In this episode of On Patrol, we take a look at what we feel makes for a good miniature manufacture. We did this by considering 6 key points for the miniatures they sell and why they matter. Those 6 points are Quality, Details, Integration, Customization, Range, and Price. Our goal is to offer you points of consideration when looking at buying miniatures from a company you have never bought from before. Hopefully this will help new and seasoned player alike and, as always, we would love to hear what you think in the comments below.

Change is almost inevitable in the world…and the same is true about wargaming rulesets. So how do authors avoid the dreaded problem of making something stale…..or even worse making the tiny change that implodes the system on itself. In this Episode Wyndhurst Productions and Fightin Kentuckian wanted to examine one of the most popular Blackpowder skirmish rulesets set in the North America during the 18th Century…..and how this ruleset evolved in it’s 2nd version to new frontiers (Europe?), card decks, command points. With almost a decade in version 1, and over 3 years in version 2..lets take a deep dive into both of these versions, talk about our likes and dislikes…and if the ruleset stands up to the brave new frontier of changes…or maybe ends of scalped at the bottom of the bin.

In this Episode we are going to dive into the often-overlooked world of basing. You’ve spent all that time on your impressive army or skirmish force, and now you have to think about those last finishing touches for the tabletop. But where is your army fighting? What is the dirt? Sand? Grass look like? Urban basing? Also, most importantly…what are the dimensions of the base? “Oh that’s easy enough,” you retort. “The rules spell it out for me.” Is that the only ruleset you’ll play with that army? Does it give you the most flexibility for that army? Can you maneuver it on the tabletop easily? WP production and I will tackle all of these questions and much more on this episode of On Patrol
