This project has been gestating for a long time. I did a bit of reading and then sort of lost interest in gaming the period. Part of that was that over the years I’ve met a number of the combatants. From both sides. International Brigade and one Italian Fascist. That sort of made it too personal for me.
Recently my interest revived due to some epic gaming posts on LAF and Wargames Website. I thought I’d take the plunge. I’m still not sure what rules I will use, probably some for smallish actions. Hence the round basing you see here. It looks nice too, I think.
Without further ado. Here are the figures so far starting with Spanish Regulars. These can be used for both sides with the simple substitution of a Peter Pig standard bearer. The infantry maybe from The Late Queen now out of production. The rest are from Peter Pig.
For Franco’s fellows here we have La Legion.
Some Falangists next.
For the Republic some Anarchist Militia.
Followed by some International Brigade.
Next some Assaltos.
I’m finding the armour particularly challenging to paint mainly because I’m not used to it. Tanks, armoured cars and a lorry or two will appear in due course.
More soon.
