It’s now August, thankfully a bit cooler again in the Southwest UK as it has been unusually energy-sapping hot in the last few weeks.
So in the summer sunshine, my thoughts naturally turn to snow and snowball fights, continuing the work on simple snowball fight rules with Alan (Duchy of Tradgardland) Gruber.

These figures have a useful snowballer figures (below left) in the form of these 45 mm-ish plastic copy of the Matchbox 1:76 / 1:32 US WW2 Infantry grenade thrower.
There is another figure throwing a grenade (centre right) who could have his rifle /SMG cut away as needed to make another snowballing figure.

Specia Forces! Still attractive pricing, cheap plastic Soldiers for a Pound 2020/21
Amongst these 42/43mm-ish plastic figures (top left) is again a useful copy of the Matchbox 1:76 / 1:32 US WW2 Infantry grenade thrower.
Very useful to convert into a military snowballer, as he is also quite well wrapped for winter.
The officer with binoculars (bottom left) can be an umpire of the Snowball fights.
These should be in action fairly quickly in a snowball fight scenario.
