Very 'OLD SCHOOL' wargaming. Nice

Thanks for the positive comments … We have been playing without camps on the table (as the intention of the game was a quick start chance for people to try the changed movement and combat dynamics … and because the collection I'd acquired didn't have much in the way of camp components …)… I have ordered some additional bits from Germany, and will post some camp/scenic pictures when they arrive and get added. Glad you liked the armies … Phil

Beautiful work. I am working on putting together a Flats army battle ala Tony Bath as presented in Featherstone's War Games, for the 2012 Historicon. Flats are really cool! Mine are from the 1960's. Old figures, old rules :) Are these still available, painted?

Hi Bob … Thanks. As above, I'm also working on some Greeks and Persians for a Plataea game at this years SoA BattleDay and which will have more 'old school' look about it I think. Inspired by Bath and Featherstone, so maybe not that far from your own project … Are these still available, painted? Finding listings with pictures and prices and paypal seems rare, but they do mostly seems still available direct from Germany. Both painted and unpainted as far as I can tell. I am putting in an order for a few extra bits and pieces I need and I can report back in due course … Phil soawargamesteam.blogspot.com

Those are lovely! Takes me back to leafing through war gaming books in the public library.
