Just so we senile old gits remember who we are supposed to be, I have found some photos which I rather like. These are to act as avatars for the players.
Oberleutnant Willi von Emvier, 1 Zug Kommandant, 26th (1st Magdeburg) Infanterie Regiment 'Prince Leopold von Anhalt-Dessau'
Oberleutnant Helmut von Vagabund, 2 Zug Kommandant, 26th (1st Magdeburg) Infanterie Regiment 'Prince Leopold von Anhalt-Dessau'
Colour Sergeant Neddy Snapcase, 1 Platoon, 'C' Company, 1st Battalion, Middlesex Regiment
Oberleutnant Willi von Emvier commands 38 infantry soldiers in 1 Zug and has a four-man Maxim machine gun team. Oberleutnant Helmut von Vagabund commands 37 infantry soldiers in 2 Zug and has a four-man Maxim machine gun team. Colour Sergeant Neddy Snapcase commands 28 infantry soldiers in 1 Platoon and has a four-man Vickers machine gun team. There are also a couple of surprise events which will remain 'under-wraps' until the day. The fighting forces are the figures painted by Silent Invader and the rules are written by the same rather talented individual.
“Gentlemen, We Will Stand and Fight.”

Original WW1 Wargaming Rules by Silent Invader for BLAM 2015
Shamelessly butchered and buggered about with by Mad Lord Snapcase for AshLAM ‘19

Superb!
Cheers, Michael.
Why is Oberleutnant Willi von Emvier wearing a coal scuttle on his head?
If he was naughty as a boy, Mrs. von Emvier would lock him in the coal shed. He used to put the coal scuttle on his head to stop the spiders from dropping on his head. In adult life, it became something of a habit to wander about dressed like that!
Its good to know these things, and explains a lot about ones fellows.
We still have the old jam making pan we used as a coal scuttle, I will get this out so that he can live without fear of spiders dropping on his head when he visits up north, it's the little things that will make him comfortable.
Very imaginative Martin :)
Thanks Frank, I see you have a miniature representing you in John's Little Whiskey game. Should be a great game.
