APW - excellent ranges and loads of background material plus some decent rule sets around nowadays.

Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

Hello fsn

For a good general purpose 'war' how can you look past Eastern Front WW1!! This can morph to RCW, Balkan wars (ImagiNations as well), Back of Beyond, travel even further East with Warlord China. Add WW1 Italians and Austrians. You can make a whole new lead pile without too much thought.  :D :D.

If classical Greeks, I'd say Achaemenid Persians were an obvious choice too. Though you might need to strain the resources of every suitable 10mm producer to get a reasonable range of figure   types.

When the early war German Fallshirmjager that Techno has done for 1940 are released you will need some more of those.

Early war German Fallshirmjager for 1940?  Is he going to produce some early war 1940 opponents for them?

Techno

Couldn't say, John. :-\
The Germans were a 'special' at Orcs' request. (i.e. He 'funded' them, through the 'You want what making' system.)

surely you need some ancient Spanish to go with the Carthagians?

7YW, ECW, C19th, Zulu's, lots of ancients (Gauls, Dacians, Imperial Romans etc...), dare I say it... Mongols. Possibilities are endless (almost)

Meeting with 2 directors (as if one isn't enough) on Monday. This discussion could well be moot by Monday evening.  :-SS

However ... Falklands War program on Discovery History ... Ooooh .... pretty Pendraken range ...

Anyway. I have narrowed it down to ...


  • Falklands War (This may come off the list when the program ends)
  • Russian 1944
  • Japanese WWII (1939 Khalkhin Gol)
  • NW Frontier - either 1880ish or 1920-30ish
  • Dien Bien Phu - big clear bit of airfield
  • C19 Little Wars on Steroids - bit I want Brits in Home Service Helmet and Austrians in white!  :'(
  • Ancient Greeks. Not too fussed about Persians, I want the Greeks taking on Carthaginians and Republican Romans ... and each other
  • WWI  1914 ... or 1918 ... in Italy ... or Eastern Front ... or the Middle East
  • 1956 Suez

... or something else.
