The Backyard Foundry (Workshop Practice, No. 25)
At one time most towns of any size had somewhere a small foundry which would undertake small casting jobs, often more out of interest and good neighbourliness than for commercial gain. Those days are no more and model engineers in many areas must either adapt commerically available castings or send away to a specialist foundry which will undertake small work, often at some expense and with some delay. The alternative is to set up a home foundry and to make one's own patterns and castings. This text covers all the basic principles of foundry work, describes materials and techniques, pattern-making, moulding boxes, cores and core-boxes, metals, all types of furnaces, and includes step-by-step procedures with examples of cylinders and wheels..

This book is packed with rules, painting advice and ideas for making great-looking terrain. It will appeal to anyone interested in playing games such as exploration in Darkest Africa, fighting for survival and glory in Rome's gladiatorial arenas and plundering the West African coast with your band of cutthroat pirates.

Our guest Editor, Paul Sawyer, has sifted through those articles and has pulled a selection of them together in a nicely balanced book, themed to concentrate on Pirates and Darkest Africa, but covering other historical periods too; Aztecs, Gladiators, Greeks and Romans.

THE PARAGUAYAN WAR: Armies of the Nineteenth Century:The Americas
This book should not be looked upon as a political or social history, although an understanding of these aspects would give a clearer insight into why and how Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, and Paraguay became embroiled in the largest war ever fought in South America. It is, rather, a work covering the military side of the events that took place between 1810-70, with a hint of the political undercurrents that motivated the various wars fought in the region during the same period. Hopefully it will encourage readers to become interested in Latin and Central American military history-a vast field of research largely neglected in both Britain and the United States. REVIEWS "...a must have book for South American Military history buffs... the ultimate uniform guide for the Paraguayan War. In addition to being excellent history, this is just what you need to recreate battles on the tabletop for those so inclined...will serve as a source for other books to come...it's that well-researched, that well-written, and it's that well-done." Magweb.com, 10/2008.
