More Peter Laing Figures

The beginning of 2016 has been good to me, at least in regards to getting more Peter Laing figures. Two more packages arrived with recently purchased Peter Laing figures. In the month of January I have bought over 400 Peter Laing figures. Unfortunately it has left me low on money!
These figures have many possible uses. I am thinking along a colonial war-game based on the Egyptian war against the Mahdi. They can also be reinforcements for my Arab army, or a foe against them.

These were the other half of the above collection. There were enough native figures that, with figures I already have, will give me 3 units of Fuzzi Wuzzis, and 3 other units of native troops. The other figures, with figures I already have, will give me 5 units of Egyptian infantry and either 1 unit of Egyptian cavalry, or 2 weak cavalry units.

I also got a well painted lot of WSS cavalry.

This particular cavalry figure is probably my favorite Peter Laing cavalry figure. Perhaps because it reminds me of Britains cavalry figures.

New Figures and Old Friends

    While going through some of my older figures, I came across some of my first metal soldiers, 15 mm Editions Brokaw SWY and WSS figures. When I started wargaming again, after using my 1st generation Minifigs and Heritage Napoleonettes, these are the figures I got hooked on. They can be hard to come by. They were produced by Pat Condray. I bought a large lot of them a couple of years ago. The only way to contact Pat was by regular mail. He doesn't have a website to order through. And as he splits his year between two addresses, it was tricky to get an order in. For me, the extra effort was worth it.

     I also bought a couple of lots of 1st generation Napoleonics, including some Prussian General figures. There is something about the Minifigs general figures that every time I see them, I have to bid on them.
