Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately,...Hello, Jon<br /><br />Thanks for the reply. <br /><br />Unfortunately, I have to go with what is available when it comes to miniatures. <br /><br />The only battles that the berets were worn was Tumbledown with the Welsh Guards and Goose Green with one one platoon (IIRC, Patrol platoon) because they where already out on an ambush and left their helmets at base camp when told to move on Goose Green. I can't recall if after Tumbledown if the British patrols went back to helmets or not. <br /><br />But being a gamer, hey, berets are bit of color and make the figures stick out! So I don't mind have some figures with berets on where in the really world they would have had helmets on.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Joe<br /><br /><br /><br />sapperjoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11851863340366393341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713065305733038296.post-35534262644990605302013-10-18T17:04:37.877-05:002013-10-18T17:04:37.877-05:00In the last battle, they all wore beret's as t...In the last battle, they all wore beret's as the deal was any one in a helmet was the enemy, trouble was No one saw fit to tell the Ghurka's.<br /><br />Your mortar is also the wrong type although I am being a bit Pedantic in this case.<br /><br />What rules are you using?<br /><br />Ta<br />JonJonathan Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17700637720466664704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713065305733038296.post-976029506606350712011-10-05T16:53:45.188-05:002011-10-05T16:53:45.188-05:00While it has been a couple years since I last look...While it has been a couple years since I last looked at pics of the Scots Guards, I thought they had Tams. <br /><br />Thanks!sapperjoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11851863340366393341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713065305733038296.post-26607348216552647122011-10-04T18:52:36.330-05:002011-10-04T18:52:36.330-05:00Joe
