A side view down the ranks. Each trooper is wearing a grey greatcoat and an olive drab helmet.
A close up of the front rank, showing an officer, some saluting troopers, and a standard bearer with a large red and white flag.
Another side on view, this one slightly closer in.
I decided to enter Online Armies on Parade for the first time this year. I was walking home from work and wondered what the maximum number of models I could fit on an entry board is - turns out it's 400. All basic Infantry Squads apart from a Command Squad, headed by Captain Stagler, at the front.

Iβm with you on that one
Sometimes the b&w ones are much more evocative than the colour ones
Bring back predreadnoughts I say! Preferably French looking ones as thatβd really confuse the enemy as to whatβs coming to get them
