Elsasson, First off, Ral Partha doesn't really exist any more, so unfortunately, it's unlikely they'll be producing anything soon! That's why I've tried to...
Winston Churchill mentions a Colt mg being a "pink" color-presumably a pinkish khaki. I think the khaki paint was obtained locally so it might range from a...
Hello all. I have just updated my website with photos from the MFCA 2004 Show. This is the show held annually at the Valley Forge Convention Center. When you...
Spicer-Simpson had tatoos on his arms and torso. National Geographic Channel did a program a couple of years ago with reenactors that showed him with various...
Last night I watched Zulu Dawn and the monumental scenes of the battle of Ishandlwana. When watching the scene that the rocket battery is overrun I became...
Ah, a very good question indeed. The tale of the rocket battery, while admittedly the tiniest of side show tot he battle continues to attract attention. So...
... [<<Reply>>] Yes it's funny how these little things can jump you at times :o) ... [<<Reply>>] No worries. It was actually very enlightening. And probable...
... Probably. The USAAF found this out the hard way in North Africa. Not only did the khaki on the upper surfaces of their aircraft go pink, but the...
Like my earlier post, Durnford was rushing to Glynn's aid, he had no intention of supporting Russell because no one expected the Zulu where they were. That...

Rick, I think that is a fairly good representation of what the Russell Battery was doing. I might add that Major Russell had only two tubes that were carried...

I've been in similar terrain in the US Southwest and what appears to be dead flat turns out to be a maze of shallow and sometimes not so shallow channels that...
Hive, Someone recently suggested including limbers with any new Ral Partha figures. Until that happens, you could always do what I did - buy a couple of the...
The RAFM limber in their American Civil War range looks good to me. I have used them for colonial limbers. Jay Stribling ps. Had to pry those Union ACW riders...
Dear All, If you can find them, Frontier Miniatures used to make a bang-on British Limber with six horse team and limber riders. I have several for my Brits...
Does anyone recall when the British switched from the "two hump" limber to the "one hump"? I know they were using the two hump during the Indian Mutiny. Nick...
Hi, I am interested in adding to my collection of engravings dealing with colonial subjects, particularly if these illustrations can be found in the format of...

Hello Hive, Just thought I would let you know my hard drive crashed and I have been sorting it out. Until I get my email files transefered from the old drive I...

The warning probably was not Russell's intent, I agree to a point. However, Durnford was facing the wrong way for the Zulu Chest and probably could see the...

This seems reasonable to me. Nourse and "D" must have been deployed behind the rockets because the Zulu volley took out most of the rocket crews. It would...
