I have been reading a old book on Commando's and their training during WW2 ("From the sea" by Major Hugh Jass) and I was most surprised to find that they used ballet training to teach discipline and silent movement. I quickly decided to incorporate this fact into my wargaming by creating a 'Ballet' stand for special attacks. Using Matchbox Commando's I have constructed such a stand. Above a Platoon stand carring out various stages of the Pirouette. The rear of the Platoon, the Pointe work is clearly visible. I must ask Al if they still train this way, with Al being a man of many talents it would not surprise me...Fascinating stuff!
