Up to platoon strength now with artillery and MG supports as well. Just got some Austria-Hungarians now so I may take a break and start on those.

That's cool, those of Paul Hicks are the best Austrians for me.
Find the choice between the normal infantry and the Tyrolean Landsturm super.
Look forward to more pictures.

Bolt Action for now. If the armies get bigger I would like to try brigade level games with say 20 figures to a battalion. Not sure what rules to use for that? If anyone has any ideas?

The Brigade Games Austro-Hungarians are really nice figures. It is just annoying they do a field gun but no crew for it.

I know I have those. I have bought the field gun as well. I am planning to use the mortar crew for the field gun. The range just lacks a field gun crew pack.

Those are lovely figures. I have a pile of them done up as POWs in Bolshevik service. Didn't know they were by the 'Master' though.
