I am looking forward to massed Zulu Impis though.<br /><br />All the best and stay well,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-49405340604989967462020-04-25T11:54:46.403+01:002020-04-25T11:54:46.403+01:00Hi Steve J,

On a smaller sized grid it will truly be a Portable Wargame!<br /><br />The current situation we find ourselves in is a good opportunity to ferret around in the dusty recesses of our collections - who knows what treasures can be found?<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-85441183692443940112020-04-25T09:58:59.613+01:002020-04-25T09:58:59.613+01:00For some reason I an reminded of a dude who used f...For some reason I an reminded of a dude who used for his modern warfare armies, rivets to represent infantrymen. The rivet head made a fine helmet; the rest of the rivet 'suggested' the rest of the infantryman. Beggared if I know why you posting should trigger that memory. I recall being rather taken with the idea.<br /><br />Somewhere in my inventory is a bunch of 1:300 WW2 tanks painted up in primary colours (red, blue, green...) to represent the major powers of a war game I was thinking of building, based on some pioneer work by several Auckland University students about 45 years ago. Another reminder your post has triggered. <br /><br />Good post!Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-18952362679586801072020-04-25T09:21:39.587+01:002020-04-25T09:21:39.587+01:00Micro Scale... welcome to the Dark Side.
