December Releases!

[Leon]

In our final batch of releases this year, we've got some of the most anticipated new releases in a long time, as the new AWI cavalry are now available!  These additions include the British Legion cavalry, along with the Light Dragoons in tarleton, and on the American side we've got the Dragoons in French helmets.  Maybe the requests will slow down a bit now... or at least until the Forum's Tarleton Brigade get the next target in their sights!    

The other half of this month's releases sees the first of the vehicles added to the Falkland's ranges, with the Scorpion, Scimitar and Panhard all now available!

Bringing up the rear (it was a heavy bit of kit, so that sounds about right!), is the Seabrook armoured car.  This was built on a truck chassis, and were brought into service in 1915, with a 3lb gun on the back, and mountings for Vickers-Maxim MG's in the corners.  There's more info on this one on the Landships site: http://www.landships.info/landships/car_articles.html#

Armour, tarletons and Landies, an eclectic mix but you've got to love it!

[goat major]

Ordered !

[Steve J]

Great news on the cavalry as these will flesh out my AWI/Imaginations chaps very, very nicely .

[Phobos]

No spanish yet? =(

[FierceKitty]

No Spanish yet?

Or their enemies?

[OldenBUA]

AWI
AWB45 Light Dragoons in Tarleton                                £4.00

Couldn't you add tuppence to the price for each time they've been requested? Thinking that if people wanted them that badly, they would be prepared to pay a bit more? 

Though it could mean that for the Meso-Americans real astronomical prices would have to be paid.

 Who's the mysterious 'Barrie' . Sheen perhaps?

[Sean67]

Surely most of the British legion are to old to be in the cavalry???
I'd of thought they'd of been in the specialist motorised Wheelchair Brigade 
Sean
love the new Falklands releases.

[Sean67]

Sorry Leon
in the Falklands there was never any Armour v armour engagement?? everything I've read and everyone I've talked to points to there never being an Armoured engagement?

It’s great to see the AWI cavalry released. I wonder what the next big AWI push will be.

Any chance of a photo of the Seabrook?

Who's the mysterious 'Barrie' . Sheen perhaps?

He's a falklands veteran and one of the owners of Timecast who helped Leon and Techno design the Falklands range. It was their thank you, based on a long chat with him where he said he wanted a figure he could paint as himself, so he got his request! He served with Brigade Intel.

A shot in the dark but is Barrie Corporal Barry Lovell of 81 Intelligence section?

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Later sergeant Lovell...

Sounds good to me.

My mistake there, at Wireless Ridge, the Argentinians were supported by the 10th Armoured Cavalry Squadron, who were in the Panhards.  I've just reread the info, and they actually dismounted before engaging the British tanks, taking the MG's with them.  Apologies for the error!

Any chance of a photo of the Seabrook?

I'm getting the pics done for all the releases tonight hopefully, but it looks like this:

But as wargamers there are all sorts of 'what-if' possibilities and scenarios. There was lots of concern that the Panhards would 'come out to play'.

If we can postulate a modern British civil war we can certainly imagine an armoured scrap in the Falklands.
