Me 262 vs P-51 Mustang

Me 262 vs P-51 Mustang

Arguably two of the finest fighters built during the course of World War II, the Me 262 and P-51 Mustang heralded new dawns in aircraft performance. Making its operational debut in the summer of 1944, and powered by the Jumo 004 jet engine, the Me 262 outclassed Allied planes in terms of speed and firepower ratio, offering a formidable punch with four 30 mm MK 108 nose-mounted cannons. However, in the P-51, fitted with the Rolls-Royce (Packard) Merlin engine and drop tanks, the USAAF finally had a fighter that had the ‘legs' to escort its heavy bombers deep into Reich airspace and back. If flown to its strengths, the P-51 was more than capable of taking on the feared Me 262 on an equal footing, despite the differences in power and top speed. Indeed, the Mustang proved to be the Luftwaffe fighter arm's nemesis. When the P-51D sortied over Germany from the summer of 1944 onwards, it shredded through the ill-trained and depleted Gruppen of the Luftwaffe's defence wings.

This book examines the two fighters in detail, exploring their history and development and containing accurate descriptions of the combats between the P-51 Mustang and the Me 262 in what were some of the most bitter and large-scale aerial actions fought over Europe in 1944-45.


British Amphibious Assault Ships

British Amphibious Assault Ships

Amphibious assault ships have been at the centre of nearly all of Britain's expeditionary campaigns since World War II, from the Suez crisis of 1956 to operations as far afield as Borneo (1963-66), the Falklands (1982), Sierra Leone (2000) and Iraq (2003).
In major operations such as Suez and the Falklands, the use of amphibious assault ships was essential to the military success of the campaigns. The Suez Crisis saw two of the Royal Navy's former light fleet carriers converted into 'commando carriers' to specialise in amphibious warfare. In the 1960s these were followed by the famous Fearless class ships - the first purpose-built amphibious assault ships in the Royal Navy. With an internal dock, headquarters capability, and multiple landing craft, these 'Landing Platform Docks' were built to project power around the world. When the Falklands were invaded, HMS Fearless was the key to the successful landing in San Carlos.
In the 1990s, a new generation was ordered: the helicopter carrier HMS Ocean and the Albion class LPDs. In recent years Ocean, Albion and Bulwark have been the largest fighting ships of the Royal Navy and have acted as the navy's flagships, as well as being perhaps the most versatile ships in the navy.

This title is an essential guide to British Amphibious Assault Ships across the decades, from the mighty Fearless to the modern Albion. Packed with full-colour illustrations, contemporary photography, and detailed analysis, this definitive work explores the history, development, and deployment of the Royal Navy's front line.


Ragnarok: The Vanir

Ragnarok: The Vanir

The Aesir are dead, and the Vanir, now uncontested in their divinity, come to claim what is left of the Nine Realms. The War Clans must oppose, or align with, these new foes.

Ragnarok: The Vanir features new Godsparks that War Clans may harness to combat the marauding Vanir, as well as new scenarios, monsters, and options to further develop players' campaigns.


Paleomythic

Paleomythic

Paleomythic is a roleplaying game of grim survival and mythical adventures in the land of Ancient Mu, a harsh prehistoric world full of mysterious ruins and temples to explore, huge and terrible creatures that roam and spread fear across the land, and nefarious mystics and sorcerers who plot dark schemes from the shadows. It is a world of biting cold winters, of people hunting and foraging to survive, and tribes that wage relentless war.

Taking on the roles of hunters, healers, warriors, soothsayers, and more, players will navigate a world of hostile tribes, otherworldly spirits, prehistoric beasts, and monstrous creatures lurking in the dark places of the world. Players have huge scope in sculpting the game experience that best suits them, whether it's a gritty survival story without a trace of the mystical or a tale of grand adventure and exploration in a mythic setting.


Desperate Sunset

Desperate Sunset

By the middle of 1944, Imperial Japan's armed forces were in an increasingly desperate situation. Its elite air corps had been wiped out over the Solomons in 1942-43, and its navy was a shadow of the force that had attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941. But the Japanese had one last, desperate, card to play.

The Japanese High Command decided that the way to inflict maximum damage on the superior enemy forces was to get the poorly trained Japanese pilots to crash their explosive-laden aircraft onto their target, essentially turning themselves into a guided missile. The kamikazes announced themselves in the immediate aftermath of the Leyte Gulf naval battles, sinking the USS St. Lo and damaging several other ships. The zenith of the kamikaze came in the battle of Okinawa, which included ten kikusui (Floating Chrysanthemum) operations which involved up to several hundred aircraft attacking the US fleet.

Fully illustrated throughout, Desperate Sunset examines the development and evolution of the kamikaze using first-hand accounts, combat reports and archived histories.


The Wright Flyers 1899–1916

The Wright Flyers 1899–1916

Orville and Wilbur Wright, two bicycle-making brothers from Dayton, Ohio, secured their place as the most famous names in aviation history when, on December 17, 1903, they made the first powered, controlled, and sustained heavier-than-air flight. But their success over the cold and windswept Carolina dunes that day has overshadowed their many other accomplishments before and after that historic flight. The Wrights' progression from theory to analysis to ground-testing components and wing shapes, and then to flight-testing kites, gliders, and their first powered aeroplane, marked the world's first successful ‘X-Plane' research and development programme. They established a template all subsequent aircraft have followed, one still relevant in the era of hypersonic flight and drone research.

This book traces the Wright Brothers' story, from their first success on that cold December day throughout their glory years to their eventual eclipse by other aviators. It explores in detail the process that lead them to their pioneering craft and their many subsequent achievements over the following years, and highlights their enduring importance in the age of modern flight.


Romance of the Perilous Land

Romance of the Perilous Land

Romance of the Perilous Land is a roleplaying game of magic and adventure set in the world of British folklore, from the stories of King Arthur to the wonderful regional tales told throughout this green and pleasant land. It is a world of romantic chivalry, but also of great danger, with ambitious kings, evil knights, and thieving brigands terrorising the land, while greedy giants, malevolent sorcerers, and water-dwelling knuckers lurk in the shadows. As valiant knights, mighty barbarians, subtle cunning folk, and more, the players are heroes, roaming the land to fight evil, right wrongs, and create their own legends.

December Update from Traders Galaxy

December Update from Traders Galaxy

December Update:

Hi All, just chillin out on Boxing Day, contemplating a pool swim.  Thought I would post up a little update for the New Year.

Models-

I hope to continue my drive for improved model quality in 2020. The first of these models will be the Beastlords. Not only are the Beastlords some of the best sculpts for Bot War they will also be produced in full resin. Not only that, i have managed to reduce the price of these models as well.

This greatly increases the value for you, my customers. More highly detailed quality models in resin for a slightly lower price.
In addition to this i have placed the Beastlords on preorder now. This will be available until the end of January only. As an incentive for your support, I am offering early pre-orders a significant discount over the rrp. The Beastlords will ship mid to late March.

I am hoping that the preorders for the all new Deceivers will land around february in a similar way for a late April release date.
Please note that the current characters, Siren, Terror, Panic, Dread, Sorrow and Anger will be updated with amazing new models.
These will be added to all new models - Ravenous, Avaricon, Malicon, Narcitron, 4 new cassettes, Sloth(working title name). These changes to the Deceivers will be a part of the background changes and i have already started to drop small short stories explaining in detail the events and characters in this change. There will be some casualties in the current range when this completes, however no characters will be written out of the game and the stat cards for any casualties will remain as a free 2nd ed downloadable resource on the website.

There are no plans to make existing Bot War models in resin at this stage.

Terrain-
Believe it or not, the amount of $$$ i have sunk into terrain has far exceeded anything else. However I still believe that terrain is a very important part of the Bot War brand. There are very few 1980s style 10mm terrain items out there. The city release pre-orders will all be fulfilled on time but I have taken the reluctant decision to halt sales of the buildings and return them back to development and production. This temporary set back will mean cheaper, easier to produce city buildings.

Other terrain items have also been developed already and production in resin will start soon.

Log cabin
Army barracks buildings
Military buildings
Army secret hangar
Power pylons and turbines

I also have been extensively investigating scale trees in green and snow as well as two possible new Bot War battlemats.

Accessories are also ready to hit the go button on. Tokens for in games effects like Blinded or Invisible as well as Clear bases of all Bot War sizes.

Next month-

Next month sees the delayed Builder and Destroyer orders shipped.

Also, the Buddy Bundle will be available as well. The Buddy Bundle will only be available in limited numbers for January so you need to get in quick.

The Beastlords are available through January with just 25 pre-orders of each available.

The exclusive for January is forked tongue however you will also get to choose any previous second ed exclusive for every $75 over the $150 threshold.

The exclusives available for January will be -

Broadsword two handed sword version
Rielse
Cadmia
Oleeta
Kamen
Scope - Deceiver duelist
Soniq
Basher - Trasher
Chopper exclusive version
Unreleased Deceiver Cassettes
Unreleased Valiant cassettes
Unreleased Valiant - “Bruce”
Unreleased Valiant - “AC”
Unreleased Valiant - “Squat”

I will try to get out pics of therenover the next week. This will be the last chance to get a few of these because of mould deterioration.

Caravan of the Italian General Messe from Pithead Miniatures

One of our customers requested a model of the Caravan of the Italian General Messe and although we do not make this version we converted the Montgomery Caravan back into its original form by mounting the body on the back of a Lancia truck, it certainly looks the part.

Just a heads up that the Builders have been delayed because of a print issue for Diggers right leg. I have been unable to source another printer for this because of the Christmas break. I want those customers to know that delivering your order is my top priority but unfortunately it wont ship until January. However when it does ship your order will include something extra for your inconvenience.

Thank you for your continued support.

Cheers, Anthony

P.S you should have all received emails as well informing you of the Builders delay.
