These look good - lots of interesting options, gee gees, naval infantry, workers!!

Still resisting - as already have far too many projects on the go. But it gets harder.

There's a nice article in this months Wargames Illustrated by LAFer Dan Mersey about using Mark's Little Soldiers in his own 4th Punic Wars setting, worth a read.

Makes it hard to resist - but as I said earlier, I need another scale like I need a hole in the head (which my wife would give me!).

Now, 'Best Laid Schemes of Mice O' Men' and all that, but Mr Copplestone himself is planning to bring Mark's Little Soldiers as a demo game to the Partizan Show Newark UK in May. if you're a fan, and are within travelling distance, come along. Mark'll be using his own rules, so you can get an idea about how he sees his games running.

Oh darn! I really would love to see this, but rather unsure if I can persuade my wife to go for a holiday to the UK, just so I can play with model soldiers with Mr C. himself.

I hope it’s alright to post my photo in this thread?

Berglander Assault Troops

Officer, LMG, SMG x2 Flamethrower and Riflemen x7.

Used single colours mainly with occasional highlight, heavy blacklined and high-gloss varnish finish. 

Will take some better photos at some point – these just on my phone in daylight.  (Though with glossy finish there’s only so much a camera can do.)

These look great!

I like the German look of these, but not the direct copy of German uniforms. I think if I get some of these (I’m just trying to find an excuse at the minute!) I’d really struggle to design the uniforms - too much choice!

Nice planes - and tanks! Are the planes Sarissa Precision? And can I ask who manufactures the tanks? Very good looking game!
