Martyn, it looks like your new addition from the June Show is really MAXIM-izing the Matabele casuality rate ..... nice picture and it's great to see the Shangani back in action. :salute::

Great figures Martyn, a terrific battle recreation idea by you and a fine job of bringing it to fruition by Mike. Well done all 'round!
