On the minus side this leaves me 5 elements short (for my Welsh army) but I am awaiting a delivery from Essex of 20 figures.
On the plus side, however, I have 12 x Viking Irr Bd(F) elements almost completed. These can be used as Viking raiders or back ranks of Wb(F).
Also nearing completion are 7 elements of Roman cavalry.
Round Up
Saturday 14th July 2018 - Horbury Library
Postscript - even in the two 'modified' games the Romans failed to win.
Monday 16th July 2018 - WDW
DBMM - Hindu Indian v Early Byzantines
Wings of War - WW2 aerial combat - Brits v Germans
Square Bashing - Grmans v Brits 1915
DBM - Sicilian v Islamic Berbers - a damn close run thing. With one bound to go the enemy only had to lose one more element for it to rout. We needed two and a half. Guess what happened!
Monday 23rd July 2018 - Al's Place
DBM - Thebans v Phokians. At the drawing of stumps we had lost two EEs and the opposition none. A really booooooring draw.
Sunday 29th July 2018 - Halifax
Another visit to the model shop purchasing only one box of plastics:
Bearing in mind that the French only fought the British, on land, at the tail end of the Egyptian war. I probably don't need that many of these figures.
The 'Tarleton' type helmets were worn by the British Legion during the American revolution so I can see where the surplus is likely to end up. For the mounted arm I can always use Mexican cavalry from Imex.
