Title: My 28mm Great War
Post by: J.S. on 03 March 2013, 03:15:48 PM
Hi Folks,

I'm a huge fan of the WW1 Period and despite already having a growing 10mm Pendraken collection, I finally painted up those 28mm miniatures which so far lived a sad life of oblivion in a cardboard box in my basement. Been waiting for a moment of motivation for these since..erm..3 years or so and now.. here they are...hope you like them.

Thanks  :)

I'll either use Contemptible Little Armies or The Great War by Warhammer Historical...the latter has the advantage that friends of mine who are not into historical wargaming ( 40k only..) already know the rules more or less..
It seems that late in the war the AEF also experimented with helmet camouflage..maybe I'll give it a try once the rest of the U.S. infantry arrives
