Pierre pretty much nailed it on the head, but I thought I would add my two-cents worth by saying that I prefer the "top of head to bottom of feet" comparison....
I had the same problem with my Napoleonics (see www.deepfriedhappymice.com my website that adresses the issue). The considered opinion seems to be that units...
I have seen a number of suggestions on the internet for painting up miniatures in a hurry. There is, of course, the well-known "miracle dip" in which you do a...
Every do often we all have those "why didn't I think of that" moments. I just had one of those at your page, about the alligator clips of course. I've seen...
You're right, the only "clue" given is in the troop lists, which give the dismounted tank crews brave status. I'll make a note to include the extra morale...
Maritime Supremacy & The Opening Of The Western Mind, by Peter Padfield. It's a history book with an excellent account of trade, economy, monarchy, and the...
We sometimes have a little discussion about the cover class of tanks, when they are shot at using direct artillery; in that case the tank counts either as a...
As we've been playing the 1916 game for more than 3 years now, some ways of handling the rules have slipped into our use of them. I have a refreshing question...
The second part of my article on speed painting a regiment is now online. See all the details at: http://www.deepfriedhappymice.com/html/speedregt2.html...
I think attaching them to something would be fairly easy. What I would do is get a wood dowel and drive nails through, then glue the clips to the nails (or...
There is, I believe, a painting factory in Sri Lanka already - not sure of the name though. Cheers, Thomo the Lost Thomo's new Hole: http://thomo.coldie.net/ ...
And I can hardly wait for part III. Get those brushes out Mark. I shall now return to painting some 1/600th coastal vessels - but you are tempting me more and...
... Yeah, and use lead-arsenic based paints and harp seal hair brushes for the highest quality matte finish. ;) Actually, a friend of mine with a small crafts...
I think the direct artillery fire chart was calibrated to take into account the condition and size of the tank itself. The reason that a towed gun (with...
There's a couple divisions I'd be interested in seeing some details: the 238th, 77th Reserve Division, 4th Guards Division, and the 228th Division. I don't ask...
I think first of all that it is great that the 1916 rules are kept simple; the more rules, the more discussion during play will occurr on ways of how to...
Ha, piece of cake. I'm headed out the door for the weekend, but here's a quick outline of a couple: 228th: Formed in Sedan area may 1917, composed of 35th...
Hi Jim, Forgive my ignorance of 18th century naval battles (no lashes, please!) but how does an admiral, using Admirality, blow enemy ships out of the water?...
Alon, Heres my take on your question. It is also why I like the rules better than most out there. Even though it did happen on occasion, ships were not...
Greetings, I just wanted to make sure that I understand the concept of units and bases correctly. For example, in a 1940 Commonwealth infantry battalion, there...
Regarding the 228th Divisions "failure on the Somme in the spring (of 1918)", would this failure be the battle in Villers-Brettonneux where the first tank vs....
Yes, as Steve mentioned, blowing an enemy ship out of the water is not really so easy. A ship can take terrific punishment and even many of the severely...
Accoording to "Fighting Ships" by David Davies, 16 ships of the combined French and Spanish fleet were taken by the British, of which 10 where subsequently...
The failure mentioned started with the battle of Picardy, near Le Hamel, north of Marceclave between March 29th and April 13. The 207th Reserve Regiment at...
Below are a few notes and questions that have come to mind as I read through several previous discussions about Japanese shell performance at Tsushima. Just a...
Will sell or trade for 15 mm Napoleonic cavalry - any nation, unpainted ONLY. All troops are Peninsular, in stovepipe shako. Division includes: 12 Inf. Command...
A daughter with bronchitis, which she shared with me, and a disaster with an ink wash nearly derailed the project, but it's finished. In exactly 4 hours a...
Great to see you finish the figures and they did not look too bad at all. Er, did you work out why the ink wash behaved the way it did? Cheers, Thomo the Lost ...
I have discovered that segmented shell was actually a special type of ammunition (presumably for small and/or mid sized guns) designed in the 1880s for use...
