Konradin's Italian Campaign (1267 to 1268)

by Tillman Moritz, from Germany

Konradin's story is one about shortness, shortcomings as well, about youth and prematureness. He started too early, loosing his father in 1254 at the age of two, inheriting a lot of legal claims along with a lot of sworn enemies. And he ended too soon, becoming a mere puppet to political ambitions of both friend and foe, finally put to the sword in 1268 at the age of 16. So, actually, there is no story about Konradin. It's rather a story about his time, about politics and culture, about ideas and ideals and the change of these things in the 13th century.

I tinkered around with my crusaders, painted a few Spartans and even did some 40K figures… but no real „drive“ would develop. Then suddenly the postman delivered 2 packs of Perry figures which I had ordered because my friend Christopher got me into a Wars of the Roses Impetus experiment

Galatians calling!

by Monty, from the Twin Cities (USA)

The Galatians were a Celtic people who settled south of the Pontic kingdom on an upland plateau. They forced their way into the region, fighting a series of campaigns against the armies of the local states who all stubbornly refused to be driven from their lands. As a result, the Galatians were forced to settle on a poor stretch of land where none of their neighbors considered it worthwhile to force them off. The difficulty of their situation meant the Galatians were eager to work as mercenaries
