Title: Dangschat Greek War of Independence
Post by: JerryMort on March 09, 2021, 10:27:25 AM

This is Dangschat's set of figures for the Greek War of Independence in 1821. Some personality figures including Kolokontronis, Miaoulis, Laskarina Bouboulina and Lord Byron. There were a couple of very good articles on this set by Panos Charalampakis in Journals 87 and 88.

This is an interesting and somewhat forgotten part of history.  Here is a new figure announced on PlanetFigure of a Greek General being somewhat close to row 4, 4th from the left on Jerry's picture:

This appears to be a quite colorful flat set with a little bit of everything!  (I love the additions of buildings or large ships with the figures which is always an interesting touch and provides some nice balance - though casting some of them must be a major challenge!)
