Prenton Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Wow - that really brings me back to the 1970's, and the green carpet in our landing where we boys used to use these Airfix figures to do our own Napoleonic battles, with some conversions to white coated Austrians, as far as I can remember (probably as a result of an article in an Airfix magazine).... Wonder what happened to them..... I am surprised that you can still get the boxes. Philip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince1159 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 ...Do you do battle reenactments with a group Ratch,Civil War/Waterloo etc (not wargaming).... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 I've been to see a fair few, but I don't participate. English Heritage did quite a few - I've seen Napoleonic re-enactments at Audley End, the Battle of Hastings at Battle, a Civil War re-enactment at Wimborne Minster, jousting at Carisbrooke and various other events - I'm interested in history 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
