about giving business to smaller figures companies. It made me think and I urge you to pop over and have a read.
I decided to support Early War Miniatures and buy a Platoon of Chasseurs Ardennais ( plus 47mm anti tank gun) for ww2 platoon gaming. I look forward to receiving them and painting them up.

  1. Great idea. EWM produces some interesting ranges. I've previously bought their early war French and I'm so tempted to get a small Danish Force. Cheers Greg

    1. They are splendid figures. The Danish are lovely. What rules do you use with your French?

    2. We use Rapid Fire. The organisation and weapon stats are in their Blitzkrieg Battlegroups book.

  2. The figures photographed by Mark are very nice - more temptation!

    1. I heard that too, she spoke well. EWM would fit well with your current gaming...
