Pound Store Possible Warriors # 1

 

Further Pound Store plastic warrior possibilities sketched out in my notebook!

Roman infantry for A Modern Roman Empire from “The Gory That Was Rome”?

Pound Store small ‘pirate’ copies of other figures. (Figures: Man of TIN)

Pound Store Plastic Warrior Redcoat sketch (Figure / sketch / photo: Man of TIN)

From Pound store plastic red coat to “Berlin Gray” / Space police?

Lots of paint conversion possibilities.

I like the way that familiar figures randomly reappear in different sizes in pound store bags.

I have these three different scale versions of the original Matchbox WW2 US Infantry Radio Man and probably the original Matchbox 1:72/76 and 54mm ones from childhood somewhere!

Simplest Featherstone rules ever?

This very short back of postcard  rules featured in a very short chapter on Wargames by Donald Featherstone in Henry Harris’ book How to Go Collecting Model Soldiers, first published by PSL in 1969.

They seem a great distillation of his own rules and H.G. Wells, presumably as good for 54mm military models / conversions  as for smaller figures.

“Simple, isn’t it?” as Donald Featherstone puts it.
