1066 Saxon Paper Army Completed

I am now at the last stage of completing my paper 1066 Saxon army. The last two units are about to leave the painting (or should I say cutting table). The army consists of 10 units although likely or not only 6 will be deployed, seeing I am planning for a few games using One Hour Wargame's scenarios.

• 4 x Housecarl units
• 2 x Select Fyrd units
• 2 x Archer units
• 2 x Mounted Warrior units
• 1 x Individual commander stand

The completed army

Whether or not I use the cavalry I have yet to determine, but having the mounted unit will allow for some variety within the games.

As I don't plan to remove stands during the games to track hits, paper soldiers look best when units have multiple rows. I decided I would make a test tracker as an alternative to using dice to track hits.

A clock face was found on-line and printed to find the best size.

The printed numbers were stuck to cardboard and the top also cut out.

A spare shield was cutout and glued to cardboard. This will be stuck on to a split pin paper fastener. 

All the pieces completed and ready to be put together.

And now I need to start working on the Norman army, which will hopefully only take 3-4 weeks to complete. During this time I can think about what rules to use, or modify, and read "A Wargamer's Guide to 1066 and the Norman Conquest" by  Daniel Mersey.
