El Bucanero Posted February 25, 2007 You have lots of troops Mr. Tordenskjold! Nice Red-coat army.Nice (and large) crew. I'm looking forward for seeing some picts with the crew on your ship. Have I ever shown my Africa Corps? Well, here's a pict. Those guys are all shaved very nicely I see! X-D I do wonder if it was normal if the soldiers had facial hair in those days... Because I believe soldiers of now need to be shaved.... You really have a lot of imperial soldiers Bonaparte! I wish I had that much... Have a nice day, Mr Tiber Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norrington Posted February 25, 2007 Phred, if you want to have a privateering buisness, just havesome impeirals on board in addition to the pirates. My men have had alliances like this, but the pirates turned to mutiny, and we sentenced to exacuted. Sad the way that one turned out, but I doubt it would happen on your ship if the pirates and impeirals decided to forge a Privateering agreement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because I believe soldiers of now need to be shaved.... I created the "Africa Corps" after seeing the movie Zulu. I think some officers of the British army had facial hair. Maybe the officers didn't have to follow this rule? I''m not sure actually. Have to see that movie again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poor pirates 8-| I hope that don't happen to my pirates. X-D I've been slowly building up my imperials with each BL order i try to get a couple. Just found 2 blue coats and 1 red coat for 2.50 USD each. I don't have a lot of money (at all) so i can just get a few at a time each time i get some bricks.

Fordo Posted June 5, 2007 My army is almost Identical to Bonaparte's except I only have 8 Cuirassiers and 12 Mameluke's, and one less Artillery piece. Also my Golden Eagles weren't spray painted on gold crome but painted on with my goldish Warhammer 40k paint. I have also run into that 'no shako's left' problem which will hopefully be resolved.

Fordo Posted June 6, 2007 Before I got into pirates I was mostly into Castle type stuff like Adventurers so I used this guy on a white horse with bley saddle for Mameluke's. http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?M=adv030 And used a cutlass as the Sabre.

I know very little about Indonesia besides that the country is made up of several islands, and despite the relatively small land mass, it is one of the largest countries in terms of population in the world! You have a nice collection of blue coats here! I prefer the red guys myself, but this is the start of a grand army! Welcome to our forum! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
