Beast,
I was shocked that in the group photo you were not wearing a new gong. Steve has informed me that you award yourself one after every action. So what gives?!?

No medal for the Beast (more affectionately known to his millions of devotees as Adrian Pasha) I’m afraid, as this was an historical recreation and not a 1920? Episode and as such does not count towards Adrian Pasha unrivalled success and medal collection. A collection I would have you note that he has received from grateful (and ever expanding) people of Bukhara.

The Adventures of Dunsterforce by Lionel Charles Dunsterville is available free via the net by means of a well known search engine as is a wealth of other information and photos. My personal photo favourite is of course the Turkish artillery dominating the heights above Baku with complete impunity…if only that had been the case last Sunday.

Re: Martinsyde Elephant - only 1/72 options I know are both vacforms. One by Rose Panes and by Classic planes. Both OOP and I would imagine you'd need to empty your wallet to buy one these days! Vacform biplanes are not for the faint hearted.

Oddly it is one of my favourite planes and I have the Profile and a Cross & Cockade virtually devoted to its career. Guess I just like elephants.

As to the game....? Stunning does not come close. Just as well I did not see it 'live' as people might have asked "Why is there a lake in this corner?". They would then follow the drool back to my open mouth.

Kind words, but yes a bugger on the elephant. I'd need a 1/56 or at a stretch a 1/48 scale one in any event.

Its 8 degrees below, snow and ice outside and generally miserable. You just chased all that away. Inspirational and beautiful stuff as always. Thank you for sharing this wonderful collection and battle report. Made my day.

Beautiful game, just the sort of thing to inspire the rest of us to try and match.

Well, I did say try....

I'll echo some others here and say that the game looks like it was a lot of fun; thanks for sharing the game report!

Thanks a lot Ignatieff. As I've said at the introductions threat i'm doing some drawings about Dunsterforce's battles and all graphic references will be very welcome. I've readed the comments about your pics and i'm very intererested in all of them.
If possible, could you share your references?. I'm finding lot of troubles trying to get some color pictures of Jangali warriors, and i'm a bit confused about the components of islam army. I'm not sure if they were the Azerbayan army or something similar.

Thanks in advance!!
