thanks for heads up on the books Uwe,I will sniff some copies of them out.I got teh Eureka 18mm figures today in mail .Yes too Small for integrating as anticipated but at least but i have good figures to practice painting uniform color schemes on and matching with other figures for converting etc .

Their Chasseurs D'Afrique are VERY nice models also, but as they say back in old Valetta harbor, size matters.If only they made them in 20mm ...big sigh

Today Naval and military(thanks Old John for pointing me to them) parcel arrived and got me stuck into reading "Defence of Kars" by Col Lake. What a good gaming campaign this will be.
