WW2 British Infantry




I picked these figures up some years ago at a convention and can't remember the name of the company that made them. Can anyone help? They don't look like H&R nor Irregular. I think they might be Adler but I am not sure anymore.

I'd like to order some more as they are a real joy.

More lead

More lead has arrived. At this rate I had better order some more paints and brushes!

Today's post has brought me some Boxer Rebellion troops:

50 x British and Russian Sailors
50 x Italian Bersalergi, German Sea Battalion and Civilians
50 x Chinese Boxers
50 x Chinese Imperial Troops
25 x Chinese Cavalry
10 x Chinese Artillery

In December I purchased a 15mm mud and wooden fort which will go nicely with this range. Tuku Fort here I come!

At the same time I topped up my WW2 figures for my Staligrad Campaign:

50 x Waffen SS
100 x German Rifles
50 x German in greatcoats
50 x Russian Tommy Gunners
50 x Russian Sailors
25 x Russian Cossack Cavalry - to pick off the straglers!
6 x Russian Heavy Mortars

I ordered these from Grandiosity, USA. With the dollar being weak (or is the Swiss Franc strong?) it was still cheaper to order and ship them from the USA than the UK. Crazy. Price aside I recommend the service of these chaps it was top notch.

Boxer figures are Old Glory (my first and I do like the look of them) and WW2 Command Decision (of which I have loads).

Barbed wire


I found this really good-looking barbed wire with "winter" finish from http://www.productsforwargamers.com/ - they are excellent.

Trench system


I purchased a nice terrain item when I was last in the UK. I can't remember the name of the manufacturer but it is perfect for my Stalingrad campaign that I hope to start in the new year.
