This summer Little Wars TV made the journey across the Atlantic to visit the UK for a week of gaming, museums, and historical tours. En route to the "Joy of Six" show in Sheffield, we stopped by Nottingham for a visit with the Perry brothers. It was an absolute blast to spend several hours with Alan and Michael Perry, two legends of the miniature tabletop hobby!
Alan and Michael are world-class miniature sculptors, and whether you enjoy historical or fantasy gaming, there's a good chance you've painted or played with figures they hand-sculpted. Today we're stealing a glimpse inside Alan's game room and chatting about what they like to play at home, what's coming next for Perry Miniatures, and much more. If you're looking for your next 28mm historical project or you want to check out their FREE new Napoleonic game rules, visit them here:

Next week we’ll be back to review their latest game, “Valour & Fortitude,” co-authored by Jervis Johnson.

@elliotlane3225 Год назад

Bet the Littlewars TV gang were like kids in a candy store to get in there to see the games room. Must be something else to sculpt and paint your own armies. Each piece looked exquisite.

@LittleWarsTV Год назад

"Kid in a candy store" sums it up pretty well! Everywhere you looked, there was something to see. And the Perrys have so much history in the hobby and lots of fun stories to tell. The whole afternoon flew by before we knew it!

It's too bad you couldn't get a game in with the twins, Rick, and Jervis. I would've liked to have seen a Black Powder game with all of you in it. I would've been "fanboying" over here, seeing both my idols of today clash with my idols of the past. 😆 Otherwise, it was still a great video! 👏 👏 👏

I met them at The Great Game in Glasgow. They were standing beside my Hanoverian Brigade talking to Tony Pollard and I kind of excused myself to pretend to adjust one of my units and they turned to look at them. I got talking to them and pointed out that no one makes a Hanoverian Infantry Bulger with a Belgic Sako for Kielmansegges Bde and took the opportunity to ask them "would you mind adding one to your range" To date they havn't added one to their range :)

It's nice to see the hobby of Wargaming still going .... Memories of Airfix figures in the 1960's and books by Donald Featherstone for me - making up my own rules etc. A trip to the fledgling RAAC Museum at Puckapunyal saw a change to WW2 Desert Campaign 1940-1942..... Most entertaining

The oldest in Nottingham is most likely Ye old Salutation Inn. During the English Civil War, Parliament used the nearby churchtower at St Nics as a battery for a cannon to bombard the castle. I believe there is a record from them of the Inn being there. Ye Old Trip dates to about a century later.
