Polish Hussars charge German tanks during WWII

I particularly like the saber action on the windshield of the Opel
Blitz! It was somewhat less effective on the tank however!

54 MM Idea

Here is an old idea for a Pre-Napoleonic imagine-nation'I've desided to bring it up to the 1890s keeping much the same uniform colors. I'm going to use thanks to Tim Gow's suggestion Armies in Plastic 54mm WWI German Infantry in Spiked Helmets, British Gatling Gun, French Foreign Legion,Civil War Union Artillery Set, WWI German Uhlans, and what ever else catches my eye! I will be doing a head change giving all but Foreign Legion (that already have them) havelocks.

GURPS Traveller

Hang in there, Beowulf. Help is on the way . . .

Marc Miller's Traveller is one of the most fully realized game backgrounds ever created . . . a vast empire of over 11,000 systems, with a turbulent history dating back thousands of years. Locales can range from a crowded spaceport to a lonely frontier outpost, from the teeming cities of the Core to the unexplored worlds on the edge of the Great Rift. Characters can be merchant princes, diplomats, soldiers, politicians, nobles, criminals . . . or all of them at once. Political intrigues, trading schemes, mind-wrenching alien enigmas, mercenary raids, wars . . . almost anything is possible.
The newly revised GURPS Traveller, Second Edition melds this exciting universe with the rules system of GURPS, and includes rules for creating new characters and for converting old ones from other Traveller rules systems. It includes a modular starship construction system (fully compatible with GURPS Vehicles) and a space combat system for ship-to-ship encounters.
GURPS Traveller also brings you the official alternate universe for Traveller, in which Emperor Strephon, and the Third Imperium, have survived to face new challenges.

Buck Rogers In The 25th Century

Buck Rogers XXVc (The 25th Century) [BOX SET]
TSR was the grand-daddy of Role Playing Game companies. Best known for Dungeons & Dragons, TSR actually developed many other games (some fine, others less than great), but none ever approached the popularity of D&D.

Interestingly, TSR had much trouble coming up with a science fiction RPG, and wanted badly to emulate the success of the Traveller RPG at rival company GDW. In 1990, they secured the license to the Buck Rogers franchise, and developed a game around it. The game never received a huge audience, but it wasn't for a lack of trying. In addition to game supplements, they published Buck Rogers novels, comics, and even a board game.
