Chi-Ha(s) doubling as R-35's!
And beautiful Legionnaires! This range of Deetails has always been one of my most favourites - they have seen action from 1860's Mexico to 1940 France. Next stop - North Africa 1942!

Bolt Action French
Next to playing with Britains Deetails, I find it very enjoyable organizing my toys into gameable forces. Here is my French battlegroup for Bolt Action:

Britains' Jeep versus Kubelwagen
Another great Toy Fair today. Happily brought a Kubelwagen and a Jeep home. Naturally, they had to put immediately into action - Bolt Action!
In turn five, the Kubelwagen decides not to Recce Away from the HMG of the Jeep. Big mistake!
Jeep 1, Kubelwagen 0.

Pics from a couple of Muskets and Tomahawks' games
Have been enjoying playing quite a bit of Muskets and Tomahawks recently, so of course had to play it also with Deetails! Here are some photos from two different games:

A Bit of Backyard Bolt Action
A German Battlegroup tries to halt the Allied advance in today's Bolt Action Lite game with The Kid.
How the Americans...
...and the British wound up on the Russian Steppes driving towards Germany, is one of those great unexplored mysteries of WWII.
But it really doesn't matter though, 'cause the Germans confidently cruise into action blowing up Shermans and Churchills with little concern for their own safety...
..until...!?!...
Cheers ring out from the American lines!
Suddenly more Panzers start to brew up!
And with that, it ends.
Fun stuff. We left the order dice and pinning markers out because I didn't want to lose them in the grass. But we didn't really need them anyway. Bolt Action Lite!

Britains/Heralds Trojans/Greeks vs. Samurai WAB
A "Seize The Hill" scenario with Tro-Spartans and late period Samurai.
A cleverly disguised Ninja hides in the woods, waiting to pounce on the unsuspecting. Forces were drawn from the AoA book (Trojans/Spartans and the Samurai list).
The Samurai army with a full allotment of seven (!) Samurai heros! (Toshiro, Yoshio, Takashi, Ko, Daisuke, Seiji, Minoru.)
Agamemnon gives a rousing speech to inspire his troops!
Paris leads the left flank archers. (He missed every time he fired!)
Meanwhile, Ashigaru firing their (white powder) teppo are deadly!
The clash on Featherstone Hill!
Phalanx meets Spear-armed Ashigaru.
Bare-chested Trojans tower over the Samurai...
The Phalanx tries to chase down the fleeing Ashigaru.
...the bigger the Trojans, the harder they fall.
In the end a Samurai victory!

Toy Fair Joy
This past weekend was the much-loved and looked-forward-to Toy Fair. Met a wonderful seller of Britains Deetails who gave me a generous deal on a bag full of Britains. It was so nice to be able to share a conversation about the absolute joys and wonder of Britains Deetails Toy Soldiers with someone who also collects and loves them. It was also a tremendous joy to be walking around with a brown paper bag filled with Britains! Yeah.
