Hi All!
Lately I have been dedicated to the great war, here are some pictures of the my new army in 10mm  Pendraken:

It is the "Slesian" division of Germany, who fought in Caporetto (Kobarid) in 1917:

Nice looking figures from probably  ( In my opinion) the nastiest and sadly much overlooked set of battles from WW1
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Good looking figures. Shame I can't get mine to go on with any ease.

Nice.

Two questions - which rules? And which models are the guns - they look quite funky, a cross between modern and old.

The guns look a lot like Austro-Hungarian 106mm howitzers. Maybe the Germans have borrowed them or maybe they are Austrians painted as Germans?

When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.

You'll have to address the question to the Soldier of Lead Ry. My best guess is the A-H howitzer. Figures are either late German or late A-H.

Thank you all guys!  :)

@Fenton
You're right! You're right! The First World War was something terrible, and certainly out of Caporetto have written so many things that are not true ..

@Fred 12df
The rules we use preferably, are Blitzkrieg Commander and Crossfire (Adapted to the First World War). Now I'm reading panzer8 ..

@Ryman1
Correct! They are a mix of German and Austro-Hungarian WWI Pendraken : the project is not yet completed.

@Dour Puritan
Correct! The guns are Austro Hungarian (From: http://www.kaiserjaeger.com/) : Mountain Artillery.


Leman

Thanks for that. After Dux Britanniarum the next army to go under my Brush is Austro-Hungarian 1914/15.
