ParticipantIf you have a PC and printer you can make your own using decal paper.
Theres some YouTube tutorials knocking about.
Sorry I can’t be more specific, it’s been a long time since I looked into it.

ParticipantThank you, both

ParticipantI looked into native irregulars for my Japanese.
Quite a lot of the irregular units were equipped with Japanese kit and uniforms, but I wanted them to look different to the rest of my army, so used the Kachin militia set with the Burmese scouts and they look perfect against photos of Burmese pro Japanese militia.Haskeer
ParticipantThanks for the detailed answer, Artful, I’ll give it a go.
Theyre not running away, just want to be first to the fight!!
😜
Haskeer
ParticipantThanks Artful, I’ve actually started doing exactly as you suggest!
done a couple of officers and standard bearers. I’m still looking at the drummers and panicking though!
Haskeer
ParticipantThanks!
👍
Haskeer
ParticipantThanks, IO.
I’ll certainly look into those.
I don’t mind using a few ‘weaker’ units to add a bit of jeopardy into a game, so I’ll probably have a couple of units downgraded to conscript.

ParticipantIf you haven’t already encountered him, check out Mel’s YouTube channel – The Terrain Tutor.
Hes got some great videos if you fancy making your own.

ParticipantBuilding up your scenery collection is typically a life long endeavour, but Nat’s list is a great starting point.
I make some of my own pieces, but most of mine comes from Last Valley (Andy), who makes loads of good pieces, very cheap for what you get. He does loads of the shows, but obviously they won’t be happening any time soon. You can get hold of him on Facebook, look at loads of photos of his stuff, then let him know what you want building.
ive recently bought a large set of dirt tracks for my Pacific Theatre games, from Fat Frank on e-bay. Amazing quality at a very cheap price. Can’t vouch for any of his other stuff, but shows you don’t have to pay the Earth for ready built terrain.

ParticipantThanks

ParticipantThanks IO, and again Nat.

ParticipantHa ha! I bought Napoleons Army by Lucien Rousselot. I’d heard it was the bible of French uniform – I’m still none the wiser!
What did Al Murray once say – What would we be without rules? French.
Haskeer
ParticipantThanks, I was worried someone would say that!

ParticipantJohn – I’m based in Blackpool. Totally new to the game, and very early stages of building Peninsular French. My mate is building Peninsular British. We also play Bolt Action, Japanese and USMC respectively.

ParticipantThanks for the info, I’ll order the rule book and have a look.
Cheers,
John
