Just posted a link to the UK company Black Hat Miniatures, they have both 15 and 18 mm figures that can be useful. As soon as I stumble across, remember, or take the time to go look it up, there is another UK company I want to post a link to. But my main focus is to support those here in the U.S. In that vane, I've also posted a link to a company with some really great options - wish they'd do more. That is Highlander Studios.
Much more exciting for me is that I've met one of my goals. My recent amendments under the Steeplechase tab have led to the hoped for clarity of purpose and will result in some significant rearrangement of the figures, though a fairly easy rearrangement. I will have the figures organized so that I can readily accommodate up to 24 players in a game. Though I will also end up with a collection that can easily be used in much smaller games, even 2 players or maybe even a solo event. Looks like, including the appropriate animals for Africa and more, I will end up right around 3,000 figures in this collection.
And something I just typed there is important for guiding the future: "easily be used in much smaller games." I need to make that my mantra.
Where playing with toy soldiers is the whole point - and sharing the joy of doing so. And keeping a record of what's been done and what is still awaiting completion. A note of caution for those unfamiliar: this activity can be remarkably addictive and take over your free time. Well, now wait a minute, it's so much fun that shouldn't be a problem. Oh, that's right. It's not! (title with asterisk in bar below is newest or most recent modification to a Page topic)
