John has been sending me pictures of a big game he is getting set up for later this month, which will be his first game since Covid and lockdowns. It will feature many of the Ottomans that formed the Eric Knowles collection as well as a lot of the figures that I have painted over recent months on both sides. As John does not update his old blog and is not on social media I'm sharing them here with permission as I think there are others who would enjoy seeing them. The Ottoman commanders from my previous post will be marching to join the battle on Monday along with the last painted figures from 'Box 1'.
I'm sure John will fill you in on the makes and manufacturers of the figures involved.
Now THAT is what a young me imagined a wargame should look like!
ReplyDeleteI know just what you mean Ross :)
DeletePure nostalgia and still looks good, thanks Lee for posting the photos.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's very old school and wonderful for it.
DeleteSplendid. A lot of ranks is how I used to game my Airfix!
ReplyDeleteI was looking through the old Airfix ACW book a few days ago and that's what struck me, the deep ranks. Don't often see these straight forward encounter games these days.
Deleteyes it's been a long wait for a game, kick off Monday afternoon, as to makers lots of Minifigs from Eric Knowles collection Ottomans,& Marlburians , Ral Partha Ottomans (got off Ebay UK & from pal in USA) Strelets French cavalry, British cavalry & infantry, Hanoverian cavalry & infantry, Polish Winged Hussars by Minifigs, Zvezda , Orion,, other nations , Spanish, Dutch, Bavarians, Prussians, this going to be a fun game
ReplyDeletecheers Old John
Hi John,
DeleteI was hoping to get these last figures from the box to you in time for the game, especially wanted you to get the mounted commanders in the game, I'm posting in the morning so going to be too late?
Thanks for the clarification on the figures, so many manufacturers :)
Lee.
