Just launched on Kickstarter: the Modular Arabic Shrine, which combines the experience of Oshiro Model Terrain (@OSHIROmodels) in producing quality miniature terrain with the historical and game design expertise of the H&G Lab of the university! Link here: tinyurl.com/mashrine
To reach our funding goal of £500, we're offering three options:
• Simple Shrine for £25
• Enclosed Shrine for £40
• Extended Shrine for £55 (only 15 available total!)
Plus, every item in our KS can be bought piecemeal as an add-on, but only after selecting a pledge option.

In case you missed it the first time, highly recommend this interview with @Volko26 on @LegendaryTacti1.
One great line from Volko - "we haven't found the walls of the room yet" - meaning we don't know how big the wargame market could be.
