We've just expanded our 1914 World War I range in 15mm scale with the British Expeditionary Force, a small army but a well-trained and mostly modern-thinking one which made all the difference in that fateful year.
We have seven codes for these, more than any other range so far --that due to the fact that the British Army's regulation requiring that moustaches be worn was greatly disliked, and, as images from 1914 make clear, at times disregarded even amongst the professional forces of the "Old Contemptibles" (as the handful of survivors of those cataclysmic battles would call themselves).
To permit the gamer to field his forces as per regulation, or to mix in men without the "dot and dash," we have done two variants of each pack of ratings, one with moustaches and one without.
