Excellent review of the mini's. I have OG Russo-Japanese War figs, who would you recommend for machinegunners, both Russian and Japanese? |

MM, my memory of the OG15s is that the Japanese infantry were slightly larger than the Russian. Is that correct? Seemed a little odd to me,though I suppose arguments could be had. Not surprising there are no machine guns,as the line was repackaged from the Boxer range. |

Von Schlock, Interesting but are you sure about the repackaging? I have the OGs and the Russian artillery is the M1900/1903 Putilov and the Japanese the Type 31. I did check both photos and art (Caton Woodville) from the Boxer Rebellion, and I am not showing those two field pieces being used. In fact the Japanese artillery piece kinda looks like a Krupp. I did check the current OG 25 Boxer range and they have no guns listed for purchase. Ciao, Colonel Bill |

No, I'm not sure. Big Steve asked me years ago if I thought the Boxer range figs could be used for a Russo-Japanese line. I said it would seem likely, but assured him I was no expert,and he should check with more informed sources. The infantry certainly looked like those from the Boxer range. Unfortunately there are no pics on their site, and I don't remember comparing the artillery. Of course, I'm referring to the Old Glory 15s/19th Century Miniatures lines here. Do you have the artillery packs from their Boxer lines? That would answer the question. |
