Richard B`s task 1 (updated 16th May)

[Richard B.]

I`ll probably make this the last entry for this task

Some early C20th bits

I have a plan to run a game based on the Marine landing at Tangier 1904 - dipicted in the film Wind and the Lion

I have decided that to make the game interesting the landing itself should be opposed and wanted some ordinance and crews to do so -
All crew are conversted plastics see end photo

no worries, i`m sure you`ll do a better modelling job than I

I was thinking of the numerous periods we do - French colonial Africa/Rif War/Mexican Revolution/SCW and French WW2 (up to Tunisia) all these use horse drawn guns, so this can have mulitple uses on our tabletops
