Basha Felika | 13 Aug 2018 6:14 a.m. PST |
When will the new marines and officers be listed on the website, Ged? |
deadhead | 13 Aug 2018 6:22 a.m. PST |
Ged has asked me to post several new pictures so let me quote him directly also; "A wealth of new Greens for my 1885 Tonkin campaign comprising Senior Naval officer as attached..followed by crew for my assortment of boats.. A wounded Fusilier Marine.(he can be seated or lying as shown) Fusilier marine sitting next to a mate with a shovel (detachable) to stock coal on the whaling torpedo boat..he can have a rifle as well, so you have two variants for on shore missions. The Crew, who were Fusilier Marines (armed sailors), have now quite a few variants, some armed with pistols and sabres..used in boarding junks and for land battalion forays, where the Marine Fusilier companies were grouped together. Also I have added more Ships captains and Marine officers one of seventeen. More to follow, en avant!"

deadhead | 13 Aug 2018 7:15 a.m. PST |

jammy four | 15 Aug 2018 1:38 a.m. PST |
thanks Liam! more figures being commissioned this week cheers Ged gringo40s.com |
Ferozopore | 15 Aug 2018 9:50 a.m. PST |
A captivating range…. What I'm wondering about is "supporting assets". What rules would work and provide force info? A book or two on the campaigns? I see that Osprey is about to release a volume on French naval and colonial troops. TIA |
jammy four | 15 Aug 2018 10:54 a.m. PST |
Ferozopore .thanks for your input……….rules and a book/s are well underway.
cheers Ged gringo40s.com |

These figures just get better and better. Saw some of the range at Salute earlier this year and they are really outstanding figures. |
jammy four | 08 Sep 2018 2:23 a.m. PST |
Davejl many thanks indeed for the thumbs up on my figures! best regards Ged gringo40s.com |
jammy four | 16 Sep 2018 4:58 a.m. PST |

Durando | 23 Sep 2018 6:53 p.m. PST |
Can't wait so I know which battles I can do? |
Durando | 23 Sep 2018 7:17 p.m. PST |
The Osprey book in my opinion is very lightweight, almost misses the period 1883-1886, better info is available on the internet. There is a major tome being written in English so my sources tell me, until that is out there are plenty of French memoirs which even with my school boy French(some 40 years ago) I find are of help! |
jammy four | 24 Sep 2018 4:52 a.m. PST |
update Gringo40s will be releasing the first of our Tonkin boats in about ten days or so, the all purposes Sampan can be used by both sides or if you are a Yellow flag either side!! regards Ged gringo40s.com |
Durando | 26 Sep 2018 7:29 a.m. PST |
The Sampan is now listed on their web site, it looks a lovely bit of kit! |
jammy four | 26 Sep 2018 1:10 p.m. PST |
thanks Durando the Sampan is indeed on our site and is available now! regards Ged gringo40s.com |

Just received my copy of The Foreign Correspondent and seen the latest from Gringos. It's the naval side of things. These include a Chinese Samoan (not shown) and two photos of French vessels – a torpedo boat and an amazing tugboat. Amazing Ged and best wishes for your visit to Crisis |
davejl | 30 Oct 2018 6:25 a.m. PST |
Sorry. Damned predictive text. That should be a sampan and French gunboat |
