Captain D, thanks for asking George, I suspect one of my Resistance Lewis gunners or the forthcoming Aussie Hone Guard from Eureka will provide me with a figure for that. Looking at the pics, I think I met George either at Cancon or Little Wars Adelaide some years back.

Turkey Shoot appears to be OOP but I suspect FFoL might be appropriate.

I was thinking of a Stutz Bearcat for the vehicle although a Corgi Crossley might do for the bus.

I have 5 or 6 Emus in my collection but I think I need more and I might need a couple of Emu General Emus as well. Any suggestions for sources (plastic acceptable for herd)?
Cheers,
Poiter50

Hey Poiter50, yes George has been to those events!

Re the Salmson I haven’t found one around with the boat tail design I’d think a Bugatti boat tail speedster may be an okay substitute and the Model of Yesteryear Crossley would make a good ‘old bus’.

I’ve PMed you.

Cheers!

One of the great, forgotten campaigns of Australian history. That there isn't a memorial and display commemorating this at the AWM is a crime.

Also, that's one of the great gaming tables of Australian history!  :-*
Operating from an abandoned US spy base somewhere in the Australian outback, Miniature Martin produces games and scale miniatures set in parallel worlds, past and future. He is NOT trying to take over the Earth. This time.

I'd never heard of this war either ("Emu Wars...how the Australian Army took on some flightless birds and lost")!
Congrats on the concept and a great looking table. If you get the chance to post your rules on your blog, could be jolly useful for all kinds of 'animal' type games.
