Hi David, Have you checked on "I aint been shot, mum!" yet? It uses a 1 figure = 1 man/tank scale and concentrates on platoon actions so you wont need to break...
[SNIP Harry's reply] ... space. 50 or so infantry bases per side is enough for Gettysburg. I just have a few more guns to do, then I'll get everything...
Hi, I was cleaning the flash off of GHQ figures last night & was surprised how flimsy they seemed. I'd worked with Baccus ECW figures before & they seemed...
The short answer is to buy from a different manufacturer. I had a similar problem some years ago with the Heroics and Ros World War 2 infantry. Horrible ...

No, but you can use a stiff drink after the game :-) Apparently their more recent productions use a different alloy and are more rugged. Cheers ... them ... to...
But the Italians from GHQ are not that good the officers dont wear the right uniforms [Kepi's went out in 1932 ish IIRC] and the figures vary from 5-8 mm tall...
Again, thanks for all of the help, mates. You've certainly opened my eyes to how rich this hobby is. And special thanks to Rich...from the list here, who...
If GHQ won't fix your problem, I have a suggestion, that might help. You are not going to like my suggestion, but I've had to do it in the past when a batch of...
Hi David, Just so you know, GHQ use pewter, not alloy. Its melting point is VERY LOW. Suffice it to say that when I do repairs on eBay purchased figures I use...
RUBBISH! Model soldiers are made from alloys (usually mainly lead and tin, with a few other nasties thrown in - though some manufacturers are using 'lead-free'...
I avoid flimsy figures by using models with the figs in prone "action poses". http://www.rock-con.com/Mainforce/mainforceminis.html They're not to everyone's...
Folks, Double Exposure is proud to announce DEXCON 10, July 18 - 22, 2007 at the East Brunswick Hilton in East Brunswick, NJ. Full information about the...
I have never experienced this problem with H&R figures, and have have quite a few in various periods. What I do find is that from time to time I get fogures on...
... So you reckon you can heat a *white metal* wargames figure to cherry red heat without it melting???? I'd love to see you do that, because it flies in the...
Our lead-free metal works best at around 290șC, more than the old lead-based one but not hugely - at which state it looks like mercury. It does begin to...

I agree with the comment regarding infantry being the most under represented arm in WW2 and modern games at least in most games. Most people forget just how...
You know, I do distinctly remember saying that this MIGHT be a solution ... I even changed the subject. As for "cherry red", you've got that descriptor stuck...
You can use them for convoy scenarios and they are good for night time illumination of the battlefield (when they burn) Actually I rarely use them myself...
The cherry red descriptor was my mistake. However, heating metal, and then rapidly cooling it, will certain harden the metal. Sincerely, I've done it many...
I don't do WW2, but ancients and Napoleonics in which long pole arms, muskets & swords are always bending and breaking. I solved this by painting my figures...
