Dark Lord, with these figures, you tempt us!

I feel I am going to end up with a Mespot project.   :D

What's that with the Turkish generals? It looks like am undercover camel.

It's a large rock with a map draped over it!  There's also a tree stump with map which you can see in the Belgian Generals image.  It'll either/or in the packs we supply, whichever we clip off when casting them up.

Thanks.

The tree stump I'd worked out.

But if you squint, it does look a bit like a camel hiding.

One thing that is needed in the WW1 Middle East range is a new British officer: it would have been an offence out there to wear a general service cap out doors (and plain stupid in that heat and sun): officer should be in a Bombay Bowler!   Can this error be rectified?

Fantastic! Been waiting for this figure release. Must paint what I got AND buy more.

Quick question - are the pictures of the Belgian and Turkish Generals transposed?

Regards

At last Leman himself makes an appearance.

Those Turkish generals - are you sure it's not a Kemal hiding under the map?

That list is pretty impressive and is encouraging me to get on with completing the Eastern Front and my Belgians.

Having checked out the catalogue I have a suspicion that the photos for the Belgian senior officers and the British senior officers have been inadvertently switched.

Leon is now wishing the Turks had got the tree stump.

Oh. They did.



Well that explains it.


The Belgians are being spied on by a undercover Turkish camel.

Hello

Very tempting, has the French aide gone then? Why am I the only one to notice that the turban chappies have been labelled as traitors - "ME23 - Turkish foot in turban".

Cheers

I think he's referring to the catalogue photo of the Turkish foot in turbans. They look like the photo in the thread of the Indian troops.

I will wait to see NEA1 i.d.c. having found out what that is thanks to the Search Engine>.   Ta!!!

At last I can dismount my Ulhans - those serious cases of saddle sores should not recur.

Might bag a general or two, though I have probably got more generals than anybody would ever need. Probably true to period though, most of them were about as useful as a chocolate teapot and there were lots of them..

I was thinking of F16 High Command which had a general and aide wearing side cap, I think. I'm assuming that's still the same then  :)

No, it was the announcement here that had the wrong nationality but has now been quietly brought back into the fold  :P :P

F16 High Command is still available and is now supplemented by F41 Senior Officers.
