The failure of the British army from a wargaming perspective is not in its men, but in its leaders. The generals, with a couple of notable exceptions, were not experienced in warfare and beyond issuing initial orders usually played little part in the battle. Failure to issue orders or to effectively communicate them to the divisional or brigade commanders often left brigades paralysed whilst they awaited instructions. Additionally, a genuine loathing of one another, and some generals' preference for elevating officers for their social standing, rather than command capability, exacerbated such problems.

3 Miniatures
‣ Lord Raglan

28mm ScaleIn an exception to the convention of the time of the Crimean War that a British infantry regiment would consist of only a single battalion, the Foot Guards each paraded more than one; the Grenadier Guards had three, the Coldstream Guards two, and the Scots Fusilier Guards two.Inkerman is an iconic battle for the Foot Guards as they held an isolated position unsupported against overwhelming odds. The Grenadiers were the only regiment to take their colours into the battle and as a result they became a focal point for the battalion, giving it not only a place to rally, but also a place to defend, as the men did not want to lose the colours of Queen Victoria's premier Foot Guard regiment. During the defence of the colours, Grenadier Captain Percy won the Victoria Cross. To commemorate the battle, one of the Grenadier Guards companies carries the honour "Inkerman Company" as does a company at the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst.Metal components.Contents:5 MiniaturesMiniatures are supplied unpainted.

28mm ScaleAt the Battle of Balaklava, the 13th Light Dragoons were at the forefront of the ill-fated Charge of the Light Brigade. Having weathered the storm through the valley, the regiment ploughing through the Russian artillery, and smashed straight into the cavalry beyond, but had insufficient forces to consolidate its position and was forced to withdraw, once again under fire of the Russian guns. In the fiasco, the regiment lost over 40 men, including three officers. The regiment would later go on to play a minor role at the Battle of Inkerman in November of the same year, and the Siege of Sevastopol.Metal components.Contents:3 MiniaturesMiniatures are supplied unpainted.

King Arthur is often seen as a figure of myth - surrounded by shining knights, devious wizards and magic swords, yet the legends of King Arthur may have some historical basis.This supplement delves into the historical sources for Arthur and provides all the rules and army lists you need to field a heroic British force defending against the depredations of the Saxons, Picts, Scots and Irish in the Dark Ages. The heroes and villains who populated the legends are also featured, allowing you to muster your favourite Arthurian characters on the battlefield.Scenarios for Arthurs twelve battles are detailed, as well as his final fight at Camlann where he faced his nemesis, Mordred. A campaign system allows you to play these as a single narrative, with options to play Arthur in a Welsh, Northern, Southern or pan-British context. An additional campaign brings to the table top the action described in Geoffrey of Monmouths spurious history of Arthur, whose victories culminated in the mass battle of Siesia, where Arthur and his allies faced off against the might of Rome and her allies in the East.
