Hinterland 's new figures

Earlier this week I received an order from Hinterland http://hinterlandminiatures.weebly.com/ Princess Viktoria's troops.  I have decided to use these figures in my imaginary nations19th/20th C world, I'll probably also use Brigade Games female Zouaves as regular infantry.

I am thinking of making these figures a six company (10-12 man companies) battalion/regiment with a MG section (2 guns).  I'll be using the trench raiders as the Grenadiers and the skirmishers as light or voltigers or whatever.  A horse holder or two would make these mounted infantry.  I may change and make them 6 man companies with two batttalions to a regiment and two regiments to the brigade.

I have a great book on a section of a west central German area with maps and photos, population info, history, etc etc. and I think that Princess Viktoria and her sisters will be commanding a brigade sized army in the near future. 

Last night I ordered enough more troops to fill out the first battalion/regiment.

I wonder if I should also have male troops, well no country has just a female population, an equal sized unit of men couldn't hurt even if they are commanded by women.

New Stuff

There were several problems with ordering Geezers and a few other items that Ben has found and Fixed.

Hopefully, we will be attending The Evansville Old Time Train Show and Flea Market as a dealer in September.  Where we will display our Vallejo paints and terrain mixtures, S Guage vehicles, and people.  Maybe a few other things from Tiger like wagons and carts.

Tiger Restock

A large heavy package arrived from Pete at Tiger in the UK filled with loads of miniatures.  Of particular note are two new sets for the Balkan Wars BWT02 Turks fighting and BWG014 Mounted Evzones.

Well, I was wrong about the interior measurements of the diner, in this photo you can see our Zombies on 30mm bases where they will fit.

In this photo are two figures the Am. sailor ACW is on a 1 inch base and will fit pretty much anywhere behind the counter.  The Trent Highlander is on a 2 pence piece and will only fit between the stool and some behind the counter.  Without the stools the measurements work fine and 30mm bases will go anywhere in front of the counter.

This final photo shows our Zombies after a fine meal of local citizens in the local diner.
