Before playing the next game in the French Indian War campaign, I thought I would get in a quick WW2 game and setup the tabletop.

| British in prepared defensive positions |

| German forces move forward |
This weekend I plan to get my first English Civil War unit painted up and work out the painting technique to use. As usual I will be using 4x3 inch bases so they fit nicely on the 6 inch gridded tabletop.

| 6 musketeers, 4 pikemen, Standard and Officer |
If you are wondering why the flag is blue. It is because I use painters masking tape to make the flag. It sticks well when you wrap it around the pole, and can later be easily shaped.
I like the combination of Pike and Musket on the same base - I'm very interested in how such combined arms units will work in your rules.
ReplyDeleteThe combination or pike and musketeers does go well with larger bases. For rules they will most likely be a OHW rules variant.
DeleteLooking forward to watching your ECW project grow. Another FIW battle awaits!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I hope to get the next battle played out today or tomorrow.
DeleteYour 25mm ECW Project looks and sounds interesting- look forward to following your progress.
ReplyDeleteThe ECW project will be my main project for the year. I expect, or hope, to take 6 to 9 months to complete it.
DeleteInteresting that your allowing a good length of time to complete the ECW project- I can learn from this- instead of rushing towards completion- it is better to pace things out.
DeleteFrom past experience I average one unit of about 10 figures per week, and I have 32 units to paint without any additional purchases. I am still playing games and drafting up rules while painting these figures. So I try and keep a balance to my wargaming activities.
