I saw this on Ebay and just had to have one! In gaming
terms it has absolutely no value but, I've never let that
stop me before. I'll probably do a head swap on these
before I'm done.
Q. What's An Evil Empire Without A Brass Band? A. An embarrassment, that's what. Nobody would take it seriously, not even those do-gooder types who just want to run us evil overlords down.
Many of my wargame armies have musicians. Even if it's just a couple pipers and a drummer. A band provides a morale bonus to troops who have heard their music and it lasts for about a day. It can also rally routed troops. Mike Bunkermeister Creek
You kidding? In wargame terms, a band is necessary! It gives a +1 minimum to morale to all units within earshot, depending on your ground scale, and gives +1 minimum when serving as litter bearers! Remember Kelly's Heroes? The regimental or division band is a manpower pool when needed!

Excellent purchase, Don. I trust they will be attired in suitably lurid red, gold and black uniforms?
