We've got basic forces already made for our 1914 Range -- Germans and French. Question -- what would you rather see right on the heels of those -- Russians or British? What I mean is, which to make next? We'll be making both, of course, |

Since you asked, Russians, Austro-Hungarians and Serbs. |

Russians or Austro-Hungarians |
Joep123 | 30 Jun 2014 7:44 p.m. PST |
British! But if you do Russians next, then the army after that should be Austro-Hungarians. Thanks Joe |

I think you have to do British to get that side finished. Then the Russians. And Austro-Hungarians, etc. What about Gallipoli? :) ps – open up your website! ;) |

If you've done Germans and French, then British are the logical next choice. Russians after that. You may or may not need Austro-Hungarians at the same time. |

That was one arm of my thinking too, Martin. Although the other arm says, "that's a start on the west, now do Russians for the east. That allows an east front option rather than doubling down on the west." As you can see my arms are up in arms against each other. |

While I would agree with most for you to go ahead and finish the Western Front with British, there are a lot of 15/18 mm WW I Brits out there and not so much the Russians and other Eastern forces. On the other arm you might get extra mileage out of doing the Brits with the advent of All Quiet on the Marian Front and the British Expeditionary Forces. I am sure I was helpful. |

Why British? There were more Belgians then British and they did more by keeping several German Corps tied up at Antwerp then the British did as they wandered North and South in France while their General tried to figure out what to do. Much rather see Russians to be honest. Then you could do the battles in East Prussia and Poland. A lot more of those then British vs. German. |

"Why British? There were more Belgians then British" I am sure that is true, however Belgians don't seem to sell that well. Amongst my numerous WW1 army owning acquaintances I can only think of one who has any Belgians. To a lesser extent that is also true of Russians (although I count three, if you include RCW). Whereas pretty well everyone has BEF. It is possibly an un-representative group of course. |

For the British light field gun, the QF 13 pounder first or the 18 pounder? Remember this is for 1914

The only difference was the barrel Jon, so you might be able to kill 2 birds with the one stone! |

That's because it's a pack that a gamer might buy one of (or might not), but they cost the same to produce as riflemen that the gamer will buy scores or hundreds of. In other words the economics of it are quite dodgy. |

Update--British first wave is done, the 13/18 pounder needs painting as does the MG team. British sets: Infantry advancing with moustache Infantry shooting with moustache Infantry advancing without moustache Infantry shooting without moustache Infantry command MG team 13/18 pounder and crew Russians next! Took a little detour to improve the Nikeforian range…. Regulations required that all British Army soldiers wear moustaches. However, as is clear from photos, many soldiers ignored the order. That's why we did the mix of sets. |

As Jon says, moustaches were 'compulsory' in the British Army until 1916. link |
BlackWidowPilot | 21 Sep 2014 10:15 a.m. PST |
So do the Old Contemptibles with the mustaches shoot better than the Territorials without the cookie dusters? Russians next! The Russians are coming! The Russians are coming!
All very cool. Looks like this year I will have to break down and start two (2) new scales covering WW1 and fantasy no thanks to you, Jon. Between your Hobgoblin cavalry and 1914 Great War lines, my resistance to adding to my unpainted lead pile is crumbling fast… Leland R. Erickson Metal Express metal-express.net |

As Jon says, moustaches were 'compulsory' in the British Army until 1916. My impression is that this was only really enforced with officers and – probably – NCO's. As late as 1916, officers were being court martialled for shaving. |
