They're intended for the Cancon game next year where we'll be using Steve Langan's Setting The East Ablaze (Ver. 2) rules covering warfare 1917-26 - which I highly recommend.

I'm waiting on an order of Wargames Atlantic French to paint up in Horizon Bleu. Those Saxons look great - and honestly never had an interest in them until a recent Battle of Gorodechno game where I had to sub in French for the Saxons. Looking forward to your Perry FPW project too.<br /><br />Mele Kalikimaka & Hau’oli Makahiki Hou!

In any case, excellent work. I for one shall be awaiting the next instalment with bated breath. Veroohttps://afewroundsmore.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
