I'm sure the British (and other nations) would never try to ship horses, but simply (simply ? I'm not really an equestrian myself :-)) use Martian beasts. They...

After some soul-searching I've decided to limit my Colonial projects to 10mm, and so with a heavy heart am parting ways with two complete forces of *unpainted*...
Can anyone tell me the proper pronunciation for Spion Kop? Is it S-pee-on or Spy-on or perhaps something else? Kop I assume is pronounced like cop not...
No, Christopher. Say it aint so! Paint those 28mm Legionaires! They are crying out for your brush-manly war game figures that deserve a good coat of paint-...
Hello John, "Spion Kop" is pronounced "S-pee-on Cop". "Spion" is the Dutch word for "spy" and "Kop" means "hill" (South African). The Dutch word "spionnetje"...
May I support Mark in this ? Christopher, I guarantee you WILL be sorry some day. That you think NOW "I will never use those (beautiful) figures" does not mean...
I'm with you. While I never liked 25-28 (too big), I'm dumping all my 15's except for Boxer TSATF and moving solely into 6 and 10mm. As I age, the view of the...
Pictures of my Siege of Chitral Game can be found at: http://home.earthlink.net/~ebagweb/04.05.29-Kublacon-files/04.0 5.29-Kublacon.html I ended up using 800FE...
Dear All, Sure enough, with less than a week to go before "John Company" heads for the publishers and a HistoriCon release date, a last minute change in OB for...
Henry, I am not joking. Have a look at http://news.bbc.co.uk/sportacademy/bsp/hi/cricket/rules/fielding_positions/html/default.stm to see an example of a...
Hello All, Can anyone tell me if the French used naval landing parties in their colonial campaigns in the 19th Century, besides in Madagascar in the 1840's?...
Cricket is a fantastic game, that is confusing if you don't know what's going on, but if you do, it's incredibly absorbing - good on you for trying to get to...
I know they used landing parties in the Crimea, China and in Mexico in the 1850's and 1860's. But that was in the older uniform. Nick Stern ... their ... ...
John (RommelDAK) is near completion of his Civil War strategy game. I've set up a forum over at my place to assist him in testing it. If you are into...
Don't have ready access to any of my references, but didn't the French also have their landing parties on the beach in the Indo-Chinese actions in the 1870's?...
The hour is at hand! We've had a pretty decent response to our poll at Great Endeavours, and are pleased to say, so long as the interest is there, that some ...
I think they were used everywhere including some landings in North Africa( but only on the coast) so go right ahead. Mark Stevens ... From: Bruce Pettipas...
And in international matches the colonials mostly win (at least in "modern" times). ... From: Bob Cordery To: ColonialWars@yahoogroups.com ; Chick Lewis Sent:...
I've skipped over several posts but from what I have seen, Bob knows his cricket. Beating the British at the game is an Australian habit but I'm somewhat fond...
In this respect cricket is very like wargaming - it is ungentlemanly to invite someone to play your game and then not to let them win (at least that is the...
Pakistan has fielded some excellent teams in the past, and Imran Khan (a Pathan and captain of the Pakistan team who exhibited all the intelligent cunning [and...
George: that is because the link is "wrapped". Just use the WHOLE link (that is including "5.29-Kublacon.html") and you will see the (very nice !) pictures. ...
Hi, I recently ordered some 25mm online from Redoubt. The order was short on figures, but they still managed to charge me for the missing figs AND postage....
Those of you who, like I, lurk about the Major General's page have seen the "Cobra IMP" vehicle he proposes turning into a landship....evidently it is still...
