Jumped on at the very last minute. Victory to mighty Slovsko. Bergland rightfully belongs to the peoples. Death to the fascist Panovians!!!!!

Oooh. Kev's painting style looks good on those. Something to aim for there.

Succumbed. Bought two army packs. Are there dates for the next releases at all?

We'll be getting Wave Two ready this month. The list is here:

There will be a 2nd special character model for the Wave Two deals as well. Not sure what it is yet, I'll share it on here as soon as I know of course.

Any chance that Wave Three could swap places with Wave Two?

Eh?! You haven't even got wave one Nick, and you're asking me to swop things around?!

The wave three models are the ones I’m really interested in.   Assume once the last wave has been released, then everything will be available.

Woohoo!! Parcel arrived.

Have gone for Berglanders and Slovskans. Two of the army deals and some addl artillery crews so I can expand the HMG crews.

These are BIG figures. Wowsers. Hoping I can find suitable vehicles. I was going to use Sloppy Jalopy, but they might be a bit small... Anyone compared them together?

Lovely lovely castings. Guns look easy to assemble. Possibly going to use "World Aflame" or Men Who Would be Kings. Try both I guess.

Cor. Looking forward to some simple paintjobs after doing 1870 French..

I think you'll find Sloppys will be ok. They are 1/48th scale, which in theory is 36mm, & Mark's figures are 30/32mm.

I think any vehicle 1/48th or 1/43rd will do. Keep an eye on Mark's Instagram, I'm sure he'll feature more vehicles there.

Mark will be sharing his home grown rules at some point, but in the meantime try Contemptible Little Armies by Mark's chum Chris Peers.

Any chance we might see some Border 'furniture' - sentry boxes, signposts and such like ?

I ordered the Panovians as I like the Austro look but I really like those Slovskan Generals with their British look.
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.

Any chance of tank commanders and vehicle drivers (suitable for 1/48 scale vehicles)?
