Title: 1898 - Our last men in the Philippines
Post by: traveller on 04 June 2017, 08:36:34 AM

Just watched this movie on Netflix. Great inspiration for gaming with the new 1898 range of figures. The movie seems to be a fair representation about the siege of Baler in 1898:

Just watched it last night on your recommendation,it was worth a watch,a little bit overlong for my taste , but ok none the less.What it did do was help me place the conflict in relation to these new minis from 1898.Must resist..must... :)

I also watched half of it last night.   The uniforms and equipment were great, good acting, but it really dragged and lost my interest.

It does drag a bit at one point, however, as this was a siege of over 330 days... I gave them a pass.

Great movie.
