Another one of those tempting range of figures.

First I've seen these. Glad to see he's doing new stuff, but wish he'd do more 15mm fantasy figures. I love that range.

How many do you get in a pack ? I can't find where it tells you that.

FusilierDan Supporting Member of TMP08 Apr 2024 8:13 a.m. PST

We've been gaming with them using a modified A Gentleman's War.

Gildasfacit most packs have 4 figures.

Here's a link to my blog about a game. There's a Mark's Little Soldiers label as well if you're interested.

Dan, thanks for posting. What size units are you using?

Richard Brooks Sponsoring Member of TMP08 Apr 2024 9:24 a.m. PST

Recreational Conflict has them online here
'http://recreationalconflict.lusagi.com/copplestonecastings/Mark'sLittleSoldiers/littlesoldiersm.html
'
where you can see what is in each pack. We also just got in the Sarissa planes, tanks and accessories for them.

Thy are nice, will look tem over at sSalute…I built two 28mm Balkan Imagi-Nations years ago (Tradition, Eureka and OG mainly), but I am sure they could both use new units :)

79thPA, They very a little but mostly 6 per unit, 1 NCO, 1 LMG and 4 rifles.

+1 Recreational Conflict. I bought a few from them, great service. link

I love the style of the figures, but my interest would have been more in the Belle Epoque era, Prisoner of Zenda sort of thing.

79thPA Supporting Member of TMP09 Apr 2024 8:12 p.m. PST

Agreed.

+2 for Nick (nnascati), that would have been the right era to model (and with cavalry rather than planes and tanks).

Belle Epoque – don't do that, it soon becomes a "must have" new army :D.

Afaics the biggest shift is from colour to khaki in the early 1900's but often the uniform cut is indistinguishable from late 1800's to Interbellum, esp in smaller armies

I think the troops in various hats can be taken back to the belle epoque, and the helmet (except the German one) painted as cloth types maybe or "New Pattern 1808" ;)

Fwiw I have the Eureka 1890s Evzones, but painted for Balkan Wars/WW1/RCW khaki – , they go from blue coat to khaki c Balkan wars but they are still usable up to WW2!

There is cavalry, its a unifigure with different heads

If and when I bite the bullet and field my Imaginations "Belle Epoque" forces, I think I'll use early WWI figs (15mm Minifigs), as follows:

NATION/HEADGEAR
Sylvania: Service Cap
Freedonia: Kepi
Zubrowka: Turban
Graustark: Bonnet de Police
Ruritania: Feldmutze
Arztotzka: Colpack

Here's a link to a Facebook post that shows some MLS figures. The poster was fairly creative with the uniforms.
