Why did you buys those????

 Ever bought something completely irrelevant and unrelated to any of your projects just because they were very nice...and very cheap?

I did- these figures from the Carlist war of the 1830s:


 



I bought these on ebay by making a very low bid ( $40 for 40 figures) and ended up winning. I really like them....but not sure what to do with them!! I guess I'll figure something out!

Still, they are very nice!

  1. A good skirmish force- something like Sharpe's practice? Or one of the Osprey blue book rules?

  2. Are they the Pery range? If so, they are lovely figures ...the Brits in Bell Top Shako can be used for the First Afghan War...so skirmish level would work quite well.....
