Had a day out with the kids and friends today at Wallington, Northumberland and managed to take a few pics of the model soldier collection there. Not the best of photos (phone) but they give an idea of what's there. Full details are on my blog: link Cheers Andy |

Wow, proper toy soldiers.
They must have had some fun. |

Always loved massed displays of toy soldiers, like that ! Don't see it much, at least on the west coast :( Closest place to me is the Old Toy soldier Home in Vista (San Diego) |

I remember seeing them a few years ago – totally unexpected Wallington itself makes for a nice walk round with the family |

It's a good place for a day out with family. Even in Winter, as long as not raining too much, it's fun – as long as you're dressed for it! I'd been there a few times before I even found out about the Model collection. I really feel there is a lot more they could do with it, but I suppose it's only one part of a big house. Nice to see them though. Next time I go I'll take my good camera and try and get some better shots. Cheers Andy |

I'm intrigued as to what sort of rules they may have used?…. |

Someone mentioned that of three brothers, one was always designated as 'Fate' and determined the number of casualties! Not sure if that applied to all games. |
