Romania?

All of a sudden, the Romanians are interested in this blog.  Looks like they are vying with Russia to be the world's greatest hackers.  This blog certainly does not cover Romania, and I would find it difficult to believe that Romanians care about German colonial gaming!

Dintr-o dată, românii sunt interesați de acest blog. Se pare că se luptă cu Rusia pentru a fi cei mai mari hackeri din lume. Acest blog cu siguranță nu acoperă România și mi-ar fi greu să cred că românii se ocupă de jocurile coloniale germane!

Die Rumänen interessieren sich plötzlich für diesen Blog. Sieht aus, als würden sie mit Russland konkurrieren, um die größten Hacker der Welt zu sein. Dieser Blog deckt sicherlich nicht Rumänien ab, und ich würde es schwer finden zu glauben, dass Rumänen sich für deutsches Kolonialspiel interessieren!

Lancashire Review - Thar Be Monsters!

"Are these 20mm?" I thought to myself when opening the bag of goodies sent from Lancashire.  Of course I have seen their figures before, but that was years ago, and even though many gamers comment on the huge size of the Lancashire miniatures on the various gaming forums, I had forgotten just how large they can be!  Measuring about 18mm from sole to eye, I would also called them hefty, or chunky, or thick, in terms of girth.  Lancashire has even gone as far as to start calling some of their ranges 18mm, which I think is a more accurate portrayal of many of their "15mm" figures.  

Taking advantage of a recent sale, I ordered some of the East Africa Germans from their World War One range, as well as a few packs of Bedouin foot, also from the World War One list.  Pricing for a foot infantryman during the sale was only .28 cents per figure, which is about as cheap a 15/18mm figure as you can find on the market today (and the normal price is .32 cents per foot figure).  Now, while Lancashire might not be the top of the line figures out there, they are serviceable and animated, and one will have a difficult time snapping a sword or bayonet!

These are some of the nicer figures I have seen from Lancashire.  As mentioned, they would rate 18H on the Barrett Scale as they are tall and hefty.

I will update this weekend with a few pictures as compared to JTFM and Thoroughbred.
