There seems to be a lot of Prussians lately… but that’s what it is… sometimes wargamers do have to follow a fashion no matter what (me included). Prussia had a span of 30 years before integrating Great Germany after 1870… and still… they are very popular (as anything before WWI and WWII)… LOL
Enjoy!
A lot of Prussians advancing…The French opposition!
Expressly built for A GENTLEMAN’S WAR ruleset I guess…
The battle of Dorking (completely fictional) is surely embeded in the mind of a lot of Toy Soldiers Wargamers in 54mm… do not ask me why… a sad depressing book (highly readable though)… shrinks/quack doctors do make a hard cash from it!
Enjoy the model! Ah! incidentally topped 120.000 visitors a couple of days ago, as usual this is popular specially in the USA (It puzzles me because stopping at 1900 it leaves out the US Century… but you’ll never know why at all)
I must confess I have acquired some Prussian Playmobils to play it too but maybe à la Wells.
Couldn’t resist posting some redcoated Toy Soldiers as seen in Facebook on the William Britain’s Group.
Always thought they were the best Toy Soldiers around when I was a kid…
So…
Enjoy!

Already another Post is in Facebook… do not know if I will publish here… do not know why the more the number of Posts on a subject the less Hits it gets… I guess the majority likes “something new all the time”.
LOL
I do what I can really!
Enjoy!
The Cavalry goes on reconnaissance…
Hussars… or Light Cavalry…Small number commanded by a NCO.
“In a way, a suite of pics that shows that it is easy to roleplay (in fact it was not even called roleplaying at all back then) with 54mm vintage Toy Soldiers… and “damn the torpedoes”…
Eclectic? Yes
Old Fashioned? Yes
Childish? Yes
Fun? Yes
So…
Enjoy!”
