Bellona Battlefields Interim Catalogue 1968/9

I've now dug out an earlier Bellona catalogue and am posting it now, in addition to the 1983 one found in an earlier post here

I am still using some of the stuff shown here such as the bridge and walls (although mine were a tan colour)

Nostalgic stuff indeed; 9 March 2010 at 18:27

Steve-the-Wargamer said...: RV3 - the best value piece of terrain I ever bought - a bridge that I'm still using now, almost 40 years after I got it (and it's been to Australia and back), and the three wall sections that I immediately started filling with plaster of paris and turning out wall sections that I'm also still using.... fantastic stuff - wish they were still in business...; 11 March 2010 at 12:06
Vintage Wargaming said...: Steve strangely I have just been staring at a small plastic packaging piece from Rick Stein's oat with cheese biscuits,thinking it would make an ideal mould for plaster casting a small air raid shelter with corrugated roof...

Sources, permissions and editorial policy

This site uses a range of sources to provide access to information about wargaming, for the most part from the 50s, 60s, and 70s. These sources are mainly paper based, may be ephemeral (catalogues, price lists, painting instructions etc), and in general are not easily accessible elsewhere.

I am particularly grateful to Don Featherstone and to John Tunstill, who have both given their permission for the reproduction of materials from their ground breaking magazines, respectively Wargamer's Newsletter and Miniature Warfare (and later Miniature Wafare and Model Soldiers).

Where possible I have made efforts to obtain permission for reproduction of any material covered by copyright.

Some of the source material is typescript, may be fragile, and in some cases to scan or photograph it may require the removal of staples and the destruction of the integrity of the original publication.

I have tried to deal with this in a number of ways, scanning or copying and adding as an image, or scanning for optical character recognition to provide text based posts. Where the content is more important than the aesthetic look of the original context, I have also taken the opportunity to make minor edits and layout changes to make the material work better on the screen. In these cases I may have edited for sense, corrected spelling or punctuation (including capitalization and the removeal of the wargamer's apostrophe). In doing this I recognise the advantage of working in an electronic format over the original editor working with typescript).

Of course these changes may lead to new mistakes and I would be grateful for any (polite) alerts to these through the comments system.

It is intended that this site will also include new writing on its subject areas.

This site is not commercial and will not involve any advertising or subscription. However, we do reserve the right to bring products we think may be of interest to readers to your attention, at our own discretion. No payment will be involved.
