Quelling the Commune - part 3

As night falls the defenders of Fort Issy remain confident...
...but overnight they are outflanked by Republican troops.
Soon the flag of freedom (or it might be brutal repression, depending on your point of view) flies proudly atop the fort's ramparts.
Republican forces near the city...
...where the criminal mob mans the walls.  They were an ill-assorted bunch of scruffy figures.
See what I mean?
Meanwhile, the Marshal maintained a dignified appearance.  Comfortably out of cannon shot...
Aside from the walls, the many barricades looked pretty formidable.  But hopefully the rabble would run off at the first whiff of grapeshot.

Looks excellent, Tim.

Shouldn't the little blackout squares be over their eyes though?

Regards, Chris.

I had to endure looking at them - why shouldn’t you suffer too?

Are the figures with black squares Replicants or early Timpo?

All I know is that they were poorly cast with indifferent paintwork.
