Hi Martyn,

As part of my Colonial sets, Mike from Little Legion has helped me add some real great firepower to the British columns. It is great to be able to have his support and flexibility. Not many manufactures these days focus on Colonial/Victorian wars....Then we also have a real shortage of artillery providers. A great source was Mountford, but even these are hard to find now a days...Barracks is also gone....so to be able to man these guns Mike came at the right time.....otherwise I would have the pieces but would not be able to create scenarios with them in action.

Regards,

Fleury

Hi Martyn,

Remember when we spoke of a maxim machinegun so as to provide our colonial troops with some real fire power.....and with that better explore the later Sudan/Egypt and Northwestern campaigns that the current offerings of gatling guns and nordenfelts cannot cope with due to the fact they were phased out......well guess what Craig at Wilson Edward Toy Soldiers - www.wilsonedward.com has released a great maxim gun and carriage.....see pictures below...All I have for now are pictures from his pdf catalogue of a set in casting not painted....but for sure the painted version will come soon....The one pictured is a multinational garrison at Peking 1900 Boxer Rebellion, but I have the word that Craig can man the gun with the troops we wish within the range of WETS.....That means, British Boer, African and Northwestern Frontier, Sudan and Egypt.....Russian for the Japanese - Russo War of 1903.....You name it......

Great News.......Now Mike cannot miss the boat.....Craig also has a very nice nordenfelt and gatling ....
