Thanks for the link Happy this is a really interesting blog. One can never get enough information and one of the most interesting aspects of this hobby for me is discovering how others approach a game or campaign. I now have another excellent source-thank you!
I agree with what you say entirely about the 25pdr. I simply do not need to field it on the table at all but it is just a habit of mine to collect and paint artillery pieces....it just completes a collection in my view. The correct piece from Empress is £13 so this time I may skip the process altogether!
I have just ordered from Elheim and Under Fire miniatures, these are new companies for me and it will be exciting to see what their products are like. The Alouette and BTR 152 are on my desk awaiting crew....I have never been much of a kit builder so this is a great learning curve made possible I have to say because of the great Chaps on here.
