Afriboria:
The
colonial gaming section of 'The Antwerp Fusilers' gaming club. Home
of the 'Flemish Fast Play' (FFP) set of colonial rules, which I
really like.
Alex's Flags:
A useful
addition to the Warflag web site.
Baker Street LA:
Sherlockian Site (C'mon, it's Victorian)
Documents
of the Boxer Rebellion (China Relief Expedition), 1900-1901
From
the Department of the Navy 'Navy Historical Center' Stuff on the
US Navy's involvement in the Boxer Rebellion.
Boxer
Rebellion: KRIEG
IN CHINA, in German with a translation button into English and French.
Some fascinating period images from German rather than the usual
English sources.
Captaine
Ouest LeBoeuf The
'gaming portion' of one of our member's personal web site.
Crescent Root Studio: The best 'Middle
Crescent Moon Studio:
The best 'Middle Eastern'
buildings that we've ever seen, and excellent for the Mexican Revolution
too!
The Colonial Angle:
Yet another fine Colonial site. (Look at those buildings)
Di Imperatoribus Romanis:
The
Encyclopedia of the Roman Emperors. Pay particular attention to
the 'Battle Index.'
Historical
Hobbies: Yet another member's excellent game related
site. And it even sells Vallejo paints.
Historic
Tall Ship Replicas: A Germans site specializing in
the building of replica ships. Very useful if you want an all round
view of a boat that you're trying to scratch build in say 28mm.
HMS
Falcon:
A magnificent collection of photographs documenting Royal Navy riverine
gunboats in China.
The
Hong Kong Society of Wargamers: Another suitable
outpost in the (former) empire of Wargame Weenies around the world.
Imperial
German History: A rather generic name for a very
comprehensive German web site. But first you must scroll down to
the 'translation' button. When you click on the translation
button you'll automatically enter the site, but in English instead
of German. There is information and images pertaining to Germany's
place in European History, a wealth of information on the Imperial
Fleet, and some great stuff on the 'Protected Areas.' (Germany's
colonies)
John
Jenkins Designs: Colonial river craft, ancient Chinese
(perfect for DBM), and some spectacular 'Horror' figures. Also an
excellent line of 54mm Seven Years War figures,which the sculptor
claims are 'toy soldiers,' but that seem a bit too detailed to be
lumped into that category.
Legio
VI: A Roman Reenactor group that specializes in tramping
about the hills around the city of Los Angeles, California.
India
Wargamers: Very professional, not like the usual
slap dash stuff we do, and it's only fitting that a Colonial Gaming
Site such as this should have some sort of minor connection to the
sub continent.
Major
Tremordan Rederring's Colonial-era Wargame Page:
A very comprehensive Colonial site.
The
Melik Society:
The aim of the Melik Society is to advance public awareness
of Anglo-Sudanese history in the period 1883-1899 and subsequently,
through the restoration and preservation of the river gunboat Melik
and the paddle steamer Bordein
Painting
Scottish Tartans/Kilts and Bonnets: A helpful step-by-step
approach.
Paper
Building Models: Mostly European and Middle
Ages, but still good stuff.
The
Paper Shipwright: So if you
want to build ships, but don't'want to spend boatloads of money,
you'd get them made out of paper, right?
The
Pefect Captain: Offering
wargame rules, for a very broad range of periods, with very high
'production values.' The RED ACTIONS rules for the Russian Civil
War are a must read.
Prescott
of the Stratosphere Rangers:
A 'Movie Serial' version of a Late 19th early 20th century
adventure character created by a Hollywood CGI Efx company.
The
Red Dragon's Revenge: Colonel Winky (1st on the right)
as the Governor of Jamaica with his best friend who built a pirate
ship in the back garden, 30 miles from the nearest ocean.
The
Red Shadow: Colonial
Adventure Wargaming in Africa 1880-1920
The
'Rorkes Drift' web site: Just what it says.
The
Russo-Japanese War Research Society: Scholarly
articles, good History, less photos than an addicted gamer would
like to see.
Sierra
Madre Games: Nifty board games, with some great stuff
on the Mexican Revolution
Soldiers
of the Queen:
Photos and postcards from Britain's colonial empire.
Tapas,
Tierra y Libertad: A Spanish Civil War Party
- an excuse for a barbecue with a Spanish menu, and everyone came
as a Loyalist, because those costumes were easier.
Tricorne:
A spectacular French site devoted to the French armies of the 18th
century. Absolutely beautiful figures.
Time
Design: A
series of replica ships. In this case I think that
replica means a working model in slightly less than 1 to 1 scale.
Should be very useful for those thinking about scratch building
some boats.
Uniforms
of the Imperial German Colonial Forces: 1914-1918
a good overview.
The
Universal General:
'European Branch' of the club, under the command of 'Baron Eduard
Geudens de Saint Gillis'
Vexillologie
militaire européenne: A
European flag sited, 'en Francais,' from 1700 to 1914.
The
Vinkhuijzen collection of military uniforms (Prints):A
truly impressive collection of uniform prints organized by nationality
and then tme period.
Warflag:
The justly renowned Flags for Wargames web site.
Wargames
Journal:
We really should include the site, as we use it to create some of
the historical scenarios we run.
