New Introductory booklet Hungary 1848-49
Chris Pringle has kindly written some words (8 pages of A5 with pics) as an introduction to Hungarian War of Independence 1848 -49. It is available for free as a PDF download here on the Keelmen site (and hopefully on this blog) and as a printed booklet at shows I attend. It includes some managable introductory army lists. Im plowing on with sculpting/tinkering for HW1848-49 and have 18 new codes going into a mould this week (Mainly National guard variations and a few more Grenz including a drummer) Im working on Hussar heads which can be used on Perry Napoleonic Austrian Hussar (Plastic boxed set) After that im onto peasents/partizans/irregulars …. phew.

First trip out for Keelmen (and the terrain in a suitcase diplay). A mini stall at Border Reivers Show 2022. Went ok and a good chance to think about what to change for future stalls. Thanks to Guy, Paul and Grahamfor their help.
Now I need to get the Jacobites and Border Reiver stuff onto the website asap.
1808 Spanish Guerrillas
Usefull books from my reading lists which, a ong with Marbot, informed some of the Jim Bowen sculpts alterations and additions I made . All very readable
1715 Riot Act
“An act for preventing tumults and riotous assemblies, and for the more speedy and effectual punishing the rioters. Whereas of late many rebellious riots and tumults have been in divers parts of this kingdom, to the disturbance of the publick peace, and the endangering of his Majesty’s person and government, and the same are yet continued and fomented by persons disaffected to his Majesty, presuming so to do, for that the punishments provided by the laws now in being are not adequate to such heinous offences” *
Introduced and passed in 1714 came into effect 1st August 1715.
