Post by: AKULA on July 16, 2009, 06:36:06 PM: Thanks guys.

Was really pleased with how the assaultos fitted in with the musketeer minis (helps that they were sculpted by Paul Hicks as well) - have got another couple of dozen on the paint table....

...and before anyone starts banging on about symbols, i'd like to go on record to say that the armband is quite clearly an "s", that stands for shock troops....

:)

You're safe there... just don't anyone go for abbreviating 'shock soldiers' on their armbands ;)

Post by: Arlequín on January 05, 2010, 08:04:24 AM: It's like a rule or something, that the bad guys have to be the best dressed, otherwise nobody would be on their side. You'll find it's a historical constant. :D
Title: Re: BUF Legion (British Civil War)
Post by: AKULA on January 05, 2010, 09:23:34 AM: Think of it like a western - the bads guys wear black, so everyone knows who they are.

Title: Re: BUF Legion (British Civil War)
Post by: The Hooded Claw on March 22, 2010, 12:25:29 AM: Commisar Moody,

It was suggested to me, recently, that if I wanted to get Americans into a game like BCW that I should suggest doing something similar on US soil with an inter-war 2nd ACW. Suggest this and see if that motivates your crew? You might just get some Rebel or Yankee spirits boiling at the concept of being able to slap a Confederate flag on the side of US panel trucks and such.
