Go away...at the moment I'm cursing the complete ****** who decided that the Czapka was a clever design.
It's taking me longer to make one of these at 30mm 'scale' than it takes me to make a new 10mm figure from scratch.

Cheers - AAAARGH ! :'( :'( :'(

(The six *s, above can begin with any of the  following....'F'...'W'....or 'T'......they all end with 'er'.)

I feel better for that !
Cheers- Phil. ;)

Is that why we won't be getting ww2 Polish cavalry in 10mm any time soon, as to do a complete range we would need  cavalrymen both mounted and dismounted in Czapka as well as the Adrian helmet.

It might seem an odd thing to say, Mark, but I'm pretty sure I'd find Czapkas much easier to do at small scales.
At '30mm' mistakes in the shape are far more noticeable......Getting it to look 'symmetrical' is a sod of a job. ;)

Cheers - Phil. :)

We're not gaming the troubles* are we?


* One of the paramilitaries (can't recall which) was nicknamed the Wombles due to their taste for fur hooded parka jackets.


Just spotted that the Telegraph is agitating against the Wombles (Too woke or something).
One wonders what's in the fumes emitted from Victoria Station.

Bloody Wombles, tree hugging nature lovers. If the plebs reduce, reuse and recycle them how do we sell them new stuff to keep our profits up?!

Also at least one of thems a foreigner and likely here illegally.

Plus they never have proper jobs!

Do I sound like the Telegraph yet? I'm not sure I can dial the frothing up high enough...

I am converting Gush Renaissance army lists to Furioso.  Tedious, but necessary given the limited list available, and their lack of a number of troop types
I did that for Warmaster and Pike and Shotte, I really like those lists

Ooh, what? Not heard of these. A quick search brings up this. Is this what you're on about?

Ta. Now to work out what all these abbreviations mean. Most seem fairly obvious, and I have a copy of WRG Ancients around here somewhere which should help.

Where are my Poles now?

Ta again. These two were difficult, especially as HCm is Heavy Camelry in WRG Ancients, and I was struggling to work out how the Hussites would field such a unit.
