Those 54mm by Scott are always stirring toy soldiers!… Do not tell me the subject is well known!
Exotic to say the least!
Napoleon’s III intervention in Mexico (Because the Mexicans were not paying their international debt!)… follow the money!
Wonderful Toy Soldiers!
Enjoy!

Well, an update was needed… Hooker’s first and second Divisions are tired/spent and Mansfield is coming up. Six Union Brigades depleted are going to the rear area and would not intervene in te battle again.
Same on the other side, Jackson’s Eight Brigades are gone to the rear spent/tired/out of ammo (whatever in my rules)… and concentrate around Sharpsburg… Funnily enough (say dice are wise) The Louisiana Tigers did put a fierce show until forced to retire.
We are in for Sumner’s attack and Burnside’s crossing the bridge of his name…
I may be accused of making the rules as things develop which is not true… by luck they do function but will adjust once this particular reenactment is finished.
Enjoy! (If you are interested in this series)

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!

U.S. Cavalry has always been a cherished subject since childhood… those John Ford movies did an everlasting work!
I saw this on Facebook (by Dave Mitchell) the other day and thought maybe change a little from Antietam in 6mm (You all must be tired of the subject by now!).
So…
Enjoy!

For once I will repeat a text entirely!
“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!”

Do not tell me this Post is childish because it isn’t… wonderful Fortification or Castle (what you prefer), nice Toy Soldiers… and a PURPOSE!
Yes, the British are attacking the Russians!… it smacks of the Crimean war (War was War back then.. you know!)
How can you play (unashamedly) with Toy Sodiers…
Enjoy!

Maybe for me (not a single pic is of my Toy Soldiers at all… not even the Castle… but close enough).
Wood building blocks… in my cas they were cork… Britain’s in red tunics!… there you got it! (BUT lots of other not so nice soldiers buuut… deligthful in their way too… they were not even lead).
To have Britain’s in the Nineteen Fifties in Barcelona (Spain) was a rare luxury… and I had them thanks to a trip to London of my Pa&Ma (How they translate THAT BIG BOX in THAT TIME eludes me… maybe a Hamley’s purchase?… on a plane (Do you remembre the commercial planes of the fifties?)…
Whatever… have not stopped collecting the stuff since then.
Enjoy!
BTW Nice framed posters on the walls…

Lovely display!… For once the collector has more soldiers than me! (Only kidding… never thought on having such vast numbers of Household Cavalry!) by contrast my RHA teams are more complete (life has those turns…)… to do not mention the Foot Guards… even if I suspect NOT his whole collection in the pics.
Never thought for a second to let mine be displayed outside of my Home&Castle… if you know what I mean…
A great Idea.
Enjoy!

This is not the first time I Post John Firth’s work… I just love them figures!, tastefully painted and crafted in a variety of positions.
You do not need much more figures to have a very nice “ensemble”.
Enjoy!
