... Hash: SHA1 ... This is the terminology I understand as well -- a `stand' is multiple figures on a single base, a `base' holds a single figure (and may be ...

Got a copy of a book on the BR by an Italian, Adriano Madaro, 'The Boxer Rebellion', Treviso: Europrint, 2001 which puts forward the idea that the German...
Finally got hold of a copy of Vol 6, which includes China, for the BR. It's even better than Norie, the Official History, in some of the detail! The volume...

Hi Mike, Thanks for the heads up ! Looking up Mittal Publications I realized this is not the first time I have heard of them. The comlete series (7 volumes)...
I've done some fairly extensive research on the subject and have yet to come across a single account that would lead any credence to the notion. I think your...
Ross Thanks for that - I take your point on O'Connor - his is a very Amricano-centric view of events too, I recall. What were the German accounts - did they...

Bob, NIce looking figures--I've always liked the way plastic figures are proportioned! I wondered abot the guys with rifles, though. I'm not a Zulu War guy,...
David, Other than avoiding the recoil there is no advantage to the Zulu "rifle butt over the shoulder" shot. Basically the Zulu used firearms to "soften up"...
