EBAY Elephants

Had some great luck in obtaining 4 Elephants on Ebay (One is not pictured here).  All are Asian.  They will join the ranks of my British Expeditionary Force (my own creation).  (Click to enlarge)

Alert! Alert!

The British are going ..........!!!!!!!  (click to enlarge)

Leftovers

Here are a few photos I didn't post in the Campaign Tab.  Click to enlarge as always.

The right and center BEF flanks move forward together

SOldiers of the right flank clear the wall firing platform of the village from the rear.

Arabs atop the "Church" continue to snipe at the BEF as they enter the village.

Elephants in War

Hmmm I always wondered about this and as I was planning on adding a few to my British Colonial Army I did some simple research.  It seems that very few African ones were ever used in WAR.  The Asian was the common one.  The differences to look for is small ears on the Asian.  Now I am off to the Elephant Auctions on EBAY!!!

New Cavalry

Finally saw some photos of the NEW TSSD Cavalry.  Looks like one is firing a full size shotgun on horseback no less!  And it looks like at least 2 are using the reins of their mount in their right hand.  IMHO the sculptor does not have a very good grasp of American cavalry despite claims.  See the site for pictures!

Thanks for the Tanks

Although I am  not into WW2 era I find it nice that someone offers alternatives to what are IMHO the overpriced offering of FOV and others.
