ITLSU 1917 Project

Not at all surprised. I am also looking into that. Like the idea of a bit of derring-do for a change from the organised armies I usually play.

Thanks Grumpy, current thoughts are a V&B wing scale variant so we don't need to learn another rule set

Fantastic paint jobs on these minis, can't wait to see more 

I must ask, what colours are you using for the Aussie undershirts? I'm struggling to think of a good vallejo colour that matches the blue-grey of the shirt.

[Womble67]

Those horse look really good Paul

Take care

The colour looks very similar to Vallejo Grey Blue 943 to me.

You have a good eye Leman it is indeed Grey Blue 943
I dry brush with either 905 Blue Grey Pale or 989 Sky Grey as highlights

[Nick]

Thanks a lot guys, really appreciate it!

[paulr]

No problem Nick, for Aussies and Kiwis a lot of the undershirts were sent from home rather than being issued so a variety of colours can be used

For the 'colonials' I tend to use a mix of greens and greys  as well as blue. My Welsh all have blue undershirts.

991 Dark Sea Grey dry brushed 943 Grey Blue or 989 Sky Grey
924 Russian Uniform WWII drybrushed 972 Light Green Blue or 943 Grey Blue

I finally managed to get some more paint on this batch

• some detailing done on the tanks
• shirts dry brushed on Welsh and light car gunners
• various items of clothing picked out on the Arabs with various colours, 8 out of 10 colours so far

[Nick]

Good to see some more work on this, Paul

Anything special planned here for Anzac Day?

[paulr]

This weekend we are finishing off a Poland 1939 game

Next weekend we will be playing another of Pierre the Shy's ANZAC What if Scenarios, this time looking at a possible attack north of Suvla Bay

This weekend we are finishing off a Poland 1939 game

Next weekend we will be playing another of Pierre the Shy's ANZAC What if Scenarios, this time looking at a possible attack north of Suvla Bay

Last year we played a couple of what if gamesaround the supposition that the ANZAC Corps landed on the flatter terrian around Suvla Bay. That involved the ANZAC covering force from Australian 3rd Brigade. This time its the Kiwis turn to land to the north of the salt lake and advance inland. I'm going to play the Ottoman defenders so the others don't know precisely what they're facing...only that some defences have been spotted by eariler aerial recce.

Good excuse to finish off my Indian mountain battery.

Made some more progress on this batch

• first third of uniforms dry brushed on Welsh and light car gunners
• MGs dry brushed
• various items of clothing picked out on the Arabs with various colours, last 2 out of 10 colours done

   
   

[paulr]

The slow and unsteady progress on this batch continues

• all uniforms on the Welsh and light car gunners dry brushed
• Arab horse's manes, tails & hooves done

[paulr]

More progress yesterday 

• white markings on Arab horses
• all rifle stocks

Just to interrupt an excellent thread. Does anyone have the Western Front supplement for ITLSU that the ladies did for free?

[GrumpyOldMan]

Hello Fenton

Just to interrupt an excellent thread. Does anyone have the Western Front supplement for ITLSU that the ladies did for free?

Only one I know about is Storm of Blood which appeared in the Summer 2011 Special and is repeated in the Play the Game Compendium, neither free unfortunately. This was for trench warfare.

Cheers

Pierre the Shy has that supplement and as we play the early period on the western front we haven't really had a need for it

[Leman]

The Storm of Blood Supplement does have some charts for 1914 Western Front troops, but you are probably better referring back to earlier posts on the ITLSU 1914 thread.
