I finished the Germans from The Great War board game the other week, so I pushed on and finished off their British counterparts. They were again mounted on the magnetic bases that I made a while back. Here are the last three infantry units. Here is the bomber figure with four more infantry: And the machine gun and mortar units. As with the Germans, there are seventy five British figures in total that come with The Great War game.

The majority of the figures are wearing the small box respirator (gas mask) in the ready position on their chests, which was introduced in Augu...
