Toy Soldiers 30mm and 42mm

Paul C has been into Toy Soldiers for some time now, here are some photos of his growing collection.

The first are '42mm WW1' figs from 'Irregular Miniatures' from York, UK, and they are playing 'Shambattle' a 1929 American wargame (The US version of 'Little Wars' - HG Wells from 1913) the figures are double gloss varnished figures.  They have used them to introduce children and adults to early wargames and in a scenario that was published by Phil Olley in 'The Wargames Journal'.
