Naval Brigade

To refight the Battle of Graspan I need some figures to represent the Naval Brigade. This was a small unit comprised of Sailors and Royal Marines from HMS Doris (what a great name for a ship) who played a significant part in the action.  The force had a strength of less than 400 men so they will be represented by a half-unit of 12 figures in my game.


The figures are all by Jacklex and are really meant for a slightly earlier period, but they will suit my needs.

  2. I do hope Doris’ boys remember to bring along one of her 4.7” QF guns to sort out those itinerant farmers.

    1. They do have one but sadly the OOB will not allow it for Graspan!

  3. That's a tough looking unit that you've got there Ian, very well done! Doris' finest look like they can't wait to put those bayonets to use and that should strike some fear into the Boer's hearts!
