I don't know, but I'd like one of those CGI castles in 28mm  :)
(Or even in 20mm  ;))

If it was a programme that allowed you to build a Castle, then 3D print it it would be great..it could Show the end cost as you go along, add a Tower another tenner , shorten a Tower it takes off a couple of quid, how much it would cost in whatever scale etc,  but as a stand alone game??
Now If it could be incorporated into a game like medieval Total war......:-D
I knew the truck didnīt want to hit me...it had dodge written on the front

OLDEST CANNONBALL FOUND IN UK.
For those who've missed this news, the oldest cannonball has been confirmed as a find at the Battle of Northampton (1460) site.
A great find and very important as recognition for the battlefield - local to me - which is at risk of development and is now hopefully on the cusp of some support, in form of inclusion in the development of Delapre Abbey buildings as tourist centre.
more here in the link. http://www.northamptonchron.co.uk/news/local/cannon-ball-found-on-battle-of-northampton-site-could-be-uk-s-oldest-1-6576603

Great news..... what is the situation with the developers at present? (Sorry, I haven't got time to read the article- I'll take a peek tomorrow).

Yep, a book that I'm likely to purchase just to see what the author has to say on the subject in detail.

BTW, if you can access C4od there's a great little drama dealing with the subject here:

Could the damage to the cannonball (itīs made of lead ) be from ploughing? Is or was the field where it was found ploughed?
