The Loose Association of Wargamers

A full account of the little known Battle of Bugerov features over on my blog for anyone who enjoys an AAR.and a look at someone else's toys.

The figures are wonderful but I also like the "incidentals"- the pig sty etc.

Looks like the sort of game anyone would love to play.

The Cameron Highlanders are completed and mustered into GHQ. More of course over on my blog.

Very smart looking Scots.

Yes, more excellent work, Mr P.

Not a period I really know much about (other than bones from the battles being transported back to England to be crushed as fertiliser)...but some really nice paintjobs on those Highlanders

Same here, Paul. All I know is that Errol Flynn was involved, somehow. But they are lovely figures that Penda's churning out..

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 wee bit far-fetched - especially as it must have involved a 180-degree turn.....

Thanks for the positive encouragement folks, it helps keep my focus, especially painting Roosians! If any readers would like to pop over to the blog there is Part 1 of a review of progress on the Crimean War project. Thanks.

It used to be on (what seemed to be) every 2nd Sunday afternoon, when I was a kid, and was a great persuader to go outside and get into trouble- I mean play. All I remember is that the movie starred his moustache and a couple of horses. Some of Penda's figures show more personality than the Really Upimself Taswegian, too.
