British Infantry, from the dawn of time!!!

[Harry Faversham]

Released by Almark, and if memory serves sculpted by Charles Stadden for a battleboard game I can't remember the name of? The figures had a prong on the bottom of their stand which fitted in holes all over the battleboard, you had a spring loaded popgun that traversed beneath the board which blasted the little man into orbit to splashdown under the sideboard, that's if you'd guesstimated yer ranges correctly...

I've still got some in use, mixed with some others.

Here's the same lads after a tickling up...

The Symbolic British Lion caught my eye. BB

Sadly, 'Assualt Regiment Lion' never lived up to expectations, the Dice Gods humiliated them at every turn. So much so that my dastardly foes called them 'mere guarders of power stations'!. So humiliated was the unit it sulked in it's tents for nearly 25 years. The plague has stopped said dastadly foes travelling to the new Emporium by the Seaside...
a perfect chance for the Regiment to re-emerge and commence intensive trayning!

Almark figures very hard (impossible) to get nowadays.
See they the very first time "live" and painted.

Thanks for sharing.

I've a Tupperware dish full of unpainted ones, if anyone's interested?

I had some - they may still be around somewhere, but I don't ever recall, the stud on the bottom. I may have mistaken it for sprue and trimmed it off.

[Harry Faversham]

Yep, them studs fitted into the holes in Triang's ''Battlegame' from the 60s. A tub of the original figures had different coloured, gloss painted helmets, that had a points value in the game.

You probably got the Almark set like me, they came on a normal sprue
