A lot of the 20 mm figures were very well sculpted. I never quite understood why 25 mm/28 mm became dominant.

Nicely done!

Grelber, I suspect it was a combination of increased income and failing eyesight. I remember a Napoleonics player complaining that they'd lost a 20mm Rifle battalion on the table, and had to stop the game to find it. He'd have been about 45 at the time, and that's when he halted his 20mm project and went back to 30's.

Nice job on those paras! I would like to order some of them as well as some commandos as well as some other odds and ends from Britannia, but these seem to have a poor reputation for mail order these days. It is unfortunate since I have a few projects I started with orders before Covid I would like to wrap up…

A formidable force with howitzers, tetrarchs and 17 pounders. Also transport which I've found is a very necessary ingredient to a good game with paras.
