I take your point regarding "easier to paint Front Rank" but Perry/Foundry being harder to paint, but "better models." I have found the same when painting models from differing manufacturers, but of the same period. Eg Perry Sudan Naval figures v's Copplestone. Copplestone were a joy to paint, Perry...

Perry and Foundry look absolutely spiffing old chap and I am sure they will mix readily - but with Front Rank Infantry :?: :?: Where oh where do I get compatible infantry - without backpacks, and any ideas for French - or Spanish Marines :?: :?: Thinredline (progress is slow in the shipyards, but a ...

Gentlemen, While we are on the subject, I can see French and Spanish Artillerymen from Front Rank, Perry & Foundry, as you would expect, with & without backpacks. The guys without pak will be used to form Coastal Batteries / Garrison artillery crews I am trying to source preferably French Infantry -...

Another Squadron of "Inniskillen's arrived to bolster the Ranks of the "Heavy Brigade" curtesy of Phil, (along with a pound or two in weight of unpainted troopers) :D :D Duncan was asked his opinion of the painting standard, and the reply was "ACE, certainly better than your's dad " :shock: That'll ...

What are these boats you are talking about? They are "SHIPS" man - "SHIPS". Boats are something that you carry on the deck of a "SHIP" Of course you can always go for boats if you like, but you will be outgunned, outmanned and outranged in your "Boats" The phrase"blown out of the water" comes readil...

So it is! And my brother's, and my grandfather's and his father's before him. Good strong Scots name :lol: Ships 3 & 4 will be the "HMS Agamemnon" and "HMS Britannia", making an A.B,C,D for the squadron. "HMS Bounty" will be "HMS Bounty" of course :shock: - a lightly armed research Ship. Now who mak...

Gentlemen, Their Lordships of the Admiralty are pleased to announce the recent launch of two Frigates to join His Brittanic Majesties Navy for service in foreign climes. (Well, for the express duties of the extermination of Pirates, Rebellious Colonialists, and that damned Frog Napoleon and his Repu...

Amazing how one manages to "miss" things, must be old age creeping up on me. Sadly, as you will recall from last weekends action, the said recruits were confined to barracks. Something to do with being replaced by an armoured car. Well, that's what they call progress! The acquisition of more field a...

Can we establish within a fifty year period, of when this scenario is supposed to take place - it matters as to what troop types if nothing else let alone the ships, cannon and technology available. I really don't want to see a U-boat surfacing and torpedoeing my 19th Century (circa 1805) Frigate, n...

I suppose the eccentricities, downright ineptitude and sheer brilliance (of a limited few) of some predominantly British Commanders can be adequately covered by Command ability dice at the outset, and a distinctive flavour to the wild cards at each turn :idea: I should hate to see Lord Raglan order ...

Given the success of your Napoleonic Rules with the L.OG.W., and the likelihood we will be gaming Crimean action at some point in the not too distant future, I would propose that we use these rules for that period of warfare. Would you change anything in particular, or jst go with the rules as is :?...

I take exception to being described as "drug crazed". You should know from the rules that we Russians (White) are allowed copious amounts of VODKA :shock: Needless to say your eyes would be bulging red and your manner one of drunken stupefication given the quantities Vodka my troops imbibed. Who nee...

No sir, you are mistaken, The Japs and Ming presented Yuri with a Royal Flush and asked him to mediate as an honest broker. This is what he did. Ask the umpires, Ming and the Japs. You insult my integrity sir, and will be called upon in future to answer for your contemptuous remarks. You may recall ...

AAAAAAH BUTTT ! There is no capital in being an honest gentleman in this game. :evil: As his progenitors, the good Count Yuri remonstrated in front of the foe, to be sniped at and GASSED, MACHINE GUNNED AND GENERALLY EXTERMINATED in front of a cowardly foe. :shock: At least I may commend the great G...

David, As Dave says, the Brits did'nt manage the village, something to do with Dave taking over from you, gassing my guys in the field, back stabbing them as they attacked the Chinese - but hey - wait till the next one, I have the general drift of what can be accomplished with what (thanks to Mssrs ...
