'Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain'...
« on: 27 September 2017, 09:18:29 AM »
King George commands and we obey. Over the hills and far away...
well, skirmishing in the outposts actually! The contestants are in the starting blocks ready to go. Sharpie's Chosen Men, them Portuguese brown jobs who's name I can't pronounce and a cloud of Voltijoors to take 'em all on. Problem is buildings, who makes Spanish/Portuguese,houses and wotnot in 25/28mm?

If you are on a mdf mood try these modular and cheap buildings from Warbases.
Really nice to transform and combine.

:o Sacrublur! No, sacrilege!!!  :o

Just gleaned these Voltijoors from evilbay, they've definitely marched in the 'grand manner' going by those old skool bases, sacrilege to rebase 'em but I need single figures... so thought I'd better immortalise them before the butchery begins!

Has.been and vodkafan very kindly sent me a set of the rules they use in their 'Over the Hills' skirmishes, they're excellent. Most of my cronies are very familiar with 'Song of Blades and Heroes'... what do you Wellingtonics fans think of 'Songs of drums and Shakos' as a skirmish set?

They're called Caca-doors. No, really.

 'Curryasars'. How ridiculous. It's pronounced queer-ass-ears, of course.

That's wot we called 'em as kids when we got in the model shop...

"Two boxes of Airfix Curryasars please."

Sad bit is, I've still got 'em nearly fifty years later!
