Minifigs S Range Seven Years War

Over on the Lone S Ranger blog I have posted some information on these figures. There are a number of figures which I have not been able definitely to identify, and there are also a fair number for which I have no pictures. If you know this range quite well, or maybe even have figures from it, I would be grateful if you e a look at the blog and pass on any further identification help you may be able to give.

These posts can be found here.

Vintage Wargaming said...: Thanks very much Bob and Conrad for your kind nominations. As I like both your blogs very much this is very gratifying, but after thinking about it I don't think this kind of thing is for me. I also didn't want to announce in a post (as some others have done) that I wasn't accepting - that seems to make a big show of it and to defeat the object - so I thought I'd just respond to the comments. No criticism is intended of those who have accepted these awards, and if you really want seven things you din't know about me let me know and I'll e-mail them to you. Thanks again

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.
