I got the Anglican league guide yesterday and it's given me some ideas, so I'll probably grab the Northern sourcebook.  Vlad, I've PMed you about the possibility of gaming sometime.

Well, I know that Panzerkaput, the illustrator has been working on the artwork for a book on AFVs in VBCW, Simon's rules "Brigadier38" and has started on the "People's Armies" booklet, being a guide to the forces of the left. So lots to come. Glimpses here;

 2nd Royalist book in the works from what I understand.

 1st Royalist book was excellent!  Great fluff, good ideas on units.

This is to help promote both the release of the forth coming brigadier 38 rules and I wnated a new wallpaper for my PC. If you like this and want one please visit my blog at http://panzerkaput.blogspot.com/

Nice listings, but couldn't see any pictures.  How do they compare to Musketeer and Artizan?  Liking the idea of a Royal Gloucestershire Hussars unit..........

I would give UTB a ring or drop them an email.

I think the ranges are compatible, but better to check with them direct.
