Title: Atlantis and South America.
Post by: warbeads on 15 March 2010, 01:19:20 AM

Okay, I'm tempted to try some Brazil/Argentina Aeronef battles over Atlantis.  But what would be suggested for ground troops/targets in 2 mm format.  I know Brigade Models has some obviously but anyone else?

Gracias,

Glenn

No they are supposed to be on there but i've never found them myself.  The way the website is laid out is terrible at best.

2mm?

I'd opt for coffee grounds. Pilão is a popular brand in Brazil, will lend extra authenticity.  :D

Yes, the website is awful, but it's all there. Just 'phone them up.

(click the '2mm' link at the bottom left hand corner)
Dirt cheap, too, and pretty good quality.

Have a look here for photos of their 2mm ranges;

I'm struggling to understand what you find hard to find?

Just go on their site, click 2mm and it's all there, under horse and musket...

horse and musket = VSF/Colonial wars?   ???

Okay, I see them now  8)  but that was not something I would have intuitively connected, to be honest.   :o 

Too subtle for my IQ I guess.   lol   ;)

Much appreciation for the directions.   :)

Now you've found them, are you coming to Atlantis then? It would be excellent if you could, the British, French and Germans have been pretty busy over the Lost Continent but other nations have been slower off the mark. Would be nice to see some other flags!

Sorry mate, yeah tbh, horse and musket at that scale, I don't think anyone will moan that the buttons were different and the style of facing and lace-work!  :D

Brilliant range though.  :D

Could even get away with using arabs, dinosaurs and stuff as atlanteans!!!  ;D

No problem, though I know a few who might...   lol

Now, just to figure the best way to get an order across the pond to the states...

If it helps, Eureka stocks them. Australia and America are almost the same place, right?
