  • Showcase LION’S LAST STAND Leonidas, Which Is Greek for “Lion’S Son” Or “Lion-Like,” Was Born Around 540 B.C., the Son of T Y King Anaxandrides II
    could be of a delicate nature, the Persian threat to their freedom led many Greeks to unite SC together in an alliance. TH AL While the Persians’ superior numbers /6 E eventually overran the Greeks, the defenders’ 1 sacrifice has never been forgotten. Monuments to both the Spartans and the Thespians can be found at Thermopylae today. The last stand at Thermopylae has also captured the popular imagination thanks to books like Steven Pressfield’s fictional “Gates of Fire.” Movies include 1962’s “The 300 Spartans,” starring Richard Egan as Leonidas; and 2006’s “300,” with Gerard Butler portraying the Greek commander. SHOWCASE LION’S LAST STAND Leonidas, which is Greek for “Lion’s son” or “Lion-like,” was born around 540 B.C., the son of T Y King Anaxandrides II. At this time Sparta had two H kings who shared in ruling the state. One leader would be a descendant of the Agiad dynasty, as E M was Leonidas, while the other would be a S R descendant of Eurypon in this twin monarchy. IXTH A Leonidas was married to Gorgo, the daughter of his half-brother King Cleomenes I. At some point between 490 and 488 B.C., Leonidas became King after his half-brother went mad and committed suicide. Scott J. Dummitt and Bill Thomas Leonidas faced a difficult decision as the Persian invasion of Greece developed. Spartan cover the latest action figure- law forbade him from leading the army out of the kingdom during a religious festival being held at the time. However, it would be unthinkable to not related items.

As such they present an 12 excellent case study for an analysis of war through non-military 13 narratives. This article examines a sample of sets and figures produced 14 during the ‘golden age’ of toy soldiers, so as to ascertain how these 15 16 artefacts related to military developments and what light they can shed 17 on societal responses to conflict in this period. The figures and sets under 18 discussion are drawn from the catalogues of the major British and 19 German manufacturers of the period and are contextualised by the 20 21 activities of the companies that produced them. This focus enables the 22 article to compare and contrast various approaches to these artefacts 23 and to conclude on how toy soldier production in this period became 24 embroiled in the wider political and military conflict between the British 25 and German empires.

Premièrement, j’ai toujours été fasciné par l’histoire militaire et l’armée en général. L’expression de puissance nationale et de dissuasion a quelque chose de mystique que je trouve fascinant, notamment dans son évolution à travers les âges. La Révolution française et le Premier Empire sont deux périodes que j’apprécie plus particulièrement. L’épopée impériale est pour moi une période faste et unique.

  • Edwardian Splendour
    Edwardian Splendour A KRIEGSPIEL FOR TOY SOLDIERS By Arofan Gregory. Copyright © 2006. All rights reserved. For my son, Calum, in the hope that he may someday play this game with me, and to his mother, Joanna, who will no doubt think the whole thing is silly but will let us do it anyway. If you have questions or comments, please contact Arofan Gregory by e-mail at [email protected]. 2 Introduction: Traditional toy soldiers possess a charm that is not duplicated by their smaller 15mm and 25mm brethren. No matter how many wargaming figures one collects, there is an attraction to the larger figures which remains un-sated. Whether you are talking about 42mm semi-rounds or the larger 54mm full-round figures, they possess an evocative quality that smaller figures lack. It is something which says “toy soldier” and reminds us that, no matter how complex our rules are, in the final analysis, miniature wargaming is still on some level “playing with toy soldiers.” At the same time, a miniatures wargamer needs a reason to collect armies – there must be a game to play, and it should simulate something historical, at some level, to capture the imagination. I am a miniatures wargamer first, and a collector of toy soldiers second: these rules represent my solution to the problem presented by this fusion of interests. This is a simple game for use with full-round and semi-round toy soldiers from 40mm to 54mm in height. Created in the spirit of H.G. Wells’ Little Wars, H.G. Dowdall’s Shambattle, and the kriegspiel games of that era, it represents combat during the late 19th/early 20th centuries, the periods for which traditional toy soldiers are often made.
