Syrian BTR 152

Haven't posted anything on the Arab/IDF war.   This is the camo I had planned for my BTR 152

Neulandia Campaign. Revenge for the surprise attack on the river.

  Rightfully wroth at the treatment given to Her Majesty's surveying expedition the Full Might and Righteous Anger of the Britannic Forces were brought to bear against the "bandits" that were responsible. Deep suspicions about the way in which the "bandits" had acquired a cannon in the last battle were set quietly aside (no doubt these will be addressed soon!) on the theory that you can only solve one problem at a time

 Spurning the offer of a couple of regiments of local troops the English began to hunt the bandits. By a series of rapid marches the British were able to trap the Bandit army before it could escape to its mountain fastness; the speed of their retreat was shown by the fact that the Bandits discarded their cannon during their flight. All was to no avail as they were trapped in a narrow valley just miles short of their mountain home. Knowing that escape was now impossible they turned like cornered rats to face the Fury of the Sons of Albion.

the bandit army deployed to cover the escape of its baggage train their flanks were well secured

 but the vast open area between the armies did not bode well against the firepower of the Brits

in an attempt to bring the Brits to battle the Bandits advanced

the British waited and lashed the enemy with concentrated rifle fire

the next turn saw the bandit line begin to fall apart 

with the cavalry and elephants suffering particularly badl

one elephant made it into contact and the "Devils in dresses" fought heroically;

losing four of their own but slaying the fearsome beast

elsewhere the effective British fire pined most of the bandit line

The general joined the cavalry to try to rally them 

just before they took fire from the British artillery

our more were slain including the Bandit leader 

(his fetish for dressing as Teddy Roosevelt will forever go unexplained now)

blivious to the carnage to their right a unit of Ghazis charged through the woods

and caught the Boer Mounted Infantry and wiped them out to a ma

hey now found themselves alone and far ahead of the rest of the army

nd soon felt the power of British rifles being wiped out in their turn

the rest of the bandit force slipped away into the evening gloom

 A very lop-sided win for the Sons of Albion, but they had not recovered the prisoners or stamped out the bandit menace. Pursuit was a must, failure was not an option, an example must be set!

The narrative and photos about where provide by my good friend Anton.   The devil in the skirts are my Black watch Highlander.   Their support was provide by an Elite Irish regiment.  Along with some Boers from South African ( They hate the Ghazi so no quarter was given). The Lancers are the 10th Hussar who had been reluctant to engage the enemy at first.  The Pom Pom was crew by an elite squad of Britannia's finest Marines.  The expedition held true to the finest example of British military courage.  Part of the revenge is complete.  Click on the link acquired canon in last battle for the reason for the expedition

National WW1 Museum in Kansas City. Hundred Anniversary of WW1

The is Hundred years since WW1 not may events going to about it.  The war to end all wars.  Only to lead to the Second War because of poor policies by government.   The National WW1 is  a treasure of that period of time.   One should visit it or at least put it on your bucket list.

New recruits for Neulandia Campaign.

The need to explore the island is going to required Naval forces.  The Naval branch now has been tasked to provide  inland and high seas protection.   Shortly a Naval shore party (Marines) will becoming.  Nothing like the  cold steel of the British Marines.

Now all I have to do is paint my new Marines from Studio Miniatures.   Talk about some really nice sculpts.  These 28mm miniatures fit in very nicely with my Perry Miniatures...

Amazing what you can create with foam broad.

This was created by Johnny Frazer-Alien.  These pictures are off a his face book post.

This is what Johnny had to say.

Hey guys, loving the group, great craft to be passionate about! here are some pics of a gaming table i made primarily out of blue foam and a little balsa wood for a fantasy project i illustrated through sculpture called the Gloaming nearly a decade ago. Its in storage now between exhibitions, but getting it back soon to finally have a game on it.
