A Detachment of the 74th Highlander Regiment commanded Lt Col. John Fordyce. Using the brilliant painted references from my friend @JAD965, I certainly had something to aspire to with this new Sharp Practice project.

74th Highlander Regiment deployment point or objective marker for Sharp Practice. I decided to do everything in one go for this project as I have a couple of new collections in the pipeline this year. You should see these in a battle report soon.

Antelope Herd. I have added several species of African animals to the collection, as I think no self-respecting African wargames table should be without wildlife. I would like them to interact with the gameplay in a subtle way.

Who doesn’t like to see a Giraffe 🦒 wandering around on the tabletop?

The majestic Cheetah, the fastest land animal in the world, reaching speeds of up to 120kph or 75mph. Just don’t play them in a card game, as you simply can’t trust them 😬

At least they're not lion all the time.  ;)

Splendid stuff, and you cannot have too many velvet and jungle animals. Just caught my annual spring/summer Darkest Africa bug again, too.

Very nicely done! Looking forward to the Xhosa.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo
