The photos bring it all to life, and I just love your figs.<br />(By the way, are your figs based on MDF?)<br /><br />Someone should keep that Captain Verbeek on a short chain or something. How many men did he get killed altogether? Perhaps he should have his own bodyguard.<br /><br />Great stuff!

They'd be a great size for 15mm.<br /><br /><br />-- JeffBluebear Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07595975572873838050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33041938.post-86135295046794433872009-09-18T02:35:34.131+00:002009-09-18T02:35:34.131+00:00Very nice report.

Glad to see Verbeek and Tuefel made it back into imperial hands. Veilendank!!! Would your rules translate into other superior armed small forces against a mob i.e. zulu, black hawkdown etc.?Prinz Geoffreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16409013870510548637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33041938.post-47265864933504174452009-09-17T21:18:25.084+00:002009-09-17T21:18:25.084+00:00...ah yes, the true scale.. but in 15mm could I ge......ah yes, the true scale.. but in 15mm could I get away with a tennis ball (covered in papier mache, painted etc etc etc) I wonder???Steve-the-Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077311120172727690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33041938.post-71420751789835519332009-09-17T21:00:31.852+00:002009-09-17T21:00:31.852+00:00Great report!
