Battle of Vladivostok (North Riding Wargames BoB campaign)
The Brazilian Exploratory Force (BEF) makes its long awaited debut into the theatre!

"Firstly, why the Brazilians, you're probably wondering. The answer is, there was already too many British players. And yes, those are late war WW1 British figures being used to play the Brazilians."

Lister: "Oh God, aliens... Your explanation for anything slightly peculiar is aliens, isn't it?

Rimmer: "Well, we didn't use it all, Lister. Who did?"

Lister: "Rimmer, aliens used our bog roll?"

Great background ideas and a wonderful looking game 8) !

Thank you. I can honestly say, that the good looking table and game is in no way thanks to me, in any shape or form.

Most of the bits and pieces (all the terrain, trains and plane, lots of the figures) are from the collections of two Pendraken employees. A good size chunk of the Japanese is a club member from Northallerton, and the 'Brazilians' are figures I bought 2nd hand on eBay.

I tell a lie, I painted the Brazilian commander figure  ;D

Great read.

Somehow seems very appropriate that the Brazilians focused their attention on a tight strip down the middle whilst causing irritation all around...
(I know, even though it's fantasy  :o  ;)  )

I hosted a Serbian visitor some years ago who was very proud of her Buenos Aires waxwork job. I suppose after going through that you have a vested interest.

I'm currently preparing for the Brazilians' next action. Their thrust into China being hampered by the forces of Warlord Zhao Lingwei. The ramblings can be found over on my blog LINK
