Wargaming 'Not The Usual Suspects'.

First of all what are the 'usual suspects' to which I refer? In WW2 wargaming, its Germans, Russians, British, Americans and the Japanese. the 5 main protagonists of ww2. Between them however many smaller nations got pushed, shoved or just jumped into one camp or another. Often less well equipped, often poorly supported by their own poor logistics and aging weapons to have much affect. But sucked in they did get. France and Italy are included despite initially being Major protagonists.

Not Quite Mechanised



From Phil's 20th century wargame pages

Chris Kemp’s when he invited us over
for the evening.

Orc Ogre






















Although this beast started out life as a Steam Powered Land-ship

My 15mm OGRE














The OGRE is shown with some of the new Rebel Miniatures

Humans in Body Armor for scale.
