Caesar WWI Germans & Bresica Miniatures

The fantastic WWI German Assault Troops are shown here in the Bresica Miniatures trench.

The soldiers fit perfectly in the trench. I like that they can fire over the top of the trench line. I like that they can also stand behind the mound of the trench and fire forward too. The trench is nice and wide so the figures can move around without their stands being too large.

The rear of the trench has a nice sandbag part. I think it fits the dip in the back of the trench so that the sandbags could be removed and made into an opening so they can bring in supplies without having to climb over the trench top.

This trench model provides good cover to the troops. This trench will work well from about the American Civil War until Tuesday of next week. It is a good trench, and being resin is nice and heavy. I don't like vacuform terrain because one tiny bump and all the figures fall over. The Caesar WWI Germans are a great set and I highly recommend them.

Bosnians & Bresica

One of the Bosnian Infantry from Odemars is sneaking around the corner of a Bresica Miniatures terrain feature. Notice how nice the sand bags sag and droop, like real sandbags. I hate it when they make sandbags out of stacked Chiclets.

The Bresica Miniatures terrain is sold by Michigan Toy Soldier company and is a high quality resin terrain. It is flash free and comes both painted and unpainted. I like the step feature that allows wargame troops to be positioned exiting or entering the position without having to balance on some sloping terrain. Their products come in both 1/32 and 1/72 scales.

The really shows off a feature I really like about this terrain. The soldiers are firing over the parapet, but under a log. Troops often used logs to reinforce their positions and firing from under a log made the shooter less visible against the background.

The same terrain part from the rear, I like the work on the trench wall, good support to prevent the cave in of the dirt onto the shooters. These Odemars troops fit well with the new Caesar German Mountain Troops. These troops wear the fez as do many of the Caesar set. By combining both sets you have a nice variety for a unit of SS mountain troops. This is about the last time in history soldiers used the fez as part of their combat uniform, so they are interesting for that reason too.

Odemars are on sale until the 15th of this month, free shipping and buy one get one free, contact Yves at boiteplastic@aol.com for full details. They also sell an interesting line of buildings so check them out.

New Terrain.

Michigan Toy Soldier carries a new line of 1/72nd scale terrain called Bresica Miniatures. They are made in the USA, right here in California, not too far from me.




Bresica Miniatures now makes a new line of 1/72nd scale terrain. It is cast in resin and sold both painted and unpainted.


Terrain items are suitable for the gunpowder era, and in this photo we see a group of Caesar WWII Germans taking position in a trench line.

More Caesar Germans entering a covered position.

Italeri 75mm gun position with Caesar Germans. Note the retaining wall holding up the dirt positions. That's a nice detail.

Another small anti-tank gun position. Again the Italeri PaK 40. These are some nice looking terrain pieces, and you can't have too much terrain. So check out the Michigan Toy Soldier Company website and buy some bunkers. http://www.michtoy.com/
