Forgive this long piece, but as the wife is out tonight, I've been looking online at bagpipes in combat (and will move on to the more interesting websites that Noddy told me about later). Most of what

Lards I tend to agree with Dazza, getting into national characteristics is a minefield. We can find similar descriptions for other troops eg Ghurka's who didn't need pipes for the bad guys to be

Lards I think that to us Anglo-Saxons (although on my mother's side I am quite Norman) the pipes would probably mean less than to a Scot (or even a celt, as the Irish had them as well). It would

However getting into national characteristics is what the rules are about. We use a number of factors to differentiate each nation, giving certain bonuses, using different numbers of Big Men to

Colours, Pipes, Drums, Whistles and Bugles were all about command and control. The introduction of radio nets improved the battalion/company co-ordination but not the Platoon/section situation. The

Haven't you heard "Deutschland Deutschland Uberalles" on the bagpipes? And hopefully you never will. Were the peeps as effective later in the war as many replacements to Scottish units were not

Aynsley, Not too well read on the campaign - the naval conflict was one of the most interesting of WWII. take a look at http://www.nuav.net/Nouniforms.html. looks like very little in the way of a

I rest my case.

Your right, the caption on the pic states they were used for policing. But knowing the frogs, maybe some had surrendered before the outbreak of hostilities.

Nod Saw that first site the other day. The officer's "kepi" is pretty easy, I'll just use the heads from 1870s Wurttemburgers, but the Finnmarkslue, as you so eloquently put it, is less clear. I

Sounds good to me, there was always a chance that vision blocks or visors etc would be hit and any calibre bullet whizzing round inside a tank would make the crew uncomfortable to say the
