Steve, I think you are correct , Henry Hyde posted some pictures from Partizan which included the ACW game and they do look like 15mm on closer inspection. The figures and buildings I would imagine are available from the normal 15mm manufacturers but I'm not sure about the Rebel earthworks or the po...
Highlight of the Partizan show last Sunday was a fantastic ACW game in one of the smaller rooms off the corridor. Not sure who put it on, I did mean to go back and find out some info but didn't :evil: If anyone knows what figures were used and if all the equipment / buildings etc are commercially av...

Adrian, Sorry if I had known you were that easily confused I wouldn't have bothered with the 3 Napoleon figures :lol: To give you a bit of thinking time between now and Nov's game I'll give you a brief outline of one of your objectives.

Paul,
If you go to www.calpeminiatures.co.uk and look under the FULL catalogue you will find lots of usefull uniform info in amongst the figure listings, this was pretty much my main source of reference when I painted my stuff.

Gentlemen,

Dale and Andrew your e-mails have bounced back, if you could let me know your current addresses I will update and resend.

Thanks Colin and Dave for organizing another great off the wall game which I thoroughly enjoyed. The GPO rifles did sterling work against the unholy grand alliance of the 2 Bishops ( an alliance that was bound to fall apart eventually whether they took the bait of my bogus messages or not ) and the ...
well done Peter for organising and running another great weekend ,it all ran very smoothly with everyone fully involved from the first turn to the last and having great fun into the bargain. Ah yes David the Glorious Gordons, the steadfast defence of the Lucknow Residency on Saturday followed by the...
