Hello- Does anyone have pics of the Darkest Africa British Naval Officers? I'm not sure about the youngster with open tunic and vest. Heck, I don't even know...
I ask myself that every day. I think the problem must be the alternate historians. ... From: tsofian@... what the heck is wrong with "alternative history" ...
Actually, that doesn't sound too far off: Odd word-forms are oft to be found when speaking a language not one's own. For some reason it hits my ears as...
I happened to be visiting a pet shop and saw that they had a huge sale on their aquarium supplies - reduced by33% and buy one get one free - excellent stuff...
... My Dear Chap, Any youngster would have to be a middie (Midshipman) otherwise known as a snottie. Ensigns belong with the Brigade (of Guards) , wot? ...
Stephen, Other than making bases for those that need them and a quick dusting of Dullcoat, I use most of the aquarium plants as is. That's part of the beauty...
Hey Hive, I was looking thru the Maj Gen's figure availability listings and went to the co. that's making the old Scruby figs. Right now (thru Aug.) ALL 25mm...
The Scruby 25mms are "True 25s" with a vengance. They are a little bit more petite than Ral Parthas. As much as it pains me to say it, they are considerably ...
Nope, A snotty he is. We've stopped sending midshipmen to sea - except on summer training cruises - so it's less likely that they would be involved in a...
My own favourite is 'alternating history' where we take turns to have it the way we choose, then switching back and forth. Hitler-- dictator? or successful...
I think Jay hits the size of the (Scruby) 25's right on the nose - "True 25s" - Personally, I've never thought of these as crude - simple, yes, but crude?,...
Given the response rate to this I suggest “Alternative Hysteria”. Alan Visit my wargames web site at http://myspace.virgin.net/alan.hamilton2/index.htm ...
A spray of matt varnish works for a while but you need to wash them in soapy water and rinse thoroughly before spraying or the spray can sometimes go into...
As a historian, I must admit I prefer the term 'alternate history' rather than 'counterfactual'. The latter is a compound word that is derived from two words...

In agreement with Mike Taber, I think that his term of "simple" may be better than the one that I used. Certainly I have great pride in my older Scruby legions...
I saw the ACW figures at Hcon & thought they might be useful for casualty figures if you clip off the bases. I've not seen the Banana wars figures. Mark...
I would agree with Jay's assessment. My favorite Scruby figures are his older 30mm Napoleonic & his Franco Prussian. He also made 1" Crimean figures. These all...
They do look a bit glossy, but they don't look like they would take paint very well, so I don't bother. I just rationalise that the tropical rain and humidity...
Here's my after action report from the Invitational game at Historicon: I discovered that to become the Great Pathan Chief, one doesn't have to volunteer, all...
... I'll second Jay and Mike on this. I LIKE Scruby's. Yes, they aren't as detailed as more recent figures. They also aren't on steroids. Let's face it,...
Dear Milton, The pleasure of finally meeting was all mine! Of course, I ALREADY knew you were not Randy Fung--or even his cousin, Steven Lum. However, I was...
Hi everybody ! I plan to play little skirmish games with canadian militia soldiers against irish Fenian army volunteers. These raids and battles took place...
Actually, the Warrior Miniatures 'deals' which work out to 40p/figure including shipping are about .66 US all the time. Including shipping. Cheaper in the UK. ...
Stephen....I'd wash them in detergent first to get off any mold release and that will tone down the shine a bit. Sometimes it does the job completely. Some of...
I would suggest... 'A game'. (In our case a Great Game...) All in all, unless you're as pedantic as am I, it doesn't really matter. And if you're as pedantic...
I'd agree with Bob in regards to terminology, as well. Counterfactualism seems to smack of talking about things that are lies or half truths. I'm prepared to...
Richard....I haven't seen the figures but I did buy the Central American walled farm and was not very happy with it. It's cast in resin and has some nice...
