Title: Patterson Blick action transfer books
Post by: goat major on 05 April 2011, 10:19:24 AM
Anyone else remember these ? A proto-wargamers dream of a history book (unless you bought the one on ballet of course). I think my favourite was D-Day but there were some other cracking ones too - the sioux uprising and WWI being especially good.

Ahhh! Happy days of 1970's childhood.
Not sure if they were the same range; but I loved the Batman ones on a huge fold out sheet.

Oh wow! I completely forgot all about these and as others have said they spirited me back to the 70's. I used to get the perspective wrong on some of the rub down figures and end up with a soldier floating in the sky or more frustrating the transfer would wrinkle resulting in a deformed figure. I loved the art work that accompanied the text. Well done goat major for finding the site
