The last post elicited some very helpful feedback about basing which I have taken on board. While going through this thought process it occurred to me that I already had some figures mounted on poker chips with a mix of flock and scatter so broke them out for a look.
When I have a little money, I buy Toy Soldiers; and if I have any left, I buy food and clothes. (with apologies to:) ERASMUS

Plastic Warrior 2023 - New stuff
Peter Cole of Replicants usually launches his new figures at the Plastic Warrior Show and here is this year's offering. Two sets (4 figures in each) of medieval peasants, and they are revolting, as they did!

Highlanders, Cherilea and Replicants toy soldiers
Some time ago I thought it would be a good idea to start a Jacobite collection, I gathered together what figures I had to hand and started painting but somewhere along the line the project just ran out of steam. Since then they've been sitting in a display case amongst my other C18th armies, until last week when the need to free up space meant they had to find a new home. while they were out I thought I'd take a few pics, and here they are:

Limping back from Moscow
Somewhere in the deep expanse of Russia the Grande Armee of Napoleon I has begun the long march back to it's homeland. A successful invasion had seen the most glittering army ever assembled in history, chase an elusive foe all the way to the gates of Moscow. But then the snow began to fall........
The French rearguard fall back steadily, contesting every inch of ground, selflessly sacrificing themselves to buy time for the rest of the army.
Lurking in the shadows and on the flanks are the ever present and watchful Cossacks!
It was originally going to be a quick game put together at short notice between a couple of players, but such is the enthusiasm of the Funny Little Wars aficionados that it quickly escalated to seven players pitching in a few hundred figures on a thirty foot snowscape.
Well what else are you going to do on a wet, windy Monday afternoon in London?
