About the Project

Not another project. This one I fell into by accident. I knew I wanted to do a what if battle involving an invasion of victorian Britain by some dasterdly foreign force. I've had the minis for awhile but slowly started tackling the collection.

The aftermath of the Franco-prussian war led to the battle of Dorking invasion scares but before Prussia was the bady it was a fear of imperial French invasion. I got the plastic perry miniatures at Christmas snd osinted one unit of marines and the rest as normal infantry. At Salute I got a couple of artillery pieces that I have since painted up. I could do the Franco-prussian war but I've also had thoughts of an early world war and more what ifs.The aftermath of the Franco-prussian war led to the battle of Dorking invasion scares but before Prussia was the bady it was a fear of imperial French invasion.
