Foot are Airfix Romans & Britons, mounted are (I think) Hat, but I'm not sure. Bases are 60mm frontage, 40 deep for foot, 50 deep for mounted, skirmishers (pissoili or something), And CinC. We'll do a very DBAish set of rules for them soon. So far, about 30 bases a side, there's about half as much again still to do.
Really good
Which make are the Nuns then?

I can still remember asking for it in Boots, and being told they had coconut oil, and would that do?*

(*Spoiler alert, no it doesn't, though it does make your figures redolent of distant sun-kissed beaches, or Bounty bars)

Liking those muchly, the Romans and Ancient Britons were my favourite of the Airfix sets. Although I never cottoned onto multi-basing at the time so spent a lot of battle-time setting individual figures upright again.
I get lockdown, but I get up again.

Peeler is leagues ahead of his time. Currently he’s ranking up there with guys in the early 80’s!
