Further to my
earlier post, Steve has sent me some photos of his toys from the LW game last week. As you can see, he's not a fan of the traditional toy soldier look!

The field artillery moves up. Towed by elephants. These were a gift from the
chief of the Mahtumba tribe in Umbongo, Svenhaselstein's colony in East
Africa.

Having successfully taken and held the town, under heavy fire until the Guards
regiment arrived to take over, the Uhlans now redeploy to the right flank in
support of the Foresters.

| In the centre, the Guards prepare to deliver a volley. |

Very nice toys indeed. Perhaps more Lucotte and Mignot but very pleasing.
Splendid paint jobs there, although for this I'd prefer
the toy soldier look...)
Excellent staff figures, do you use the fallen wounded as some form of casualty marker or are they just for the look of the thing?
Best wishes, Brian

They are very nice - mostly Armies in Plastic figures. There's not enough detail on the 'traditional toy soldier' for Steve...

The casualties are just for looks. They look good but I'm not a fan.
In this particular game the wounded figures were for aesthetic value only. However I would like to see more use being made of them. This would include stretcher bearers and ambulances along with a medical station. If I recall correctly FLW already has rules for these. I have built a dressing station with doctors and medics and have half a dozen wounded figs for each of my units as well as stretcher teams.
Ah yes, I meant painting style since Lucotte used to be a bit more precise and add more detail. Still, I have to confess that my old Britain's that have been repainted have gained a little shading along the way.
