The Post Office Rifles & Volunteer Unit Generator
« on: May 26, 2015, 11:56:40 AM »




I've been messing around with some Colonials of late - mainly because I should be working on my Napoleonic project, but the innate perversity of the wargamer asserts itself.

I had some HAT German Colonials that I didn't really want to use as advertised, so I've trimmed some of the more military kit from them and painted them as a sort of volunteer rifles unit, but that could also be used as African explorers.

You can find a bit more about them here.

I called them the Post Office Rifles, but a chum pointed out that any unit called "Utility+Location+Military Formation" is a unit that one could be justly proud of.  With that in mind, I offer the Victorian Volunteer Regiment Name Generator.

Simply click on the link to open the door to a galaxy of unlikely regiments.
