Sorry, I'm behind the game with this next one, sigh.  As many of you will already know, the 2nd edition of Impetus (by Dadi & Piombo) was published earlier this year.  For a quick summary of the changes between the 1st and 2nd editions, follow this link.  For a brief look at a solo test play of the new rules (and some very nice pictures from the game) look here in the Miniature Addiction blog.

And one for the medievally nautical amongst us.  (Helloooo?)  Over at Paul's Bods, a look at  Zvezda's English Medieval Ship 'Thomas'.  Great looking model, made even more impressive by Paul's hand painted, heraldic sail.  Oh my.
