They were unfortunately not ready - only arriving on friday before the game but you will indeed see then at the Kokoda game.<br /><br />Yes your figures are battle honours, <br /><br />AndrewDrewsart70https://www.blogger.com/profile/11929606997488453305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020094779384982600.post-28454654176778933942010-10-27T16:02:48.040+11:002010-10-27T16:02:48.040+11:00Thanks Andrew - your collection is fantastic.
Gui...Thanks Andrew - your collection is fantastic.<br /><br />Guido - I think my humble contribution of the Bren squad may be Battle Honours (but not sure) - I'm told they make Papuans with rifles too. I'm also looking at Castaway Arts - an Aussie company (see the link in Reference Sites on the left) - to see if they produce anything that'll fit the bill as PIB. <br /><br />Helen - this is my 1st time gaming it but my father was commissioned into PIR and I spent many years growing up in PNG and exploring alot of the areas where the battles took place. Got me started in my interest in military history and wargaming!<br /><br />Cheers,<br /> DocDoc Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12454394616689797734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020094779384982600.post-79535110161064591972010-10-27T12:58:05.907+11:002010-10-27T12:58:05.907+11:00Hi Guidowg
