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.
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
ReplyDeleteThey are splendid figures. The Danish are lovely. What rules do you use with your French?
DeleteWe use Rapid Fire. The organisation and weapon stats are in their Blitzkrieg Battlegroups book.
DeleteThe figures photographed by Mark are very nice - more temptation!
ReplyDeleteA few for a Portable Wargame would be too bad , would it?
DeleteHa ha! That is exactly the sort of thing I say to myself!!
DeleteYou won't be disappointed ... beautifully sculpted 20mm metal Wargames figures. Proper grown up Wargames figures.
ReplyDelete(Right now off to hack up some penny dreadaful Pound Store plastics ...)
I look forward to seeing the fruits of your hacking...
ReplyDeleteEWM look very good, thanks for highlighting them! And Bad Squiddo too, I heard Annie interviewed on Woman's Hour, surely a first..
ReplyDeleteI heard that too, she spoke well. EWM would fit well with your current gaming...
Deleteyes I was thinking that about EWM, I see they do Italians, which could be very useful!
