Recently I have been taking an interest in the doings of my local regiment during the Great War

Presumably, your more famous regiment will appear for modern games, nice pages, though.

Thankyou for sharing this wonderful story to the folks.

That's okay, Helen. We don't all have to respond to every thread. Our forum would be pretty congested if we all did!  :)


Glad you liked it. I thought it might be your cup of tea.

Plynkes, my dear, a couple of questions if I may:

The dingies in the landing picture, are they Zvezda or some other brand?

Which company makes the officer with the sabre?

The boats were from Ainsty, now owned by Old Crow. They were from the "Trader" range, but looking on the website they don't seem to be available in the form that I bought them any longer. They appear to have metamorphosed into 2602 Small Boat with Mast. The boat looks the same, except mine came without a mast. I guess you could just leave the mast off.

The officer chap is from Great War Miniatures, their early war BEF range. Unlike most of the British figures, he was painted up as he comes straight out of the box, no head-swapping or other converting shenanigans.

Will do.

Masai and other tribal Africans, plus pointy-hatted Germans are taking their turn this week. Hopefully back to the tropical Brits and Turks next week.
