I've been ploughing through my Russian Civil War Bolsheviks this week, Copplestone figures are truly my favourite figures, all are different and they are a joy to paint and cheap. I now have a significant force of infantry and cavalry with AC and artillery support, although the gunners are VBCW figures
Cossack type Cavalry - there will be some fancy cyrillic name
More Cavalry - not very verbose today
Infantry - see above for comment
Sailors, the guy in the hooped top was a bugger to paint
Hammerhead next weekend and I am putting my 1st show participation game. We had a try out this weekend to test to rules and speed of the game. It's a 1930's South Sea island game in the style of "Tales of the Gold Monkey" TV show from the 1980's - admit it you are all old enough to remember it and loved it.
Needed more jungle so got out the last of the clematis cuttings and the terrarium foliage and made more jungle
Finally a water buffalo
Scores on the doors
24 x 28mm inf = 120
15 x 28mm cavalry = 150
1 x 28mm water buffalo = 5
210 cubic inches of jungle = 20
Total 295
TTFN
Very nicely done sir! I like the terrain...I've seen a lot of jungle terrain being built lately. It seems to be in fashion!
There is an extra point for the flag bringing this up to a total of 296.
