FirstLegion - AWI - British Light Infantry

Manufacturer:   FirstLegion

Scale:   1:30 (60mm)


Hi,

the ten o´clock postman is just a good guy and brought some new recruits for my AWI-collection of toysoldiers in 60mm (1:30).

FirstLegion is not the cheapest manufacturer of toysoldiers but I got them for quite a good price on eBay.


Cheers

Mike





FirstLegion mixed with figures of other manufacturers - King&Country and JohnJenkinsDesign (the mounted officer is JJD).

A look at the opponents - a mixture of Britains, JJD, FirstLegjon (the one lying on ground) and King&Country (the Hessians behind the fence).

Post about wargaming convention "Tactica 2024" in Hamburg

Hi,

I did a mistake by setting the date of the original post about the wargaming convention "Tactica 2024" in Hamburg. I wanted to publish this post on March 2nd and have chosen the wrong date. So the post was published dated February 1st and I suggest that nobody will notice the post.

So if you are interested in the original post - here is a link to it:

And here is also a link to the website of "Tactica" itself:

JohnJenkinsDesign - "Battle of the Plains of Abraham"

Manufacturer:   JohnJenkinsDesigns

Scale:   60mm (1:30)


Hi,

just a short post about today´s arrival - some reinforcements for my collection of FIW-figures from JohnJenkinsDesign. I was lucky to win an auction on eBay for a very good price. 

These figures are from the range of  "Battle of the Plains of Abraham" and I love the style of uniforms. SevenYearsWar and FrenchIndianWar are my favorite interest.

I will always remember the date of this battle as the British climbed up the hills in the night of September 12th. That´s the birthday of my first daughter. The battle took place on September 13th.

And there is another date I will always remember, too. The date of the battle of Rossbach on November 5th.. This is the birthday of my second daughter.

For the ones who are interested in the "Battle of the Plains of Abraham" - just follow this link.
