A brilliant set-up

Let's hope the good people at Empress release a few more goodies for this campaign in a not too distant future...

Very nice pictures. Your table looks awesome. I enjoy looking at it every time I see new pictures. I am also surprised Chris was there. But his way to Partizan wasnt that long. He is in England at the moment. He is a very nice chap ( Hi Chris

)

Hi Björn!

Actually, wanting to see that game was the deciding factor to go down to Newark, although I only made the final decision on Friday. And it was worth it, yessir! A marvellous table. It did not make we want to start Abyssinia as a project, but I did purchase a batch of Woodbine figures to do a BoB British Indian Army force for T&T with. An armoured car is already built, and two officers (Copplestone) I had lying around are already painted.

Usual excellence... loved this at Salute, glad to hear the Abbi's got the Italians this time. I didn't expect that!

Who makes those tankettes?

It's always nice when the Ethiopians get their own back... the tankettes are all Empress.

Fully agree that it would be nice to see some new releases for this range soon. The one thing that I think is really, really missing is a pack of Ethiopian LMGs.

Just the business. Well done, James.

We could also use an Askari HMG, an Italian brigade/regimental level command group and some Bersaglieri, methinks. A mortar wouldn't go amiss either.

Very nice pics. Not only is Darrell a wonderful painter, but he's also handy with a camera.

There are a few more pics but for some reason the 'Upload' feature only wanted to take one pic at a time
