Been a while since I last got my hands on a decent grab-bag of secondhand army men, managed to find a couple promising lots on ebay.

I just received an order in the mail from Armies in Plastic for The French & Indian Wars in 54mm/1:32. I am putting together a campaign over on >>>/qst/ [//boards.4chan.org/qst/] that will revolve around the rangers (white team, pc) vs. the French (blue team, gm/dm), and the Native Americans (red team, PvP). This game will be based on an army standard topographical grid map of The Niagara Gorge. This game will follow d6 rules which will be playtested in the eventual thread. Stay tuned /amg/

It was a hard fought battle, but in the end Green just couldn't overcome Tan's defenses on the beachhead.

We must protect the wall.. with a wall.
Also, that's a BIG fortification.Are they raiding the cart - or is it a heist?

Welp, the threat of rain is minimal and though a bit chilly, it's tolerable. However, wind is a steady 20 klicks, gusting to 45... the last time I attempted something with even modest complexity under those conditions it was an ordeal and a half, even with the containers to one side as an improvised windbreak (slightly visible in this outtake). I know when I'm beat, the Wall will have to wait. Maybe I'll pop out later for some smaller stuff.

What a week... been bedridden with some ailment, maybe hopefully coming out of it finally.Random question, how do you crew your artillery pieces? I can remember like three decades on now, one of my first sets was red British 8th Army versus blue Germans and the Brits were given a couple small field guns (Union Jack stickers on the gun shields). That Airfix-copied army has relatively few poses compared to others but among them is a standing (or marching) soldier with rifle at port arms; invariably they would end up crewing the guns, usually two per gun as they were the smaller version. The Germans didn't have a comparable pose so I can't remember who would serve if they managed to capture one, or if that ever happened at all heh.Many sets would include one or more artillery pieces, either the small or regular versions of the Brit 25-pounder (originally by Fencibles I think) like the ones mentioned above, or more likely the near-ubiquitous field gun that usually came in brown and was as generic as you can get. Typically if it was a WW2-modern set it would come with small wheels; for cowboys and indians it got larger wagon wheels to appear more like the artillery of the day. Speaking of, it was always the guys holding their rifles casually at their waist who would be in charge of the guns, occasionally backed up by other poses for variety.Was just thinking on it cuz it occurred to me I didn't even know there were artillery crew army men until I got my first Civil War set. There's definitely options out there but is expensive to get even one crew; they usually come with their own gun as well so that doesn't solve things for the rest of the arsenal.

I've been thinking of getting the Safari toob of Zombies, maybe two of them so I can maybe rig a zomboid-style game to play with my plastic dudes.I also want to get some of their animals for general hijinks; maybe you can rescue them for an NGO like in MGSV, maybe they're a hazard when your PMC is touring Africa, or maybe a bear ate a local drug lord's stash of cocaine and they are on a rampage.I really want BMC to release their recast of the Airfix Cowboys already. Hopefully they have more Airfix molds to recast in 1/40 scale like Russians and Afrika korps
