leading generals.

Welcome back to TAG in 2010, and thank you to everybody that made 2009 a record year for us.

This release, the first of the New Year, is a lot of tidying up from last year, all these items shown as listed on our shopping cart today are items that have been specifically requested by TAG customers which i had promised to add to the cart before Christmas, so this is us catching up and clearing the decks before the next full Spanish Century release.

These are the new items;

Hello, and welcome to the first full release this year from The Assault Group

These six packs of 28mm miniatures represent the last of the Spanish Infantry we are making for the start of the Great Italian War.

The pack details are as follows;

• REN321    Spanish/Conquistador wardogs and handlers
• REN322    Neapolitan/Spanish with swords and bucklers I
• REN323    Neapolitan/Spanish with swords and bucklers II

Grand Ambition is another set of rules that uses the AB One system.

Having covered the Thirty Years War period and the English Civil War with previous versions, I wanted to finish off the seventeenth century by covering the wars of James II, Louis XIV and William III.

This later period saw the rise of the standing army: regular troops, funded by the state and employed all year round. This period also saw significant developments in weaponry and tactics and it is these changes that I hope are reflected in the rules. Included in the Grand Ambition rule book are sections detailing with the organisation of troops and the type of formations and tactics deployed.
