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 invading nation in the Battle of Dorking is never named but they speak German and have spikey helmets so or course I'm using Prussians. I have picked up the bismark mini from the giants in miniature range as a leader. I got a box of perry miniatures skirmishing prussisns to get three units of infantry.

The perry box set allows you get three units of 12 for TMWWBK so you can get the bulk of a force very quickly. The perry box set allows you get three units of 12 for TMWWBK so you can get the bulk of a force very quickly.
