Recently,
I was privileged to be invited to John Ray's house for a look at his AWI
collection. I was speechless for about half an hour while browsing the
shelves. John has thousands of hand made figures, in my favourite 30mm
"Tall and Animated" style, depicting units at 1:10. These really
are big units and look great on the table. The range of figures, the standard
of painting, and the many imaginative vignettes defy description. All
the pictures in the gallery are from the game that John and I played that
day. What should have been a containable game turned into a seven hour
epic in which both sides experienced outrageous swings of fate. It was
truly a hard fought fight and we declared a bloody draw. As you can see,
the terrain and figures are of the highest quality and are indicative
of the rest of the troops, arrayed in the cabinets awaiting their turn
on the table. Hopefully in time, and with John's permission, I will post
some more pictures from his amazing collection.
