One of the Wargames Illustrated offered some historical vignettes as a subscription renewal bonus. You could also buy the separately as well. I bought four or five different ones. In the center of this diorama is the two figure Wargames Illustrated set, supplemented by three figures from another manufacturer (which I cannot remember).

I’ve wanted to paint these for some time, and I finally got around to it. I couldn’t sleep at about 0300 this morning, so I completed the mud and the two tufts of grass.

I’ve always found the story of the Christmas truce both inspiring and tragically sad. There is a brief description on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_truce
