As I mentioned I intend to also play "what if..." campaigns, influenced by the Russian Civil War and later Spanish Civil War. <br /><br />My idea now is that the Ludendorff Offensive never occurred, and that the war dragged on until great flu pandemic (Spanish flu) brought an end to hostilities through disease and exhaustion.<br /><br />Why? Mk VIII Liberty tank, British Medium B & C tanks and the Char 2C. Say no more, I like tanks.

I seem to spend my time dealing with the aerial aspect of the conflict. I always look at the Armistice as a cessation of conflict on the Western Front. In the east it was the beginning of several wars which used the same technology and lots of behind the scenes dabbling by Britain to counter what they saw as the Communist threat.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09744800442634708263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262220849718806044.post-5377976269668519982011-08-28T14:01:54.234+01:002011-08-28T14:01:54.234+01:00Close ups to come as and when I can get some decen...Close ups to come as and when I can get some decent pictures sorted out, but I'm really at the limit of my cameras ability.<br /><br />I realise that my formations are at the top end of the games rules framework, but the point is to be able to have a company attack and have a platoon in defence games, from either sides perspective, as I don't favour either faction. <br /><br />I'm just fascinated by the periods transitional aspects where modern machinery changed the shape of warfare i.e; truly the first step on the road to modern warfare we have today.

A warning, if you play M&B don't go crazy with the number of figures because it works better with no more than 10-12 big men per side... and you'll need trenches too!Anibal Invictushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00574972963418062956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262220849718806044.post-6567830556395946732011-08-27T19:45:59.569+01:002011-08-27T19:45:59.569+01:00looking good, like the basing style, yes close pic...looking good, like the basing style, yes close pics please.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00499495967206208750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262220849718806044.post-87987488407438507852011-08-27T17:03:21.632+01:002011-08-27T17:03:21.632+01:00Any chances of some close ups of the painted minis...Any chances of some close ups of the painted minis, they look nice but hard to see properly (with my old eyes!)Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15785517757211882618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262220849718806044.post-31966728901916995112011-08-27T15:52:54.421+01:002011-08-27T15:52:54.421+01:00Looking good Ashley, for a wee bit of encouragemen...Looking good Ashley, for a wee bit of encouragement take a look at my WW1 stuff at http://gordonsgaming.blogspot.com/ its for the other Lardy ruleset ITLSU. As yet unplayed sadly.<br /><br />I'd suggest only painting 2 or 3 platoons of Germans and finishing off the Brit company and a gun or 2, then let the Brits do an attack. Reason is I suppose they tended to do nothing unless they could attack with overwhelming numbers, that and the fact that your Brits look nearer finished. <br /><br />Dont know about the Tommy poses, all mine are a mix of advancing poses but a quick question to Leon on the Pendraken forum should provide an answer.GordonYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05700830322475156170noreply@blogger.com
