I vowed to myself that despite the wonderful range available from the Perry twins I would never get drawn into gaming the War of the Triple Alliance (Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina vs Paraguay). When Freikorps first launched their 15mm range in the late 70’s or thereabouts I resisted but…….
Then I got momentarily distracted and all of a sudden during our last India trip but one I ordered a bunch of minis from them. Well, lots actually. One good thing (?) is that the Perry plastic ACW boxes are quite simple to convert (mainly through a paint job) into Brazilians.

The Uruguayan army, one more battalion to do. Of course I also need to do the bases but I like to have a basing blitz and do as many as I can, ideally in the garden with a beer. |

I had these 3d printed fortress guns laying about so they now have Paraguayan crews. |
I am currently in the midst of painting a load of Brazilians. They’re nothing if not colourful. As indeed are all the armies in this bloody war.
Ah the Joy's of wargaming. Good luck with this new project
ReplyDeleteThey look rather nice, Colin.
ReplyDeleteFollowing this with interest. I too recall the Frei Korps figures. I think they produced an interesting wee booklet on the war back in the day.
