Well Ladies and Gentlemen, the manuscript for Sleeping Dragon, Rising Sun is now complete. The last company was despatched yesterday to Phil at Osprey and we await the final layout proofs.

What you may find interesting is that the word count for this volume is close to 30,000 words. That is 2,500 words longer than Heroes, Villain and Fiends, and  5,000 words longer than In Her Majesty’s Name.
There are seven companies from China, six from India, five from Japan and seven from those meddling Western powers. The westerners include Australian, German (not Prussian), American, Russian and British companies. Lord Curr features in one of the latter.
In the Armoury we have seven new weapons, six new forms of transport including an armed Junk and a Gunboat, and four new Mechanised Walkers.
There are nine new Talents and five Mystical Powers. Also we have included eight oriental landscapes and six scenario complicators. Three new mystical beasts round out the book, including the awesome Tibetan Yeti.
All in all this one shall be more packed with IHMN splendour than any that came before it.
We have really enjoyed writing this one and as we get closer to the publication date we shall reveal more of the details of this magnificent tome.

You know I really thought this wouldn't "do it for me" but with two adult daughters of East Indian heritage, "... six from India..."  I now might just have to buy this book (just to field two (Indian) "Indian" companies to go wiith my (American) "Indian" and the two "Mexican" Companies (just for my Tía) I could create from current miniatures.)  My daughters would     and     respectively.

Of course I don't have any (Indian) "Indian" miniatures...  but if I was selective...

Now for a team based on my French-Canadian wife...    Definitely    

And my mongrel Spanish/.../American self, what army would I produce to represent me?  Good question - I will think about that...

Gracias,

Glenn

Any with a Brass Elephant in it?

[Dewbakuk]

Not yet but I am really tempted. That's a bigger project though so it'll have to wait until other bits are done.

Me thinks that steam-powered Brass Elephants sounds like a good deal of fun! 
So the question is why should someone resist to them.

Does it come in 6 mm?     Actually, since I have a suitable set of 15 mm figures for IHMN,  I would settle for one in 15 mm.
