Firstly you rave the Russians. Red vs white vs Cossack (Red or white Cossack, Most were white Cossacks at the start supporting the Tsar)2 British forces, European British and Indian British, French, Turkish, Japanese, Afghan, Tibetan, Chinese Warlord (There could be several of these)American, etc etc etc. The options really are huge almost anyone could and was involved. It was not "The Great Game" for nothing. <br /><br />A lot depend exactly what era you set it in. I will be looking at 1925-1935. As such I have about 16 armies to choose from. (and that is if I stick to Historically accurate ones)Clinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02351729764098750618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430216265579762068.post-37602826485945655692017-11-16T14:05:37.296-08:002017-11-16T14:05:37.296-08:00Good to see at least once force for BoB ready for ...Good to see at least once force for BoB ready for action.

My advice is to start with the rules you want to play with. Most clubs will have a wirdo (My club has me!) This Wierdo is the one who wants to play BoB. So do not expect everyone to jump on board as a game idea. But any VBCW player may well be interested. I am lucky in that I already have some VBCW players who like 20mm AND I already have some suitable terrain. So for me it is easier than for many people/BoB players.Clinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02351729764098750618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430216265579762068.post-78658268067058823322017-11-15T04:56:53.439-08:002017-11-15T04:56:53.439-08:00Those look great, and I really like that 3rd photo...Those look great, and I really like that 3rd photo. Its always something that I've wanted is a BoB army, so seeing what you're achieving in 20mm is fun to watch. <br /><br />Officially becoming one of Col. Bill's staff tomorrow, but I don't know if I'll be doing the SE shows as I think another chap is pencilled in to work those. Bit of a disappointment if that is the case, as it would have been a excellent chance to finally meet up with yourself (and Ray and Tamsin, and a few others I know). Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
