And when you say ‘units of 6-12’, how many units?

Well, its entirely up to you. I only plan on a couple of opperational units to begin with.

Good choice on the Indians Buff, I'm leaning towards the AIP British in steel helmets, purely for the officer. Could you use your screw gun for 42mm? On ebay you can get battle boxes with a few poses from opposing sides that are good value.

I really must not get any more 42mm artillery. I'm currently at three 13/18 ldr guns, a couple of larger guns and a 4.7" naval gun.

I have a cunning plan for gun crew, Airfix Japanese with the knee mortar. Lose the mortar, swap the head, job done. Anyone want a spare screw gun?

Brit gun crew aplenty in the airfix ‘support group’ set.

I gather people are leaning toward the earlier end of this “WWI - 1960” bracket, then?

Well AIP cut off after 1918 and I already have British & Yanks for WWII.

I was thinking of doing the 1940-1960 end of that, as I have loads of stuff already painted and game ready, but I could also cover the 1900-1914 end of it as well, and it wouldn't cost me an extra peso. Although obviously I shall add a few exotic bits and some characters natch.

How many figures roughly do you need for this ?

Oh Simon, when is it ever about "need?" Depends on what rules you choose? If Laserblade 6 a side will do you.

Free your minds from unit numbers, organisation, basing frontages and embrace toy soldiers.

Don't get caught up on period. Again if you're using Laserblade it's the character that matters and you can consider weapons to be the same. You'll have snipers, auto weapons, heavy weapons etc.. The rules can adapt.

I'll probably go for the latter end with my stuff as I have plenty of Airfix WWII and 1960's with vehicles too.

Tim, you seem to be sweeping Goat's concerns under the Kanban.
