But but they're helping each other!

Victoria' still on the throne so it's Colonial for me.

Russo-Japanese War 1904-5 ..... Victoria died in 1901 so technically not on the throne

Lovely figures by the way, I'll have to get these to add to my other Tsuba figs.
Regards

Doh, for some reason I thought it was 1901... not for the first time either

Would those Japanese pass for 1920s?

[Paul @ Empress Miniatures]

We are just waiting for the new Japanese cavalry packs to arrive in time for Salute. As soon as we have them I will post on here.

Would those Japanese pass for 1920s?

Don't think so. There would have been uniform changes around or during WWI, if not further ones afterwards, but I haven't seen definite information on it.

You can decide whether these figures are suitable for 1920.
I think it is better to do the conversion Chinese Copplestone.

[H.M.Stanley]

Thanks Cuprum

[Ignatieff]

Cool.  What about some figure sets showing atrocities?     I'll get my coat........

[H.M.Stanley]

The Rape of Nanking.  Such a jolly film ...

I dare say the Japanese aren't on their own in that particular list of bad 'uns.

The Rape of Naming.  Such a jolly film ...

I dare say the Japanese aren't on their own in that particular list of bad 'uns.

I dare say not. But they do fit central castings idea of a pantomime villain.

True. Makes a change from us Brits now

Of course, there's no reason not to do BoB 20 years earlier in the 1900's. China would be even more disorganized. You have Czarist cossacks, rather than Soviet. And you have the Japanese. And any intrepid Western archaeologists would dress in Edwardian garb, rather than interwar clothing.

Same scenery. Probably the same railroad network.

Probably no airplanes. But hot air balloons with small propeller driven gasoline motors??

The Central Asian tribes would be as restive under Nicholas II, as they were under Lenin.

Would those Russian uniforms pass for "White Russians in Chinese Service" for a 1920 Warlord army?
