6mm Battle of Hastings

Last year I painted up troops for the Battle of Hastings.

They were used with my, then year 10, GCSE students to help them remember the armies and the battle for their history GCSE on a very simple self written grid based ruleset.

The class was VERY engaged, with each student controlling ~2 units each, determined to win the battle for their team.

Saxons

10mm WW2 figures - British, German, American and Italian

Over the past few years I've been slowly gathering a collection of 10mm WW2 platoons plus supports to play Chain of Command on a pinboard, a very economical and space saving meaasure.

I'm happy with the look.
