Blog Tidy Up & Future Proofing

Over the last week I've gone through all 470 odd pages on this blog to: 

• Remove dead links to long defunct sites like dmbmm.org.uk & the DBMMList on Yahoo! Groups.
• Check for malformed links (of which there were quite a few in the early days).
• Correct various errors in the html code (my sloppy editing).
• Remove a few early pages that only pointed to defunct sites.
• Future proofed how internal links are coded (a major task).

So, as always, if you find any broken links please leave a comment and I will endeavour to fix them.

Northern League - 2021 Review

It’s that time again. Unlike last year when the League was cancelled, it's time to review the state of the Northern League (the wargames competition scene in the North of England). I'm glad to say that this year I managed to participate in the final (open) round.

15 mm Arab Slingers (Forged in Battle)

And so it begins.  New year: new army!

In choosing a new army I wanted something versatile and something outside my normal bailiwick of late medieval armies.  After a bit of reading I decided on the Arab Conquest period (600 - 800 AD).  This was partly because it would give me my first "Dark Age" army, allowing me to enter more competitions, and partly because the period offers lots of armies to chose from but all with a common core.
