On the way to visit my father-in-law in Herne Bay this morning, I stopped off to pick up a package from the local Post Office sorting office. I was not able to open it until I got home just a few minutes ago, but when I did I found that it contained a large number of American Civil War Britains Deetail toy soldiers that I had bought last week in an Ebay auction.
But there is more; whilst I had been out, the ordinary post had delivered a smaller package that contained another batch of Britains Deetail Apaches ... enough for another regiment of irregular light infantry.
But there is even more; whilst I was in Herne Bay, I popped into a toy shop and found two bags of cheap Cowboys and Indians on sale for £2.49 each. Part of the contents of each bag was a covered wagon ... so I bought both bags. The figures may have some uses, but the wagons give me the basis of a supply train for my FUNNY LITTLE WARS army.
All-in-all, it has been a good day so far, and my Army of Cordeguay is beginning to take shape.

Hi Bob,
ReplyDeleteCordeguay is shaping up very nicely indeed - I will keep an eye out for the Britains Deetail ACW stuff at the various boot sales I visit as they sometimes turn up in small quantities.
Have you considered the Cordeguayan navy at all?
All the best,
DC
Sounds good , inspired choice of figures !
ReplyDeleteDavid Crook,
ReplyDeleteIf you do find and buy any ACW (or French Foreign Legion) Britains Deetail figures, I will willing buy them off you!
As to the possibility of a Cordeguayan Navy ... well, I have an idea or two that might come to fruition in due course.
All the best,
Bob
Mosstrooper,
ReplyDeleteI am very pleased with my purchases, and I think that I will get a lot of use out of them.
All the best,
Bob
