Some More Pulp Fiction

 Oh Dear...... instead of knuckling down and getting the last twelve GNW cavalry painted, I have allowed myself to be diverted by the instant gratification of painting a few more Pulp Era figures! And to make things worse, I now have a PLAN....involving MORE Pulp figures, in contingents of ten or twelve figures, and representing six or eight nations - UK, US, Germany, Russia, France, Japan and China - and possibly a couple more as well! To this end, I have purchased two boxes of Perry plastic WW2 figures - Afrika Korps and Eighth Army (other nations will follow but probably in metal - it should not be too costly as I only need a handful of each nation....)

The idea is to have skirmish games for four to six players, each on some kind of mission, and colliding with each other on the table top - it may all come to nothing, it just seems like a cool idea at the moment - I think Neil at Toy Soldiers and Dining Room Battles is to blame, with his recent posts about his fictional Great Game gone Hot Russo/British War of 1900 ish - and a related Grab the Mad Guru scenario.....


This is the whole group of recently painted Bob Murch figures


First of the latest three completed - an American aviatrix


Not sure on this one - could be French...or a second American


The third has been painted up as a second Nazi explorer - given her girth, I am thinking of making her a relation of Reichmarshall Goering - his cousin perhaps!


The three new characters together


The German characters


British Characters


Russian characters (painted a few weeks ago for the RCW collection)


The new arrivals - about a dozen Perry Afrika Korps undercoated - most are wearing the old style cork helmets, as they are intended for pre war use


Size comparison - I think they will work fine together


A few examples of the inspiration for this kind of gaming....







Lets hope I manage to complete this idea as I think it would provide a lot of fun and entertainment! (I will get those Swedes back in the painting queue soon though...honest!)
