I gave my one test box of Strelets to EB as I went off the idea.... Are you painting them as Imagies?
Should've mentioned, EB very kindly supplied me with metal flag bearers, and your box if Strelets. They'll be imagish, I think. Having looked, the Strelets claim to be 24mm too, do they won't stand out too much anyway. Might just paint them as the box art. Or not.
Stuck in another order for Eureka SYW French and Prussians.
On a sadder note, a chap from the club is suffering from dementia brought on by Parkinson's, so has decided to sell his book collection. So I went down to his place today, had a good chat and came away with three carrier-bags full; some really useful books, some Ospreys to replace ones I'd foolishly loaned and some books purely for the nostalgia value (Peter Gilder's 'Leipzig 1813' book for Osprey, Henri Lachouque's 'Waterloo' & Funcken's 'Lace Wars' vols 1 & 2 being the stars of the show) and a small Avalon Hill Waterloo boardgame I'd not seen before. If anyone's in West Wales and wants to have a browse, drop me a PM and I'll put you in touch.
That's a real shame to hear. Glad those books have gone to a good home, as it's one of my fears; that when I drop off the twig it would be a shame to see all the collections just be dumped.
I've been purchasing bits and pieces, Early Saxons from Warlord Games formerly the Saxon Games range, plus transfers from LBMS (yet to arrive), to finish my Sub-Roman British.
Wargames dreams never die, they just get left in a box.
