Hi all, Just considering Naps for the first time with the aim of doing some Sharp Practice – big fan of the books! :-) There's a lot of choice in plastic, which is normally great for skirmish games as you get to make lots of individual poses. However, most boxes seem to be rather static march/attack poses not really suitable for the kind of game I'm looking for… So, which company makes the best dynamic miniatures for these periods |

"Russia's prime minister recently accused NATO of restarting the Cold War amid increased military maneuvers and troop deployments to countries neighboring Russia. On 10 February 2016, Stanford's CISAC tweeted this regarding former U.S. Secretary of Defense William Perry: "Perry, regarding Russia: We are now in a period comparable to the dark days of the Cold War. How could we have let that happen?" The end of "the Cold War" in 1991 was welcomed with relief by almost all parties to the conflict. It was thought that such a confrontation could never happen again. The reality is different. The term "Cold War" is misleading. Contrary to the remarks made by former Secretary Perry and Prime Minister Medvedev, it should come as no surprise at all that new tensions have emerged with Russia. This is merely the nature of the international system – geopolitical tensions, especially between great powers, are inevitable. British futurist writer H.G. Wells wrote in an article titled "The War That Will End War," published in The Daily News on August 14, 1914—and yet major power war broke out in Europe in 1939. The end of "the Cold War" was welcomed with relief by almost all parties to the conflict. But considering military history more broadly, there is, au contraire, no reason not to expect more Cold Wars. Nuclear weapons are now an intractable element of international security (and especially great power rivalries) and thus, there are going to be many more "Cold Wars". We may as well get smarter about managing them…." Full text here link Amicalement Armand |
