They've preserved some of the bullet holes in the Hotel de Ville from the Uprising (with a plaque). Worth seeing when you're in Paris. It's near the tourist information centre, too.

@Grumpy Gnome Community Liaison is a thankless task and we are NOT an easy customer base to please. There's a good reason many miniature companies give up on engaging with us. If you check the rat...
The Paris Uprising list also allows you to take Paris Police Prefecture Squads. You could build a 5 man squad of them from the Officer bodies in the WGA French Infantry kit. (Really nicely...
A single Wargames Atlantic's Partisans (1): French Resistance builds a 500 point opposition force. I used the "Paris Uprising" list, also from the Campaign D-Day: US Sector book. Late W...
https://wargamesatlantic.com/collections/vox-populi The total votes are now prominently displayed. Napoleonic Spanish still crushing it. The other clear leaders are Early War WW2 B...
That's a great haul. I've been looking at the command box myself, but what I really want in it is the Captain. Kinda wish I had someone to do halves on the box. If anyone is interested...
The Defense of Paris list also allows Milice Squads. Member @BUYCK Eric had this great idea to model Milice using the French Infantry Officer bodies and Panzer Lehr. htt...
WGA's "The German Sentries" kit doesn't initially seem like the best candidate to build an army from. https://wargamesatlantic.com/collections/all/products/german-sentries But I found the ...
You can actually have a fun little game at 500 points in Bolt Action. You can also generally build a 500 point army from a single 28mm box with a bit of thought. There are some o...
@Colin Brinkley It is indeed. And the 2021 Panzerjaeger sprues do have Dreamforge Games still printed on them. So I dunno. It seems that everything still flows from Mr Mondragon. I get the impress...
I have so many wants it's hard to surprise me with stuff I wasn't already hoping for, but I really wasn't expecting the Alien Trees to grab me as much as they did.
Totally behind a Nautical themed month. Maybe frame it as "Ships and those that sail upon them" so the boats and/or Spacers can get included? "Boarding Parties" is also generic enough for ...
I did notice a bit of a phase change from before production moved to the US to after. My guess is that the US team now have a lot more work to do, a lot more stuff they really can't discuss and le...
Same as Vietnam : https://www.warhistoryonline.com/instant-articles/lt-gen-hal-moore-an-american.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Were_Soldiers You should try to read the book, the fi...
@Geoff Maybury , pm'd you.
Does any one know if it`s a good base to actually learn how from a civilians view, (myself), we ended up seemingly lossing the "Action", and leaving all in chaos. For some I know this subjec...
I`ve been on Ospreys site drooling at brian food for "Nam, and other items, with just the wish to learn, one thing I found was this book.
My compeer Geoff... I'm happy to read that your problem is way to be resolved. Stoic and fair-play under fire, no doubt, you are a true son of Albion. Izan ontsa.
For Seamen/Mariners: Maybe conversion parts to turn Cannon Fodder into hard hat divers.
@Alessio De Carolis Just because you don't have an interest doesn't mean there isn't one. Female Napoleonic miniatures are having a mini renaissance right now. (Pun intended). At leas...
I read in a book about ACW, that one of the reasons Army's medical corps ordered a "total" medical exam on new recruits was to avoid that some females enlisted as males (some cases really happened)...
In sci-fi & fantasy females' figures would be OK, but in history? Nope, except for the Red Lanterns (pratically females' equivalent for the Boxers). Logically you've to consider a product's mar...
@Steffen Seitter Not to mention they should announce when the next SPQR content is coming - I've been waiting for Germanicus and those new Imperial Legionary sculpts that they teased ages ago for o...
@Grumpy Gnome Its likely they still exist as a business with no assets, just a LLC.
@Mark Dewis Actually, the Dreamforge logo IS on the Eisenkern boxes. The symbol right news to the word 'Iron-Core' on the front is the 'DFG' logo.
@Miyuso That's really clever. And Pirate Ogres would be awesome.
For Seamen/Mariners, maybe some Chinese Pirates with characters.
@JTam 2 Birds one stone for Pirates would be a set of Ogre/Vain parts that Piratify both options
Well the old stock was manufactured by Wargames Factory, who are no longer in operation. I don't know what status Dreamforge has as a business entity these days, but as their name is NOT on the box...
Well we had that but too many people bitched about it and it got taken down...
Set I didn't know I wanted but was an awesome surprise? Definitely the WW1 Combat Nurses:
@Grumpy Gnome Its exclusively old surplus, from what I can see. None of the new stuff, must be trying to make room.
The theme for March 2023 is females. I'm sure we will see this theme repeat as there's so much one can do. I'm hoping for female bodies compatible with the plastic arms from existing sets.&n...
Maybe "Minor Powers/Lesser Known"? Stradiots: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/44291/next-for-the-range?page=2 Illyrians: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xen...
Or how about "Seamen/Mariners"? Print em up and drench your table top with seamen. The WW1/RCW and WW2 Russian/Soviet Sailors could be compatible... Making an awesome flexible set. ...
An obvious theme is "Heavy Support" to help round out existing sets. Kits could look something like this: https://youtu.be/0deTf57rUqE Other welcome WW2 "Heavy Support": Male and...
We have this excellent thread going for individual kit ideas. https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/81951/digital-wish-list This thread is to present monthly theme ideas. I will ...
@Geoff Maybury Anvil Industries sell strips of individual robot heads ( e.g. https://anvilindustry.co.uk/exo-lord-cyclops-automata-heads-3) which may help if you don't get any joy with the replacem...
We've been talking about downsides of Atlantic Digital a lot recently, but I want to talk about an upside: what sets from the digital initiative have been the biggest surprise wins for you? There ...
They should just announce the next Epic Battles Setting instead of posting "every day nonsense we do" on their FB-Page...
@JTam I really liked Battle: Los Angeles and most of my buddies did too. I remember watching it in the barracks with my squadmates in 2012. We made Jokes about how lucky we were to only have to fac...
@Geoff Maybury Thanks for the info mate. They do look great. Too bad about the missing heads. Hopefully they will make it right.
Last night an E-mail said my order was despatched, to arrive today, which it did, before 11am as stated. I was really pleased I opened the package to find a blister pack it contained the phot...
@JTamMale form of "don`t get your panties in a twist". WE really enjoyed Jung-E, the story, and the filming, to wards the end, Eileen was saying "She`d better excape". A Robo Cop morals twist, ...
@JTam Personally I play 'The Kingdom is Ours' for ECW. Great little ruleset, I'm just waiting for some Warlord Epic Battles ECW figures to use with it! (Have been using paper squares and rec...
