Put on a game for the Potomac Wargamers last month -- the Battle of Kozludzha in 54mm, using the rules from All The King's Men.
We had four players: two Ottoman Turkish generals and two Imperial Russian generals.
Figures are 1/32, from a variety of sources: Armies in Plastic, HaT Industries, Barzso, Britains Deetail, Italeri, Tehnolog, Cherilea, BMC, A Call To Arms, and All The King's Men. Here's a write-up of the game: zodanga.blogspot.com |

Very nice, David! How many periods do you do in 54mm? I know about the ECW. |

Stunning work, and very inspirational! |

Fabulous, looks like a lot of fun! |

Gorgeous looking game! I bet it was a lot of fun to play. The figures look great, the terrain looks great. Well done, sir! |

Great stuff. Are the Russians in mitres Hat Prussians? |

Thank you all for the positive feedback! Our group also does World War II, the Magnificent Seven, and the Maximilian Adventure in 54mm. The Russian grenadiers in mitres are plastic figures by Cherilea. I'd like to get some of the HAT Industries 1/32 Prussians, but they've been out-of-production for quite some time now. |

Seeing games like this always makes me regret that I did not go into 54mm when I was younger. |

Though I'll happily game with any scale, there is nothing quite like 54mm for spectacle and fun. |

Awesome! What a colorful, exotic period! I love the contrast of tricorns and turbans! I couldn't make out what figures you used for your Turkish artillerymen. I wonder if I can use the same figures for my Indian Mutiny artillerymen. |

The Turkish artillerymen are plastic English Civil War gunners by "A Call To Arms." The brims of their floppy hats were trimmed away, the crown of the hats wrapped with thin strips of masking tape, and then coated with thinned white glue before painting.
If you're not too much of a purist, I think they's also be convincing as artillerymen for the Indian Mutiny. |

Excellent, imaginative use of figures indeed. I will need to check out those ACTA gunners, as I have recently seen them used as the basis for some Chinese Regulars for the Boxer Uprising! We too game in 54mm and it is great to see another groups flying the flag for those fightin' fifty-fours across the Pond. |

Brilliant conversion! I wish I could see beyond the obvious like some of the talented conversion artists in this group. Perhaps it will come with time. |
