50K Giveaway

Right then! This morning we passed the magical 50,000 page views mark, thanks to Evman and his wonderful SAGA Scots. Plus of course all our wonderful blogosphere friends who pop by from time to time and whose companionship, comments and enthusiasm we absolutely cherish. This can of course only mean one thing... it's gratuitous blog whoring giveaway time!


The Rules
We've all been here before so I'll keep it quick. The giveaway starts NOW and runs for one week.

  1. Commenting on this post gets a chance in the prize draw. Just the one mind you, no spamming!
  2. Pimping our blog on your own (and providing proof in your comment) gets you an extra chance.
  3. If you are also a new follower from today onwards you get another chance in the prize draw.

Please remember when you comment to indicate WHICH prize you'd like to go into the draw to win. And that brings me to... the prizes.

Prize One
A wonderful tome which I've treasured for a looong time - an ex-libris copy of Don Featherstone's Wargame Campaigns. A cracking book, especially if you are a bit of an old-skool wargaming aficionado like myself. Given the age it's not in perfect nick but then neither am I and nobody is suggesting I'm fit for the scrap heap quite yet.


Prize Two
One fully panted and based Anglo-Saxon warlord for SAGA (or whatever else you care to use him for). He's sporting a rather fetching purple cloak and wearing a Sutton-Hoo style helmet. I can't remember the manufacturer unfortunately but its lovely sculpt and hopefully my efforts have done him justice.


Prize Three
One zip lock bag of unpainted lead. It contains approximately a dozen Harlequin Miniatures 28mm archers, including three very nice fantasy ranger types and a bunch of generic medieval/fantasy bowmen. No pic of these unfortunately.

So that's it. The giveaway is off and running. Get commenting!

PS. Thanks everyone for helping us reach a milestone and we hope you'll continue to support the blog!

Cheers,
Millsy (and the Crew)

    I'll stay out of the prize draw as I've had a few wins lately. On second thought, stick my name in for #3, but if I win give it to Anne :)
