1 May 2013 at 11:07pmA new desk lamp!
, only £26 from a seller on Amazon and delivered in a couple of days. Unlike my old lamp it comes with both a big heavy base, and also a screw-on clip thingy which I've ended up using here to fasten it to the edge of my desk, making some extra desktop space in the process.

Thoughts on Salute 2013
I went along to Salute at the weekend, and was very impressed. The massive numbers of attendees alone would tend to refute any idea that the hobby is struggling or that the internet is taking away from trade shows! Warlords do a very good job of putting on an event which has a very short set-up time and cannot really afford to put in many of the creature comforts of "proper" events held in a space like ExCeL - for example, carpet would be nice, but would probably add more than 50% to the cost of hall rental, and hence admissions, and a second day of opening would double the costs and also the costs to exhibitors of staying down at the show. A few people on TMP have whinged about ExCeL, however it is the only place in London with space and availability to host a show of that size, and those who complain about the catering are missing the point - the range and selection of catering is far better than any other equivalent venue, as long as you are prepared to walk along the central boulevard at ExCeL to find the outlet that suits you. Salute also benefits from the presence of the Marathon alongside in this respect, as all the catering outlets are open - this might not be the case if Salute were the only event in the venue that weekend.

The Pirates are Here!
My much-heralded Pirate army is now finished - just some ship rigging to finalise and then the whole thing will be ready to take the field in a rather ineffective yet amusing manner.

The Maratha In The Southern League
Don "The Don" McHugh organised a round of the Southern League one-day FoGR competition in chilly Clevedon recently and this encouraged me to field yet another new army (made up of rather dubiously morphed old figures) - the Maratha.
Now, in 3 fully detailed and historically accurate match reports you can see how the Renaissance Indians did against Samurai, Jin Chinese and finally full widescreen Technicolor Aztecs.
The reports also feature expert critique and analysis from a new member of the Madaxeman.com Pundits Panel, our resident expert on Indian armies, the legendary General and Indian King Hannibalipuripathi

28mm Renaissance Manufacturer Directory
The latest manufacturer directory on Madaxeman.com is for 28mm Renaissance manufacturers.
I've loosely defined "Renaissance" as C15 to the beginnings of the Marlburian era, and rolled in Samurai and Central Americans too so it should cover most people's definitions, although I have left out the non-Ottoman "Arabs" as they can tend to morph across Ancients ranges (which is maybe another project for another rainy day ..or three).
I'm sure there are some manufacturers I've missed so please let me know if you spot them.
The page has the usual voting buttons on it so you can rate the individual manufacturers, as well as descriptions of what ranges they carry and links to their websites. If I've got something wrong please let me know and I'll fix it!

A handful of photos of a 28mm game against Don "Not The Don" Avis on Thursday evening this week. My chaps are a parliamentarian army, fighting here against the dastardly French.

Bolt Action: World War II Wargames Rules
Written by veteran game designers Alessio Cavatore and Rick Priestley, "Bolt Action" is Warlord Games and Osprey's new 28mm skirmish ruleset that allows you to bring platoon sized chunks of the great battles of World War II to your tabletop
This full colour, 216-page, hardback book is beautifully produced and is a joy to own - most highly recommended. --militarymodelling.com
"An army consists of one or two platoons reinforced by vehicles (suggested one light and one heavy) and heavy weapons. It is quite clear that this is a skirmish rules set with limited forces - a full one thousand point army could easily be assembled for under £100" Amazon.co.uk reviewer
"If you're the sort of player that insists the difference between the front armour on a T34/85 and that of a Cromwell should be modelled or gets worked up over the difference in range between the Lee-Enfield and M1 then this game probably isn't for you. But if you're able to accept that such precise modelling of such things is in fact over-detailing and ultimately unrealistic and want a game with slick mechanics that model WWII actions reasonably well, then this game is ideal" Amazon.co.uk reviewer

A short spell in the ?Cooler?
21 May 2013 at 7:00amI hated the solitude ? I cannot begin to describe how much ? with nothing to read, nothing to look at, nobody to talk to. Even the food was punitive: a thin round of black bread for breakfast, thin ?soup? and a few potatoes for lunch, and another piece of bread in the evening. One lunchtime I had a bit of extra protein in the shape of grubs in the soup. Although very hungry, I passed that one up.
