Crimean War toy soldiers




Finally got round to unboxing my toy soldier collection after almost 6 years in boxes and searching through my late fathers collection to for figures of the same period to display. I had more than I thought. They are now pride in place by my wargames board.

The figures are mostly W Britains.

Operation Knights Move 1944

Pete put on a 20mm WW2 Operation Knights Move game using Rapid Fire at this months Conwy Wargames Club meet. Paul and I played the Yugoslavs protecting Tito and Gaz and Dave the Nazis.

The Germans won capturing their objectives (but not Tito) and held out in the Church (historically the graveyard).

We through 4 battalions of partizans at them and the gilder troops need 1 casualty to break, and the paras were rather worse for wear, but the cost was high. We had 1 operational company left when the German relief force arrived and the Reds began their retreat,

Great game. How club has amend Rapid Fire to allow simultaneous moving and firing to keep the game going when there are multiple players.
