Re: Annual Show game - a problem

You're an Aussie, Dal. Do you really think most Brisvegans would have even have heard of the SYW much less recognise an incorrect uniform? True, mate, but I was thinking more of the hobby "uniformologists" that will be drawn to the show. I think back to the drawing board & pick anothe...

Re: Annual Show game - a problem

I know you prefer to have the right troops, Donald, but would a flag swap on your French be a viable alternative for the show? Most people won't even notice the slight differences in uniforms, such as lack of turnbacks, but they will notice the very different French flags.

Re: Penda's Crimean War Project

I vaguely recall seeing that film as a boy - my recollection is that Flynn led his regiment on a charge against Pathans on the N W Frontier and suddenly found himself assaulting Russian guns in the Crimea. I know the British cavalry could get a tad carried away, but even aged 8 or 9 it sounded a we...

Re: Grenadiers of the Kurköln Wildenstein

Another unusual regiment with a great taste in flags, Willz. Have they been blooded yet? Another respectable unit. (Were black bears out of season when their hats were "sourced"?) At a guess- black bear skin was imported and therefore expensive, having to come from Asia or North America. B...
