Very nice looking game. What scale and which manufacturers?

Now that, looks like a WWI battle! Great job!

Thanks.

The figures are 10mm from Pendraken.

Irish Guards in there?

Quite possibly. We only determined that the Division on this flank was a 'good' regular army formation. It performed quite well in capturing a sector of German trenches and dealing ruthlessly with the inevitable counterattack. So it may well have been The Guards Division.

On the far flank the New Army Division also did well to seize part of the German lines, but it had suffered heavy losses and was grimly holding on.
