In the Alpines once more

 The army of The Confederation has been on manoeuvres in the Alpines Region today-

The mountain artillery is deployed with their pack mules waiting patiently.
Bicyclists deploy amongst the rocky terrain amidst the flora.
Dismounted Confederation cavalry, with machine gun, dig in amongst the rocks.
Confederation infantry from the town of Thun march and counter march.
The pigeon handler , having fixed a message to one of the bird’s legs releases it into the mountain air.
General Rosti and his chaplain Fr Tilsiter survey the scene and converse with passing soldiers.

  2. Just the weather for it. Is the chaplain responsible for the sunshine?

  3. Hi Alan, love the set-up. Love the look of the uniforms. And absolute favourite is the pigeon handler. Which range of minis is these are they 28mm or Marks Little Soldiers as well? Thank you - Quinn

  4. They are all 54mm figures. I think they were Dorset Castings on the whole with some others. I too like the pigeon handler, indispensable in the high Alpines.
