Boersposted in Imperial Conquests: Battles in the Age of Empires 1815-1914
So what do guys think of Boers for the Boer wars, etc.? Should they be done as partisan style sets (male and female), or is that not really needed? What kind of guns and other weapons would they ha...

Light Vehicles Possibilitiesposted in Death Fields: The Greatest Sport is War!

Panzer Lehr Expansion Set - Panzerschreckposted in World Ablaze: The Second World War 1939-1945
