Guess this is a better solution, pestering this Forum with my divagations was not a good experience for you because this is a BACCUS forum (and I really fear Reeducation Camps). I deal in too many things and scales I guess.

By the way thanks to all Forum members who have appreciated, very kind of you. I can be contacted at adb@andorra.ad (if need be). No comments allowed on my blog  because to permit comments on my blog  seems to allow spam of any kind to pester ME!...  In fact I called it a Blog... but my sons have already explained in detail to me this is not what is generally termed "Blog"... they are right of course!... it is more a collection of Posts about things I did not have rambled about on my book... a real time actualization of it... and all I have been doing since 2016. Thought better to clarify a bit... I do update things in them posts but it is not a "diary". Cheers.

Very impressive stuff there Alejo.

So it is. always need reminding, same with Trafalgar Day.

I have had a peek around your blog today.  Very nice!  I don't think I could have sold all of those figures though...

What a lovely blog! Thank you for sharing your hobby with us.

Interesting read. My dad used to have that Big Horn game, that along with 'Campaign' was my introduction into wargaming. Then when he showed me his ACW Union army I was hooked!

I had a Little Big Horn board game with miniatures when I was a boy. I'm not sure if it's the same one as yours though

Just enlarged your photo of the board game. The one I had was a thick board that folded in half and the figures were slighlty smaller. Perhaps 25mm

Also had the Little Big Horn Game in the 60s. The figures that came with it were pretty well painted at the time. Don't ever remember winning with the cavalry. Also had Brian Horrocks' Battle. It was a gridded game on a shiney green board to which 2D plastic scenery, such as hills and woods, could be temporarily added simply by using hand pressure. The two sides had guns, tanks and planes.

Thanks for all the kind comments . The LBH old boardgame with minis (the missing link between  boardgames/hexagons and kriegspiel wargames) included what they were originally plastic painted figures... circa 25mm seems appropiate description... of course the originals are gone forever due to too many generations of kids playing with them... I rescued the grid in extremis!... quite battered if you please... thanks for the comment.             Thanks Iain I must be as old as your father... very difficult to win for the Cavalry... only indecently lucky throws of the dice may save you... bitter experience!  Thanks Sean too.           I got three of them METAURO... LITTLE BIG HORN... and ALAMEIN... the last with tanks, planes, guns, infantry 3D those pieces and a desert grid... the last one inevitably lost forever... still got the first two though.
