Game at Partizan

Hi. Here are a few photos of a game at the recent Partizan show. It  featured home made trenches and 1/72 plastic figures which look to be HaT with a few airfix thrown in. The game was using the Crush the Kaiser rules.

One year to go

With under a year to go until the centenary  I have started rationalising my thoughts on my figure collection.

Eastern Front 

I had originally thought of using 10mm figures for the Eastern Front and indeed had painted up a fair number of figures in this scale - particularly Austrians.  I however decided to get out some old Britannia German and mix of IT/Irregular 20mm Austrians and to use these instead.  I have started re basing these on 2 figure per on 30mm bases.  

I am going to use Russian plastic 1/72 figures from HAT and Zvezda for the Russians.   These provide a cheap way of getting a Russian army up and running.

Here are a couple of photos of some my first Russians based on 30mm bases
and some of old metal Austrian and German figures on new bases.
