Fabulous looking project Alan, great quality terrain and figures!

What rules will you use Force on Force? Or something else in mind?

Cheers
Matt

I really enjoyed the houses and buildings up on the hill sides.  Very cool.

I nearly skipped this as I don't do post mid war but really glad I didn't. Very very nice and all to such a high standard, absolutely marvelous indeed

Wow that looks great. How did you make the hills?

My buddy spike gave them to me, made of polystyrene and older than the world,he was getting rid of them and asked if i could do anything with them for this project,so i repainted over the ardennes green and added all the stones and grasses ,wasn`t my favourite job ,but slowly turned into something we both liked a lot.Cheers AL

Hi Matt i dug around for a while looking for something basic and simple and ended up with `Kremlin Miniatures ` Rules by the Neo Stalinist Reality Wargames Collective:

Red Scorpion - 20mm rules for Russians vs Afghans playtest version. We will chop them around a bit  but was just what i was after. Cheers AL

Lovely figures and horses , be carefull with the horses though  i had one snap off while i was wiping it with oil paint and one figure was missing out of the pack of two?

I have no set number of figures to game with so wasn`t a deal breaker , tried to paint them in neutral colours , hope you like them cheers AL

Hi Paul the two horses were there but only one figure,as happened i then snapped a horse so it evened out,i didn`t bother letting you know as i had no set amount to paint and it has been a year since i bought them. I know you would have corrected this if i had asked ,so sorry for moaning online. really enjoyed painting them and the infantry,almost as much as my WW2 late war Americans for the Ardennes.
Cheers Alan
