The Doggerland Front; where are the Dutch?

[Return of the Modhail]

Meaning that they could not possibly defend all of the new land, just like the others would not be able to take and hold it either. So raids and patrols would be the norm. And Dutch settlers thrown into the mix is absolutely a great idea! The potential for inclusion of civilian militia is too good to pass up

Absolutely, for political and economical reasons they'd argue a claim to those swathes of land, but they'd not have anywhere near the military power to enforce it. I was mainly thinking those fishing outposts dotted along river banks would give the Dutch a good degree of surveillance on who's in the hinterlands, and many opportunities to trade, tax, or otherwise be thorn in the side of many expeditions. And eager to make a profit off their passing through, whether official or unofficial.

And yeah, I love the idea of complicating a scenario by suddenly introducing an angry Dutch farmer and his witch daughter demanding you leave "his land"!

In the meantime, I've gone through Wargames Atlantic's digital design catalogue again and I've identified most of the files I had been eying a couple of months ago. Oddly enough, I can't seem to find the rather essential file of heads wearing Adrian helmets anymore, but I'll keep on searching.

There are several options for the bodies. As I said before; I'm not a button counter, but several items should be clearly represented. One of those are puttees, and those are well represented on these options:

WW1 Canadians



American Doughboys



And this vignette like model has useful headgear; Sgt. Stubby



And for the mounted elements, the German cavalry is a good starting point:



There are quite a few more sets, or parts thereof, that could be useful though, like a baggage train with mules and carts, laden with construction materials, French Foreign Legion, which could donate their kepi's, and quite a few more.

In fact, there are several sets obviously geared towards this very setting, such as pagan conversion sets or priests.

Now for those Adrian helmets

That's them!

I must have misremembered where I saw them. Cheers for that

So. Many. Projects... 

My wife and I have been busy moving out of our home of thirty years - a process that began last February.  Only one project but a very big one indeed.

I managed to finish these chaps before packing everything away.   Herr Schultz "Der Rote Schwaben" and his side-kick Jackli. I have plans for five more and possibly a rabbit.

Great stuff from Modhail!

Refreshing to see the thread awaken.

That's lovely! Well done
