Here is my little Greek setup trying to recreate the Battle of Megalopolis between the forces of a young AtG and Sparta. It's an often underlooked or appreciated battle (siege really) which featured the heroics of the Spartan king dying in the midst of battle. I had previously had the JGM...

One of them is ok but the other three are banged up- to include the two mounted standard bearers and the REN003 figure.....GRRRRRRRRRRRR I hate it when that happens. I was trying to...

Hey fellas Here's a fun and interesting niche on WW2 history! My VFW Post blasted this on their social media account this morning- really interesting- we always grimace at the rough treatment on horses in warfare- here is the very rare story where we, as humans, did for them! Last Month...

I remember when FL announced this range and was definitely interested but held off as I didn't want to start another range. Saw them at the toy soldier shows and was definitely impressed- FL's style really made them stand out (would prefer to see the flashlight lense be a little more subdued...

Stumbled upon this one as well back in October. Really cool movie with a lot of actors who were popular in the 1990's- to include Gary Sinise. A lot of the soundtrack is done with synthesizers, so it sounds a little out of place with a WW2 movie but nonetheless, interesting scenes, interesting...

WOW! I stumbled upon this early one morning and had to ask myself- HOW DID I EVER MISS THIS?????? George Pepard plays a up and coming German WW1 ace set in 1918. Incredibly cool biplane scenes- Ursula Andress and George Mason are also in it- it is super! This film rocked all the way up to a...
