Hello
dear friends never posted here before in Ancient LAF section cause it's not the period for which my knowledge is brilliant...but i like the period..
i was lucky to purchase a big lot of the old Atlantic 1/72 Greek Infantry which, i understand, could not be everyone cup of tea but for me, instead, they are very useful and sufficiently nice ...their bizarre poses and lack of a sufficient appropriate number of spear armed types make them, with some ingenuity, suitable for early italian warriors.. even if the they show some greek influence, with only a partial adoption of hoplite warfare tactics.,early italians where accoustumed to fight in loose formations, and armed with spears not long spears...being Italy BC , incuding my region Latium, a very rough country..plenty of mountains and forests...so those running or weird poses could be suitable to convert those toys in Latins, Volscians, Sabines, Aequians and even, at a stretch, into Servius Tullius Romans...
What i'm asking, please, is that if anybody could remenber and point me a nice blog, probably from a US wargamer, that had my same idea of which i remenber it showed some nice picts of full armies made completely out of those vintage plastic 1/72 Atlantic Greek infantry and cavalry and called them Apulians, Campanians, Latins, Brutae, Volscian ecc
Many thanks for your patience :-)
