Yes the mortar and the mills bomb came later, so I omitted them from my project, the retreat ftom Mons 1914. I used HaT figures as well, very nice sculpts. I also used British infantry carved down to use as early war highlanders with kilts. For the Germans I used a mixture of HaT and Strelets, horse foot and artillery.

Nice! Memories from childhood... Grew up playing with these sets. Unfortunately the scale on the soldiers differed a lot. Example - Airfix Napoleonic brit infantry were so much larger than the french imperial guard, making it look stupid playing with them.

I don't know how this showed up but I wish I could paint figures this good

[@marklinnane1744]

Thank you. Patience is the main thing I think. Anyone is capable of doing a good job. 👍
