The Mexican Soldier

The Mexican Soldier (back cover)

The Mexican Soldier, 1837-1847

Now Available!

The Subscription having closed on April 30, with sales equaling those of the highly successful Mahdist Wars Source Book , the latest addition to TVAG's growing catalog of rules and books can now be ordered directly from the Rules & Books Page.

With many newly colorized uniform plates, and three pages of Mexican Army Flags in full color, this book is an invaluable resource for wargamers, re-enactors, sculptors, painters, and historians alike!

The Old Boy's Current Featured Product:

ON SALE!

Wargame Flags!

Until midnight, May 31 (Central Time), buy ANY flag Set--or whole Collection--and save 30% off the price!

Here is your chance to finally pick up Chris Ferree's unique, historical Flag designs for The Sikh and Mahratta Wars.  And here are Eric Cox's obsessively detailed designs  for the Tai-P'ings, Boxers, Chinese Pirates, and his exhaustive Mahdist Wars Collections.  Even the 25mm Naval Flags of the World Sets are included!

This is the first time any of these have been discounted before, and we're doing it partly to call attention to these products, but also to prepare for the release of the next addition, The Mexican War Flags Collection (at the end of May--we hope!).

So follow the link to the Flags Page and from there go and see for yourself what's already on hand.

Interested parties should make their orders directly to TVAG requesting your Sale Prices (because my Shopping Cart is cranky and doesn't like to be told what to do).

In Memoriam: Spyros Koumousis

With great personal sadness and loss, TVAG remembers Alphacast's creator who passed very suddenly on December 28, 2005. Still no final decisions have been communicated to us concerning any possible future for his business, and sales of all Alphacast products and services remain suspended. No stocks of any kind remain and none will be forthcoming for  the foreseeable future. Should it be possible for TVAG to arrange for the return of these wonderful figures and rules--if only as a living tribute to the amazingly talented man who created them--that information will be publicized here and in the usual forums.  In the meantime, we express our profound regrets to his surviving Mother and Sister, and hope they can take comfort in the knowledge that in Spyros' short life he made more friends and earned more respect and affection than most men could in a century.

Ave Atque Vale!
