Title: British highlanders for late war ww1
Post by: Rifleman65 on 11 June 2016, 03:09:48 AM
I would like to see some British highland infantry for ww 1, with the kilt and tin helmet. I have lots of them in bonnets.

Am I to believe no one wants these?

Maybe you would have more takers if the post was headed "Scots Highlanders", or even just "highlanders"?   Folks can be awfully sensitive!    :-\

North British Highlanders maybe? :)

As a Scot I doubt anyone interested in the figures is going to be terribly put off by the terminology.

Personally, it's just not an area of interest for me at the moment.

Zagros Mountain highlanders on the other hand ... say, Gutians or Lullubi  would be a different matter! Though having opted for 6mm for my Sumerians they'd have to be from "another place" :)

WWI doesn't do it for me unless it's all string and canvas.

Oh, dear, hope nobody's given you the wrong idea. You're new here, so may need it explained: any rational and wargames-related post (like yours here) is almost certain to be hijacked withing three responses. This is not a reason for you to worry about whether you've offended anyone (or mislaid your sanity).

Wot the Kat said.

Wonder if the late WWI ones could stand in for 1940 Highlanders?  :-\



You do have to be careful with Techno when raising the subject. He gets this wicked look in his eye and starts chanting "there can be only one!". Seems a Highlander with a French accent did him a disservice in 1786, and he rather lost his head over it.

I know his name.  :P

(I've said that, before.)
