I finally finished my 1897 Greek Army in 10mm.
You can find more pictures, and guide to how I assembled it at link With Respect

Very cool, Konstantinos! I modeled this army in 25mm. Reading descriptions of the war, I have been tempted to re-do it in a smaller scale, so I could refight the big battles of the war. You make this look feasible! I never got around to adding the Garibaldists to my army. Maybe I should go back and do that. I recall they had a valiant cantiniere who would rush out and pull the wounded back behind the firing lines. Nice touch having several different types of artillery--historically accurate, too!

Hey Grebler! Your efforts were partly what led me to mine! |

1897, the "Unlucky War" – splendid stuff: "It was a race for defeat between [Greek] cowardice and [Turkish] apathy, and cowardice won." G.W. Steevens (1897), "With the conquering Turk: confessions of a bash-bazouk". Still good for gaming though! I have had fun refighting Velestino and Domokos. TMP link link Chris Bloody Big BATTLES!

Ah Steevens, and many of those other "western" observers. Quite the prejudiced bunch, though it is still intellectually stimulating to read their accounts. |

Congratulations on completing the project. |

Always important to be aware of historical sources' biases. Impartial observers … aren't. |
