This a wargaming place were you can see a growing collection of miniatures and terrain of many historical periods in 20mm (but also a few 10mm,15mm and 28mm) started when I was 10 yo. At the moment it has several tens of thousands of miniatures from foot figures to Destroyers. Occasionally there are some war movie critics and some travel to military sites. My family considers it the best wargaming site in the World even if it is the only one they know. More on @joaopeixoto5249 YouTube Channel.

The majority of British and Anzac infantry at the Gallipoli landings of the 25th of April had the Service Dress Cap with no Brodie helmets arriving, apparently, during the campaign. For many decades the only source of early British infantry was Airfix. Not bad figures but with several relatively useless figures for wargaming, that at least can be a good source of heads. In recent days Hat released a small box with 32 beautiful early British infantry figures and all these were mixed together with conversions from the Emhar late war figures .
“The scene on W Beach was like Dante’s Inferno; a terrible sight. Wounded were calling out for help and there were several heaps of bodies, about 20 or 30 in each heap. We lined up on the beach, but the Turks started shelling and we were troubled by shrapnel, so we made our way to a position on the slope above the beach”.
