Thoughts...

I've been reading this fascinating book about the Spanish Civil War written by Hugh Thomas. I've known little about the conflict before and it was mostly about German and Italian support for Franco's forces and his political repression as Spain's dictator afterwards.

Reading about the various factions involved in the fighting got me thinking about wargaming the conflict in 15mm or 28mm. Of course this project would be among the hundreds others I have in progress. Miniature wargaming really is an addiction isn't it?

So I thought of doing skirmish in 28mm using the range sold by Empress miniatures. They are superbly detailed and not too expensive.

However, I am more interested in doing this in 15mm but my options are few. There is the range from Peter Pig but I'm not too impressed by the sculpts. I did find a small company called The Late Queen producing a full range in 15mm for the SCW. The sculpts are pretty good quality. I was thinking of doing this project with several minis on a base.

Aside from the Spanish Civil War, I have also considered wargaming the Russian Civil War. No concrete plans on that project just yet.

I am making big strides in my fictional South American forces. Particularly with the Tunalistas.
