Set initially in late-Victorian era London, ('Flashman and the Tiger'), but hoping to cover all 12 of George MacDonald Fraser's books, (plus a lot more), I give you…. Although the main series of stories finishes in 1894, Flashman lives on until 1915 and appears in his late 80s in another Fraser novel, Mr American.Very much a WIP, and it's going to take months to complete with at least six different dio-drama bases and a bunch of figures and accessories still to be done:. One of the novels, Flashman and the Redskins, is in two parts: part one takes place in 1849–50, while the second covers 1875–76. The publication sequence of the books differs from the fictional chronology, with the time frame of some books overlapping. Flashman either has, or tries to have, sex with most of the female characters: by the end of the ninth book he estimates that he has had sex with 480 women. He also meets people who either were notable at the time-such as Benjamin Disraeli and the Duke of Wellington-or who became well known after Flashman met them-such as Abraham Lincoln. Despite his cowardice and his attempts to flee, he becomes a decorated war hero and rises to the rank of brigadier-general. When circumstances run against him and he is forced to fight, he often does so bravely and capably.

Although he is a coward who tries to run away from any danger, he is involved in many famous military episodes from the 19th century, often taking actions that cause or affect subsequent events, such as his flatulence affecting the Charge of the Light Brigade, or being the person who probably shot George Armstrong Custer.
