So I've cleaned off the accumulated rubbish which has gathered on the tabletop and thought - "what shall I do next?" - there where many canditates, but I decided on my 40mm Imaginations which have not been on the table for a while .It will be a border clash between the forces of Treboria and Ferraro Rocher .
We are luck to have the first hand witness account from Mark Twain (Samuel Langhorne Clemens) who was spending a quiet holiday in a local cottage . He we see him looking on as the Treborian General Staff survey the battlefield.
Mark Twain wrote " I was awoken early and looking out of my bedroom window I saw a Artillery piece unlimbering on the road below my cottage" . He wrote a short piece about this incident for 'Harpers Weekly' , but I have not been able to track this down yet.
Some of the Treborian forces patroling the Great Border Road , Reservists being lead by the famous British Legione
The Ferraro Rocherian forces move forward to capture the important road and cut the lines of communications for Treboria.. Nearest the camera two units of Regulars , then two units of Reserve Infantry in column .
The Ace up the Rocherian sleeve - a unit of the new ' Soldatii de Furtuna' , who are armed with the experimental 'Grenade ale mortii' , they are lead by the infamous Colonel Velkro ! . A battle report to follow .....
An excellent beginning Tony! I love all of the gloss figures, they look wonderful! The inclusion of Mark Twain is a real twist, I look forward to the next installment!
ReplyDeleteThese 40mm are some of my favourite figures, lucky that Mark Twain was there to record the incident.
ReplyDeleteMy own war correspondent, from Redia, is Winston Churchwood. The author HG Walls is another war commentator.
