Whither now?

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.   .

Cheers

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.)

Mongols!!!

Nuff said.

[Matt J]

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)

[getagrip]

Mongols!!!

Nuff said.

Cracking minis too

[Hertsblue]

You could always try painting some of them.

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

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.

[Leman]

Can't help you with any of that.

[Sean67]

1956 Suez you know you want too
Regards
Sean

ECW would be nice, but it doesn't give me a huge buzz, and I do think that the ECW requires big units and big armies. Can't be doing with units of 4 pikemen flanked by 8 musketeers!

Mongols just don't do anything for me at all. Sorry Mongol lovers.

Byzantines now.   I remember someone posting about how you could craft a Byzantine army from other ranges. Who was that?

Imperial Rome would be fine ... but who as an enemy? Perhaps somewhere in the East?

1956 Suez you know you want too

The whither over here today has been rather grim, to be honest.
Hope it's sunnier tomorrow.
