Eureka Miniatures: 28mm WW1 Gallipoli Diorama Released


Eureka Miniatures: Bringing a little light-heartedness to this often grim subject, we present the iconic image of a much loved ANZAC larrikin tradition: troops of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps gambling on the fall of two pennies. Known as "Two Up" in the Antipodes, the game is still played today. Most notably it is only legal to play, outside of certain casinos, on Anzac Day (25th April).The scene shows a Senior Officer stumbling across a group of Diggers absorbed in their illicit recreation.
