"Askari Miniatures has filled a much needed gap in 28mm Colonial German wargaming with the release this March of four sets of Mounted Schutztruppen – horses and camels. They are the same excellent quality as previous releases of Schutztruppen in this scale, which run closer to 26mm than true 28mm but still work with the larger scale. The sets includes six troopers on either horses or camels, and a 3 person command pack with bugler, NCO and officer for each time of mounted troops. One interesting feature is the ability to include rifles either in their scabbards or withdrawn…" Main page

"Fills a much needed gap…" So,what,he doesn't like the idea? Reminds me of another famous put-down: "I have received your book. Rest assured, I shall waste no time in reading it". |

I think he is suggesting that the way it looks on paper, there was a need for a gap, but wasn't one there. Sometimes colloquial sayings just don't scan so well when written down, which is why language majors hates them with a passions as much as Gollum hateses hobbitses ;) |

Yeah, I thought @HvS was being an ass but I finally get it… the way it's written, the gap sounds preferable to the figures. I'm sure that's not what the author intended. |

Wow,guys, I thought this was so widely known, I might be accused of stating the obvious; apparently I was wrong. The original has been variously attributed,most often to Moses Hadas,as has the other one I (mis)quoted. link Edit: Well,well,seems it's not as obscure as the above discussion led me to believe: link |

BTW(!),nice figures. And they do fill a gap,whether you feel said gap is "much needed" or not! :) |

Can we at least agree that "Dog T-shirts" definitely do fill a "much needed gap"? |
