I'd take the easy option of getting Andy to buy some, but a man needs a challenge.
Ain't gonna happen big boy. The way my eyes are behaving lately I'm giving serious consideration to knocking 28mm on the head.
Rules? You ask me what rules do I use. No, I don't do rules.

Already tried Iain. The main pull for me is 50p a figure and a quid for mounted. Very tempted by either ACW or Russio-Japanese. I need more figure like another mouth to mop the sick from at the minute but having just got Charge or How to Play wargames my old skool mojo is whirring away.

Would also recommend Mexican Adventure range. Lovely figures, interesting variety - Belgian and Egyptian infantry, FFL FFS, and you don't need many to get started. Separate backpacks for the French give you even more variety

Well, I'm just hoping none of you other buggers are bidding on a copy of Charge on eBay I spotted this morning. Bidding started at 99p. One of you lot is bound to push it into the stratosphere...

Went to the FLGS, they supposedly had restocked the Oathmark Dwarf Infantry, but had sold out, so glue, Tamiya flesh colour for the airbrushing of German tribesmen, the Renedra wooden hut, the EM4 plastic spaceships, and then I eBay purchased some Flintloque dwarf Landwehr for Dwarfcember.. :)

6 French Chasseurs by Irregular and 4 Life Guards by Little Britons, all 42mm unpainted yet to be shiny. Bargain for £30 in total from ebay this afternoon. Need to get two more Life Guards now, may head swap and use as Dragoons yet.

My Flintloque Dwarf Landwehr arrived today.. so I am all set for Dwarfcember, and I rather like them. Tons of character. The hands are HUGE though..
