British Commonwealth Additions

 British Commonwealth Additions

First figures of 2026. 

This year I`ve decided to expand my games into Italy, but I have no intention of creating a whole new British/Commonwealth force! I`m just going to re-use my Mediterranean theatre British and Indians including those in shorts - frankly fuck it it is my table 😁

But I do need to upgrade some elements to that later theatre, particularly PIAT teams, so I quickly messaged Tony at Raventhorpe who was happy to provide what I needed plus separate Punjabi turban heads also.

Ten Raventhorpe desert British/Commonweal in helmet plus 2 Airfix mine detector guys, because my Commonwealth troops don`t have any! (though I have already ordered a new set of Mine detector/engineers from S&S Models)

  1. Very nice. And, being for the Italian campaign, it has the added bonus that your Goums also fought there.
    Cheers,

    1. Yes of course though not usually in the same sector as the Brits/Commonwealth troops. I have two connected games planned where one of the Indian Brigades have to take two towns - an Indian battalion attacked the first (held by Italians) and a British battalion the second (held by Germans) so two similar but different games.
