Title: Balkan War Greeks proxies?
Post by: KTravlos on 08 February 2015, 10:46:23 PM
Gentlemen

What figures could I use to proxy these troops (Greek army 1912-1913)

Infantry

Evzones (Light Infantry)

How about WW1 Austro Hungarian in cap for the top one?

Is there anything in the SCW section that could proxy for the second one?

Hi KTravlos

You could try RJW Japanese for infantry:-

Maybe the Highlander in glengarry (released yet?) could be used for Evzones:-
