More Imperial native units than regulars from back home was another key. Also, as time went by filling out such things as supply, heliograph sections, engineers and staff for the sake of completeness became important.<br /><br />Here and there I think about The Guides and Gurkhas but to date I have no miniatures to paint for same. <br /><br />There is also the very real game negativity of having too many Imperials compared to their foes.<br />---<br />Native foes needed to have miniatures from just about every manufacturer I could find. <br />---<br />We typically have a gargantuan Colonial battle in June. The back story will work up to that soon with some side trips along the way - especially since Alexandra is so "intoxicating" as Lt. Col. Lawford believes.<br />---<br />Meanwhile, you might find something interesting in The Campaigns In Germania blog.

Is there any rhyme or reason to the forces the General has available to him, or is it just what you find most interesting?<br /><br />Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041377480802719591.post-75960175323223260472011-01-19T07:41:06.717-06:002011-01-19T07:41:06.717-06:00If you need any help painting stuff shoot me an em...If you need any help painting stuff shoot me an email.
