You should have waited until the 1st of February, these would be a dead cert to do well in the painting competition. :)
Unless you have something else up your sleeve for that!

No Mk IVs in Messpot. :D
Well yeah...still an interesting campaign

I know. It's just not fair is it?

Sorry Ray - there were 3-4, used to carry up stores.
See the New Vangaurd on the Mk IV.

Nice work :-bd
Saw some of these at World and couldn't believe how long and narrow they were; always thought they were chunkier. The dude with the display told me there were several different mks.
Not an area I know a lot about. Additionally, I've always wondered how you game in what was essentially a stagnant war.
I realise I am probably going to get ripped apart for the above :-[

I dunno. Looks about right to me!
The early part of WWI, late 1918 and the more exotic campaigns had lots of maneuvering. Wargaming the trenches requires more thought (and terrain) but it can be done.
Great War Spearhead has a nice little system for recreating static warfare and bombardments ...I think with some of the battles you need to break it down into smaller actions..If you ever get a chance to go to Bovington you will see how small they are . I dont know if they still have the one you can go inside but they are rather cramped

Mesopotamia was anything but static. The campaign went from the Shatt-al-Arab in the Persian Gulf to Baghdad and well beyond and involved the surrender of one significant British force at Kut-al-Amara.
I bow to your wisdom :)
I think this further reinforces the comments on another thread about misconceptions around WWI.
Not a period I play but one I may decide to collect.

Thank you for your kind words ;)

Say whut! Anyone got a good book title for WWI in the Middle/Near east? ~X(
(And like a sports car being driven by George Michael, FSN's plans veer off course again.)

This is an excellent book, covering the campaign from the fall of Baghdad to the Turkish surrender. It contains some really beautiful maps. A little on the pricey side, however.
