A small reminder that MILL 21 can come out in February 2025. Hope you can make a contribution. If you can manage two sentences (20 words) and a photo, then you have an article.
A chance to get some information and thoughts out there.

Pluck the goose for a new quill Sean.

When in February, Martin? :D
Simon
I will say at the end of the February if that seems OK?
martin :)
I'll probably still get distracted and fail, but you have given me a clear deadline Martin - thanks!
Simon
We will just ride down into the valley. There are only a few indians there.
martin :)
Martin has submitted the first article for MILL 21.
End of feb 2025
martin :)
Well done, Martin. You must be an over-achiever :)
Simon
My ink well is full, the quill is sharpened and my thinking cap is poised.
There are lost of RFCM rules going on, but a quick gamette can be done for the April MILL.

Ambulance racing? :)
Simon
Reading about that ambulance, one report said one of them conveyed over 20 patients with others riding on the outside. There must be a game that could be made out of that 🤔
I think an Ice Cold In Alex game would be in order. Get your ambulance from Tobruk to Alexandria whilst avoiding the DAK, Luftwaffe, pushing it up sand dunes, punctures, quicksand and spies.
John
I like that, John.
And the final turn has to involve downing a chilled pint of lager without spilling any?
Simon
That way the games get more challenging as the evening progresses!
John
I think we're onto a winner here, John?
Simon
Having missed the deadline last time around, I have just submitted my offering for The 15 Mill #21.
Simon
I ve done an article, which young Simon is correcting for me, about Monte Cassino table/game.
I was wondering if Martin could you put the rules for your (Melville) Battery game up for an article? As I never got to play it but would love to at some point?
Miles
We've now of course completed Monte Cassino and sent to Martin, Miles, with an AK47 one to follow shortly.
So, in the words of a certain Miss D Smith - let's be havin' you! :D
Simon
A very good article Miles and Simon. Other members can send in articles too.
Maybe 9 or 10 words and a photo is an achievable target?
martin :)
I will try and get something done on 15mm Italian buildings for issue 22. No time at present with imminent visitors from the UK and Dutch language activities piling up.
Sean has put in an article.
Maybe someone will submit an AI created article/picture. Just type in "an essay about 15mm wargaming"?
martin :)
I ve got to get some pictures done for the AK47 article, to send to Simon.
That will be another one then.

15mm Wargaming with Peter Pig Figures
Introduction
Wargaming has long been a popular hobby for history enthusiasts and strategy game lovers alike.

3. Enhancing the Wargaming Experience with Peter Pig Figures
Peter Pig figures are not just about aesthetics; they also enhance the overall wargaming experience. The company's commitment to quality ensures that each figure is well-sculpted and durable, standing up to the rigors of frequent gameplay. Additionally, Peter Pig offers a variety of poses and accessories, allowing gamers to customize their armies and create dynamic battle scenes.
4. Painting and Customization
One of the joys of 15mm wargaming is painting and customizing the miniatures. Peter Pig figures are designed with painters in mind, featuring crisp details that make them a pleasure to paint. Whether you are a novice or an experienced painter, these figures provide a satisfying canvas for your artistic skills. Customization options, such as different heads and weapons, further enhance the personalization of your armies.
5. Community and Competitions
The 15mm wargaming community is vibrant and welcoming, with numerous clubs, forums, and competitions dedicated to the hobby. Peter Pig figures are often featured in these events, showcasing the creativity and dedication of wargamers. Participating in competitions and community events not only hones your skills but also connects you with fellow enthusiasts who share your passion.
Conclusion
15mm wargaming with Peter Pig figures offers a rich and rewarding experience for hobbyists. The combination of detailed miniatures, historical accuracy, and the joy of painting and customization makes it a standout choice in the wargaming world. Whether you are reenacting historical battles or creating your own scenarios, Peter Pig figures provide the tools to bring your wargaming visions to life.
