Maxim Number One: Buy the Right Maxim
« on: January 18, 2021, 04:46:00 PM »
"What do you mean I can't play with it. It's my army."

As I'm working on my project for the Russian-Anglo war in Central Asia and the British Raj using The Men Who Would be Kings, I envisioned it taking place in my fictional universe sometime between 1895 and 1905 to give me the maximum use of figures that I like for the game. As I mentioned earlier, I am not an expert on the Imperial Russian Army of this time frame and guess what? I bought the wrong Russian Maxim machine gun.

I wouldn’t worry about - I didn’t know that that model was a 1910 one, to me it is the classic Russian maxim gun.

Looks great to me.
Just say you went for the 'Hollywood version.' ;)

Marine0846 and fred,
I agree whole-heartedly and thanks. Thought the laziness did play a part!
