I HAVE managed to get some more work done on the 1914 BEF forces for 'If the Lord Spares Us' this week, including completing several more infantry companies plus brigade and battalion commands. In ITLSU each battalion is commanded by a battalion HQ with a brigade commander in overall command. A full British infantry brigade will consist of one battalion HQ, machine-gun section, and four battalions of sixteen infantry platoons (one platoon = one base of two models). As you can see, then, I'm about halfway through. To the infantry brigade I will also add a cavalry regiment of three squadrons of four troops (twelve bases) with machine-gun section and regimental HQ. I will also pick up a pack of Kallistra's 18pdr Field Guns to make a battery of RFA (one gun = two, so three bases = 1914 battery). So with this and my WWII project I have plenty to be getting on with!

Very nice. Kallistra are starting to look like they 'own' WWI. I like the size of the figure, it reminds me of 'old' 15mm.
ReplyDeleteVery sharp. I particularly like the fella with the walking stick.
ReplyDeleteITLSU and 1914 seem like a perfect fit to me. Can't wait to see more! Thanks for dropping by Senlac Hill too. Cheers Alan
