Re: Niche wars
For me it's the Winter War...
Plenty of figures available for that you'd think...
for Finns yes. Everyone seems to like the superhuman gallant Finns.
Russians in the appropriate helmets.... not so much from what I can find.

Re: Niche wars
Depends on your figure size. Copplestone Castings do Russians in Schlem caps in the Back of Beyond range, but it's 28mm.
Rules? You ask me what rules do I use. No, I don't do rules.

I'll go for obvious here - surely the Gateway cavalry are the lemmings of wargaming? When one runs, the rest just follow.World2dave wrote: ↑Sat Dec 18, 2021 11:08 am Lemmings?

Don't forget the 100-hour La Guerra del Futbol between Honduras and El Salvador in 1969.

The Indonesians had some Cavalier Mustangs for counter-insurgency operations. They may have seen active service in Timor L'este.

Should have been shot out of the sky by our Mirages.
The 100 hour futbol war is interesting air gaming, but the ground war was horribly one sided.
