In the last couple of weeks I got two good sized lots of Britain's Herald Guards infantry and cavalry. The lots slipped by other buyers, but after that I missed out on three other lots, which the prices started to go out of control.

| 13 Guards cavalry from the other lot. I missed out on two other lots of cavalry. |

| These figures I had already. As a kid I never used prone figures when I played. As I start thinking of using figures outside, these figures make a lot of sense as they don't fall over. There is something about these Guards figures, in their dress uniforms with their SLR rifles in a combat pose that just really appeal to me. |
Splendid purchases indeed. Do you know the Funny Little Wars rules by Paul Wright?
ReplyDeleteThey are just what you need for outside gaming in the tradition of H G Wells.
I still haven't really done my homework on them, although I thought I read somewhere that it is taking H.G. Wells "kreigspiel" rules from the back of "Little Wars" and putting them to use. Also, I'm afraid an outside game may turn into a Godzilla scenario if my dog is outside!
