Tam Laurie
Well That’s another old pal passed – the worst thing about getting older is when people die. Tam Laurie I first met, around 2002 when he had been working at a pub in Rose St on the door. He turned out to

Action Force
Another of the Action force toys that has recently fell into my hands is that of the Q-force Aqua trooper. Q-force was the naval arm of Action Force, and this particular one was an underwater swimmer with breathing aparatus, forming up the

Red Shadows Shadow track
So the toy I wanted more than anything growing up was the Red Shadows Shadowtrack. I managed to get the laser exterminator as my big action force vehicle, then transformers from then on as my folks simply couldn’t afford any (I was

Scourge Scenics Spotlight
Thirty-five years ago, a friend of mine introduced me to my first tabletop wargame, Warhammer Fantasy Battles. I was instantly hooked, and quickly moved on to the newly-released sci-fi iteration Warhammer 40K. Needless to say, once I discovered the existence of an

15mm British 25pdr & CMP Quad Tractor (Plastic Soldier Company) Review
This is another kit that I was fortunate enough to pick up from a clearance house with a very generous multi-buy discount on top of the low price. I actually bought two sets, as I wanted to assemble both artillery and anti-tank

Flames of War: North Africa Book Review
I’ve been collecting various Mid-War Flames of War armies for a while now, and had already grabbed myself the individual countries’ African campaign books (Armoured Fist– British, Fighting First– American, Avanti– Italian, and Afrika Korps– German). However, I was a little disappointed that none of them offered

Team Yankee British Mechanised Company Review (TBBX10)
Here we have a boxed set of British Mechanised Infantry for the World War III combat game Team Yankee. I grabbed mine to go with my FV432 APCs, but the unit sizes are exactly the same, so the box will work just

AMX-30/AMX AuF1 Platoon (Battlefront Miniatures/Team Yankee) Review
I grabbed a couple of boxes of these guys to complement a Team Yankee French Leclerc starter force which I’d already nabbed, for no reason other than that I like the look of the AMX-30 tanks. They’re beautiful to behold, although I’m
