To address the initial post, it looks like the Lard community is finally
moving wholesale to Bluesky and abandoning Xhitter.

The Jitters
Lardies --
I need your help. What term would have been used in Napoleonic times if someone had "the jitters"? Like a new recruit being very nervous in battle.
Thanks

Re: Any possibility of moving from X/Twitter to BlueSky?
Rich has moved over, under the usual handle. There's a "Too Fat Lardies Games" feed that picks up posts tagged with the usual #spreadthelard (I think that's how it works).

A prone MG loader could easily be converted to a guy pushing a bangalor torpedo (but honestly, I just want an identifiable figure).? For a medic I used an AT leader, made a simple bag out of green

If you've got the figs to use that sounds like a good plan.? I use something similar with tripod MMGs or mortars: walking/carrying figs for when the team is moving (and therefore can't fire), and

Dear Tom,
Thank you. This is very helpful and encouraging.
Also, thank you for the photo of your own figure conversions (although - for some reason - I cannot see it now!).

FWIW in 15mm you don't need to be super detailed.? I made my Bangalore torpedo men by finding a rifleman is a reasonable position then cut off the rifle, and made a bundle of brass wires that his

Hello David,
Thanks for the reply.
I'm mainly interested in World War Two British and German infantry for NW Europe and the Mediterranean plus paratroopers of both nations.
