thanks for sharing, great write up. Any chance of some close up pic's of the figures?

Hi Slayer. I will get some close ups sorted. The starting point will be the Vickers MMG team, as my grandfather served in the NZ Machine Gun Corps in the Great War.

Loved reading this, excellent report of what looks like a great game.
Thanks for sharing.

Here is a first closer-up photo of the British forces, focusing mainly on the support teams.

AWE-sum! I especially like the artillery and caisson. Do want for my BEF guys.

What a lovely force to game with.

Thanks Anna,

The artillery pieces are set up to connect to the caisson, unlimber and then the trail is able to sit on the 'ground' when the gun is in action.

*That* is impressive.

Are the gun's wheels magnetized? I'd worry about wear and wheels separating if it's just friction.

monk2002uk · « **Reply #37 on:** May 21, 2015, 01:36:24 PM »

The wheels are not magnetised. They are secured to the base and the axle just rotates in the centre hole in the wheel. Wear will not be an issue.

Cool, thank you.

I like that idea.

Another close up, this time of the infantry squads and the armoured car. The squad on the right includes dismounted (early war) British cavalry.

Excellent.

I need some of those dismounts for my BEF. I love the armoured car, too.

Here are some of the German support teams.

Smashing! Love the consistently excellent basing. Thanks for posting.

Excellent troops, terrain, and write-up. Really reflected the "fog of war."

Thank you for the feedback. Here are the German infantry sections.
