Those chaps at Brigade Models aren't men, they're production-line machines themselves!



Following hard on the heels of the Belgian and French armies, the Austro-Hungarians expand the wars of Land Ironclads into south-eastern Europe.

Burpa Revolt Footage

What ho chaps! I was browsing the old Babbage Machine after a bit of tiffin and came across this chronophotographic footage of the recent Burpa rebellion involving my old fag from Eton, Sidders. Looks like he managed to fight the bally Pandees off with the brave lads of the Third Foot and Mouth. Jolly good show what?!

The Ides of March

Good advice - ignore Soothsayers at your peril!
Today is "Idus Martii" - take care and cancel any Senate tours or visits you may have planned...

Vincenzo Camuccini, Mort de César, 1798.
