Still battling over the crossroads

Well I have been having a lot of fun with the 54mm toy soldiers this last week or so.

I made some walls out of balsa to give the chaps some cover.

And I used some signs from the Rapid Fire! website to tart up the building. As you can see it has a bakery and a grog shop. A good objective for the soldiery.

Here is another battle for a crossroads.


Frenchies behind  a wall are hard to defeat.


The lancers clash. 







After much fighting the French take and hold the objective.

It has been so enjoyable that I have spent some money on some more 54mm toy soldiers, the first hobby money spent since February. I have fancied the north west frontier for some time but could not settle on a range or size till now. So I have jumped in and bought some Armies in Plastic soldiers, I am quite excited to get my hands on them.

    Another great looking game Paul. The Dubonnet advert is very effective.

      Thanks Ross it's there is something nice about handling the big shiny soldiers even though they are plastic.
      Regards,
      Paul.

      I googled it and yes you can, no good for me though as I am teetotal.
      Cheers,
      Paul.

    Paul, thank you for leaving a message on my blog, it motivated me to start The Chronicles again.
    And then, I saw the pictures in your last posting...I have bought 14 boxes of Armies in Plastic two weeks ago... I wanted to paint them up as Britains Deetail, just details and maybe pants or headgear.
    Not sure about the rules, but as the toys are individually based, it doesn't really matter.
    Very inspiring indeed, thank you Paul.
