What a load of Balkans

Hi guys. I'm looking for suitable proxies for the Balkan Wars 1912/13. Namely Bulgarians, Greek, Montenegrans and Romanians. Thanks a lot

So as through a glass and darkly The age long strife I see Where I fought in many guises, Many names but always me.
So forever in the future Shall I battle as of yore, Dying to be born a fighter But to die again once more.

Hi Nigel,

Bulgarians: I'd suggest Russian WWI.

Greeks: I used British WWI for the line infantry; Irregular's French chasseurs alpins for the Evzones, but ACW Zouaves might work too

Serbs: I used Serbian WWI

Montenegrins: ACW Zouaves

Romanians: I suggest Austro-Hungarian field caps will work

Hi Chris

Thanks for that list. Very helpful.

Nigel (I am using BBB by the way)

Happy to hear that, Nigel! Konstantinos's "Bloody Big Balkan Battles!", presumably?

My Greek and Serbian armies are on display here. (Not Baccus figures, sorry - I took advantage of another manufacturer's painting service.)

BBBB, of course.
