Rules for 2023

[Sean Clark]

The rise of Germany, 1870 to 1939 was my History O level, with a stop off for the Russian revolution. Brilliant.

[Smiley Miley 66]

My studies of O level history was the history of churches and medicine so I opted out halfway through to do extra Art.
The years before it was the study of the industrial revolution through to WW2 which would have been fantastic for myself. I was looking forward to doing that. I have never forgiven the school for changing the criteria

Another niche, could be Conquistadors? Small high(er) tech raids etc vs Natives

Would build on the Longships/Sudan/Vietnam theme?

Could also cover the original settlers in N Amerca ie English/Indian.

Potential off shoots to the setting up of colonies around the globe?

[Smoking gun]

My History O level consisted of politics in the UK. Ages on Corn Laws and all sort of reforms. Was so interesting I got a C lol.   No idea how though. Maybe everyone else thought it equally boring so sympathy grades were awarded.

The above was my O level syllabus so I opted for the other subject in that time slot, technical drawing, which I thought would be marginally more interesting. I didn't do well in the exam but it has been useful.

Best wishes,
Martin Buck

[Colonel Kilgore]

I did the same, Martin. And equally I've found those Technical Drawing skills useful!

The same happened to me as a teacher, but fortunately the year after I finished teaching my last ever GCSE group. The syllabus changed from including an in-depth study of World War I Western Front, with trench warfare as the coursework, to late C20th warfare in the Middle East, in which I have no interest in or knowledge of. Didn't even consider it as history in 2009.

[Leman (Andy)]

A few landsknechts really brighten up a table.

[Sean Clark]

It is a very colourful period. Great work Richard. Looks like you're ahead of the game on this one 

[John Watson]

What make are the figures Richard?

[Leman (Andy)]

I'll have a stab at 10mm Pendraken.

[Colonel Kilgore]

I'd hazard a guess at Mike's Models?

Simon

[Richardwills]

Hi John,

As others have guessed, my Renaissance men are mainly Pendraken 10mm with some Old Glory .
