| Plastic Soldier Co Yankees painted by me for Ron a few years back. |
Well OK I wasn't thinking of the 20mm hexed adaptation of Bolt Action that Ron and I played on Monday or watching this great 1943 movie featuring the RCN, real corvettes, shots of Halifax and rather realistic shots of life and storms at sea. (Based on my admittedly limited and much later experience in rather larger destroyers. The Sweepers we did navigation training in rarely went far from land.)
BUT, today I did finally start rebasing enough 54mm American Federal troops and a few Guards in Bearskins to allow for a Red vs Blue toy soldier option for my Portable Wargame 'walk up and try it' sessions at Huzzah. Should be able to try them out on the weekend before packing.
My dad spent the war years ploughing backwards and forwards across the Atlantic on HMS Pennywort (KIII). I must look this movie up, thanks for mentioning it.
