Early Feb 2010

At last the next range of flags is ready - 1740-1806 Prussian Infantry. These are available in flag sizes from 6mm to 18mm tall and include all the regiments that served during the 7 Years War. Both single sheets and multi-sheet packs are available.

Progress on the next range is good and the Ancien Regime French Infantry should be available later this month and some more building sheets to follow in March.

A new 10mm Gallery has been added as well - some shots of a recent commission for the 1st Indo China War.

Jan 2010

From Monday 11th January 2010 all basing and magnetic products and publications will be sent out by 2nd class post (rather than 1st class as at present). All other products will continue to be sent 1st class. Prices to Europe will also be adjusted by then for the new postal rates that came in over the past year.

There will be a few adjustments to the list of 'standard' sized bases on offer. Some sizes that rarely sell will be removed and are adding some bases for the Impetus rules (120x80, 60 & 40mm). Any size of base can, however, still be ordered through our custom bases service.

Development of further flag and building ranges continues slowly but a backlog of painting commissions has meant that new releases have been only partly developed. I'm hoping to get some more ranges in production during the next two months so keep a lookout for news.

 

An apology to all customers who experienced delay in getting their orders after Xmas. Mostly it is probably due to the weather delaying the poor old postie but also because I was injured in a fall on the ice just before Xmas and have had to take it a bit easier than usual while I recover.

Dec 09

Sorry for the late posting of holiday dates but I've been distracted by real life for the last week or so. TTT is closed from 21st Dec until 5th January and any orders taken during that period will be posted out as soon as possible thereafter.

The last two increases in postage charges have reduced our profit margins but we found ways to cut other costs to avoid price increases. Unfortunately this can't continue much longer and we have to make some changes to restore margins. We have managed to keep prices stable now for over two years, despite increasing costs and, rather than increase our prices now, we have decided to start using 2nd Class postage instead.

August 09

The final two packs of Ancient Ship Counters are now available. AN5 is for the battle of Chios in 201BC - includes some larger ships (6's up to a 13) and a host of small Lembi. AN6 is for Actium in 31BC, the last battle of the era.

July 09

Two new packs have been added to our Ancient ship counters range. AN3 is a second Punic Wars pack with the Roman fleet equipped with Corvii and a modified Carthaginian fleet. AN4 has vessels for both sides for the battle of Cypriot Salamis in 306BC - the first big clash of the 'Age of the Polyreme'.

June 09

 The first set of our 1/300th Card Buildings range is now available - Medieval/Renaissance. Available as a set of 4 sheets or as individual sheets.

The first two sets of our NEW Ship Counters range are also available, for the Peloponnesian Wars and the Punic Wars. Two Full fleets of 1/600th, full colour counters in each set at a very economical price.

Also the Buchannan's Rangers Instant Army has been reduced in price.

April 09

At last a new Instant Army. This one is a bit of a departure - a 6mm Science Fiction force called Bucannan's Rangers (aka The Dogbreath Dragoons).

A couple of updates to the painting Galleries - some of the new 3mm Oddizal Osmy Paratroops and aircraft in the 3mm WW2 gallery and more 6mm Sci-Fi.

Also some additions to the Resources section : 6mm Renaissance, 1/3000th Pre-Dreadnoughts and 3mm Sci-Fi

Late January 09

New base Combi-Packs now available. These contain our usual MDF bases PLUS a sheet of FlexMetal to store the based figures on - or you could use them to make movement trays.

New stock has at last come in of the basing card and the 1.6mm thick sheets are available again. Also we have added 1.8mm thick sheets to the range - just that bit sturdier than 1.6mm. The best news though is that these packs are now DOWN IN PRICE. Thanks to a good deal from my supplier and buying in bulk I can reduce these packs by £1 to £6.50 a pack, larger packs of 4 or 6 sheets are also now available.

January 09

A NEW range of flags, this time for the English Civil War. 40 different sheets in sizes from 6mm to 18mm. Comprehensive coverage of English Foot regiments.

December 08

New additions to our Austerlitz range of flags - 15mm & 18mm sizes for French, Austrians & Russians. 12 new sheets in sizes suitable for 15mm figures. Also some updated News on future ranges.

Some additions to the 20th C gallery too - some Great War figures from a recent commission.

October 08

The first of our NEW Flag ranges launched - 1805 Napoleonics for Austerlitz. More ranges will follow later this year and early 2009 - see here for progress on these forthcoming ranges. 

September 08

More images of recent commissions added to the Galleries - new Gallery of 6mm Terrain & Scenics and additions to 3mm WW2, 6mm Horse & Musket and 10mm Horse & Musket

Some small production problems have delayed work on the flags but I'm still hoping to get the first range (which will be Napoleonics for Austerlitz) on sale in October with other ranges still in development before Xmas.

   
May 08

Magnetic backed card basing sheets and sheets of Flex-O-Metal and flexible Magnet have been added to our basing range. More details
