Messrs Jack and O'Brien did a cute selling job on us during the weekend

Looks like were all talked into a mega size game from in the Back of Beyond!(I can't believe I'm actually doing it

) for the next outing of the League.

Off to look at Copplestone's website for a force now

No problem CAARADE,

CITIZEN Jack explained the differencies between Red and White Russian Cossacks, and as long as "Kellerman" has horses, "Schnapps's descendants" better lie low

Have two regiments in this field already, both were destined for "Crimea" but will readily adapt back to intended design purposes.

Now where can I replace a Guillotine with a heavy wagon mounted machine gun ? - will do the same job on ther good Colonel Scnhapps

Kettermanski might want to look at these little beauties and recruit some of them into his army, I know a couple of other comrades have.

Have wagon, just washing the blood stains off after removing said guillotine, might try and emulate "Barry's" own splendid conversion Toss up between a conversion by little ole me, or Eureka's purpose made item. Looks good though, any comment as to compatibility with Copplestone figures

Was searching for a WW1 Limber to use in conjunction with White Russian Cavalry. Must be blind, missed the Foundry WW1 Limber and my thanks to Paul for his pointers

Don't see this on the White Ruskie army list, but where would "Kellermanski" be without some gun mobility. and you got to admit, its a lot faster than pack horse

And by the way, that Eureka stuff is fantastic, I'll be having some of that! I met the guy that runs the show(Nick.. a Yorkie I believe!!!!) at Historicon.. he had transported his gear across the Pacific to be there! Could probably show us all a thing or two about logistics

And they have some fantatstic new stuff for India - snake charmers, man on a bed of nails etc. A definite purchase for my Indian Mutiny collection.

Peter, Colin already has these figures from Eureka we used them in our Indian Mutiny game at Kirrimuir. He will probably be bringing them up to the next game as this type of character is fairly generic to the whole region.

Bob, the Tchanka fits in perfectly with the Copplestone figures. Colin already has to on the go and I believe that a certain Col Schnapski is currently recruiting some for his Bolshies.

Sorry guys, I forgot to add this link to my last message

If you want any Eureka figures then I would suggest getting them from Ian Marsh at this company. Really nice guy and deserves all our support, plus it saves the postage from OZ.

Barry, Nic has often turned up at Claymore the last few years along with Duncan McFarlane. He wasn't there this year but he is supposed to be coming up with Ian Marsh next year.

Cheers
Dave

Thanks for the links, especially UK based Nic.
A mobile machine gun (or two) are on the list with something that packs a little more power

Kellermans sister married a Russian Noble detainee after the surrender of one of Prince Andrei's infantry regiments on Bastille Day 1815. This said "Count Deadovitch" has a decendant active during the Russian Civil War, and I commend "Count Yuri Deadovitch" as a totally reckless, insubordinate, and incompetent commander of cavalry for any force

Had envisaged a combined RN force with a White Russian Nobleman trying to rescue some poor little lass called "Anastasia" from whichever nasty little person had incarcerated her. If its too far fetched, let me know, and a pure White Russian force will emerge to harass my enemies

Kellerman, I look forward to meeting this count .

It's not just Anastasia we will be looking for, rumour has it that the Revolting Reds botched the job on the Royal Family and they managed to flee into Central Asia. Colin already has the whole family and they have appeared in many games in our BoB campaign. I would post a pic but I don't think I can add attachments to these messages.

Cheers

Wella wella wella well

Anything but an EIGHT Bob, and the Count assures me that the Cossacks WILL charge.

I'm having second thoughts about my forces for the Back of Beyond game. The prospect of raising a strong Cossack force again is tempting especially if I can chase you around the filed again Bob !

That said I've started on my film crew/ British /Indian force. Something about needing to have lancers as part of my command.

Looking forward to it already.
