After a a break which has been too long I am back to crank the blog into life again.
The book project has been slower than hoped and sucks the life out of everything else, but the light is visible a long way down the tunnel...on the plus side I have some new ideas on tactics, running the ships and there is so much to say - maybe another book ?
I aim now to post two pieces each week. One dealing with history/archaeology and the other with gaming/visits/books/etc.
Histarch pieces to come....
Tuna and triereis- The fabulous eternal links between the Mediterranean diet and galley warfare.
Shed Wars - The sawdust and soil flies when archaeologists are in dispute.
Shooting at sea in the pre-gunpowder era - Could a ballistics computer help with catapult accuracy?
The Fire weapon- Some ideas go up in smoke, and I nearly do too.
Modelling....
Figures for deck fighters and rowers - which ones ?What scale ? Where from ?
Large scale models of galleys for gaming - how I make mine
Book reviews to come...
Une nave Punica
Zea Harbour II - The latest volume on the naval docks of ancient Athens.
If you have a topic you would like me to address I would be happy to put something together,
Just put a comment in.
