Remembrance and Italian Armed Forces Day...and Caesarian Romans

The 4th of November is the Remembrance Day and the Italian Armed Forces Day.
It was the Victory in the WWI since Austria-Hungary surrendered the 4th.

Italy entered the Great War in 1915 against the Central Empires.

Italian units fought, other than Italy, on the Western Front, Balkans, Middle East and Far East.

4.000.000 fought, 600.000 died, 1.500.000 were wounded...




And now something about our 28mm Caesarian Romans,
the third part of our painting guide...



Five miniature for an Impetus base...OK!

Completed shields, silver drybrush for armour,
first two layers for the wood grain and washing for the helmet...

 dark washing for scabbards and belts...

 Happy Wargaming to All!

Always remember...

Today is the Remembrance day for British and allied. In Italy is the 4th of November.
However the Spirit is the same.

Here some words we already know and a today pic, not a lark
but a nice bird :-)



In Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

That mark our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead. Short days ago

We lived , felt dawn, saw sunset glow

Loved and were loved and now we lie

In Flanders fields.

Take up the quarrel with the foe,

To you from failing hands we throw

The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith  with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In Flanders fields
