John Ray’s Fulda Campaign

John Ray is a wargamer, figure designer and sculptor of considerable standing, as many in the hobby will know.

His 18th century collection is one of the finest in the world in terms of quality, uniqueness (the majority of the figures are John’s own designs), and quantity.

And so it is with enormous pleasure that this section of the site is handed over to John to display some of his “alternative history” Fulda campaign.
