  • New to Great War

    I am looking to make the plunge into Great War events but I have invested a lot of money into a civil war kit. How much can I use of it for Great War? Any advice on how to repurpose items would be great!

    I use my 14th Brooklyn kit for early-war French with no problem. Remember, all that stuff that the hardkewls told you you couldn't use at a CW event is perfectly fine for WWI! So, enamelware, Coleman lanterns, you name it! Have a ball!

      I have been using my entire CW kit for my "Lawrence of Arabia" desert bedouin support unit for years...without complaint or historical inaccuracy.
