Finally, from London War Room are 15mm figures from their Off the Beaten Path are figures from the Rajah Brooke in Borneo range. These figures will work exceeding well with The Virtual Armchair General 15mm The Kris and the Flame ships and of course with the rules from “And That’s The Way It Was” rules The Kris and The Flame. What a surprise that these all fit together!

Unless otherwise noted the figures come 12 to a bag for $4.00, bags received include:

RBB1 Royal Marines advancing with bayonet, 1 Officer, with pistol, 11 OR.

RBB2 Royal Navy Ships Crew, 12 poses.

The Officers all run about 18mm while the natives and Other Ranks are 17mm.

I like these figures, I’m not a 15mm guy (can’t see the bloody things to paint) but these I will paint (under high magnification) just to play The Kris and The Flame rather then pretend by using wrong 28mm figs. There is some flash, but not much. The figures are pictured on the page after next.

These figures, scale wise, will work with Falcon UK, Fantassin, Houston, Lancashire, and Old Glory 15s now 19th Century Miniatures. However, no other manufacturer makes 15mm figures for this era, Eureka or Sheltrum (I think just 25mm) might, but I’m not sure. The Dyaks and Malays will work with Fantassin’s Spanish American War figs.

If you like action between the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean these figures are a must. There are some figs available in 25mm from Sheltrum, but not in the variety pictured here.
