Mexican Revolution armies would also be contenders, presumably.

Yes ,  I'm sure there would be. It's a very friendly low key event . Just a chance to play different people

Thanks
Simon

Ok thanks , I'll try and knock up a 15mm army for the event but just in case 👍🏻 cheers Alex

>but normally game in 10mm

Well I reckon you could get away with using your 10mils all you have to do is study this Father Ted clip and then explain the effect of perspective to your opponent....easy. 'Your troops are big, but mine are further away'.

Well I am in. But might need to borrow an Army as my hopes of getting a 1914 army together in time this year went out of the window. Re doing Beachhead, Colours and Stewart's vehicles. Also trying to finish off SCW.
So if Martin can lend me a EW British or German army ? Please.
Hopefully I can get a British Army sorted for 1915 by next year ?
I will buy my ticket at the end of March.

Well, I shall be with you in spirit in the Netherlands running my own solo 1914 Brits v Germans game on that day. Time I painted up some more 3D figures. By the way, if that heading picture makes it onto a T-shirt I'd love one.
