Title: Hinterland Schutztruppen for VSF
Post by: Froggy the Great on March 24, 2016, 03:45:28 AM: Hinterland Miniatures' Schutztruppen, here painted as Australian Free Martian Company, Women's Division.
...or at least, that's what they claim.

Yeah. That's why. Of course. And now I know more uniform factoids.

Part of Free Company also means freedom to turn up their hats where they please.

...yeah.

PS Poiter50 wasn't having a go at you - just seemed like you thought this unit was wearing a historically incorrect VSF uniform. But you were being helpful.

I cheerfully admit my ignorance of many matters - no offense taken or intended.

And thank you!

I was apologising to Poiter50.

Anyway, the Martian Quandaries are nice conversions too.
