This weekend I painted the first sprue of Germans from The Great War board game by Plastic Soldier Company . Each sprue contains enough figures to make four units of infantry (there are three sprues in the basic game, I got another three due to the Epic bundle on Kickstarter ). I textured their bases with PVA and sand and used Sidney Roundwoods guide to painting late war Germans for the basic colours. One thing I changed though was to use Grey- Green Vallejo paint for the tunics, trousers and puttees. The figures painted well, but on closer inspection I noticed that there is a lack of detail that you normally get with PSC figures. However, these are supposed to be for a board game so I am not so fussed about it. Also included on the sprue is a Maxim Machine Gun and four crew. This makes up a single unit: More support is available from the trench mortar, again with four crew. And finally the last figure on the sprue is the bomber, he can be added to any infantry unit to make it stron...

I have just completed the first sprue of British figures from the Plastic Soldier Company s The Great War board game. These compliment the German figures, which I painted a while ago. As with the Germans the majority of the 25 figures on each sprue are the infantry, obviously. Here they are organised into the four men units that the game uses: The British have a Vickers machine gun and three crew as support. This is more detailed than the German Maxim. The sprue also has a bomber figure to add to a unit: And as with the Germans, a trench mortar is included. This is a slightly over large 4" Stokes Mortar. There are three sprues of 25 figures each in the basic game (a Kickstarter bonus allowed me to double up and get six sprues each of the Germans and British), making a total of 48 infantry, 3 MGs and crew, 3 Bombers and 3 mortars and crew. 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...
