[Sean Clark]

That's good for me. Book me in.

[Sean Clark]

Keep your eye out for loose arrows.

[Leslie BT]

So what are the armies to be played?

[martin goddard]

My thoughts Les were that any  army can be used.
This is because only some of those attending are also playing in the Square bashing RCW day.

I shall bring a Russian army (WHITE) in order to test it out for the RCW day.

Players can bring two different armies if they wish. A morning one and an afternoon one.

[Colonel Kilgore]

Sounds great, but I'm afraid I can't do mid-week.

Looks as though you have a great line-up of many of the usual suspects, Martin!

I shall be bringing either the Russian Red Army Early War or RCW Red Shock Army 1918-20 depending on how many figures I can rustle up. Needles to say they are prepared to push back the forces of reactionary imperialism to preserve the Bolshevik revolution. Power to the people and down with the bourgeoise supported counter revolution - on to Berlin.

Martin, my Germans will be mascarading, cunningly, as late war British to try to confuse the enemy and their own high command.

[Sean Clark]

Red or White RCW army for me.

I'm beginning to think it's time the Russians found a new motive for their existence, at least their leaders anyway.

[Bankinista]

Julian's right. Just be careful not to confuse role-play with real life.

I have just made a SB snow mat. 
4x3 feet.
That is half a Geek Villain snow mat.
It is a really nice texture.
Might make my White army foot bases snowy, but that does limit them a bit.


Anyone want the other half for £20?

Itll be useful for recreating scenes from Dr Zhivago. Tom Courtney steaming through snowing landscapes on his train.

I painted the first 4 units of my red army this week. Two Red Guard units and 2 units in greatcoats. Ive also painted four more white units. One of which according to the Osprey book needs wolf tails on its standard rather than a flag!
