As usual you've addressed an interesting issue.<br /><br />I've been toying with the idea of trying some of Grant's "Programmed Scenarios" for some solo play at some point . . . and, like you, I will need to consider just how many troops I want to use.<br /><br /><br />-- JeffBluebear Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05171345165563779232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-66891626619694613722011-10-01T20:52:01.327-03:002011-10-01T20:52:01.327-03:00A thought provoking post Ross - I've been thin...A thought provoking post Ross - I've been thinking along the same lines myself of late. <br /><br />I think in some ways it helps to define what it will take to make you happy.Conrad Kinchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15683395740934527502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-22136560576099449902011-10-01T20:25:51.860-03:002011-10-01T20:25:51.860-03:00Hi Ross

In which case we should all live forever.<br /><br />Regards,<br />JohnThe Ferrymenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07741552972862333515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-78673982558505421642011-10-01T16:38:57.368-03:002011-10-01T16:38:57.368-03:00Ross Mac,
You and I both seem to be struggling wi...Ross Mac,<br /><br />You and I both seem to be struggling with a similar problem; a desire to rationalise without reducing our options.<br /><br />For example, I have a set of two tables that give me a 3' x 4' in their usual configuration (and are therefore ideal for my Portable Wargames) but can be extended to 6' x 4'. That said, I cannot remember the last time they were set up in their larger configuration.<br /><br />I have a large collection of 20mm WW2 figures, but most are based for Megablitz, which is really suited to big battles. I have been buying lots of 15mm tanks and vehicles because I have a long-term aim to refight the opening moves of Operation Barbarossa, and cannot envisage doing that in 20mm (although I am thinking of using small 20mm figures with the 15mm vehicles in order to get some use out of the pile of unpainted figures that I own).<br /><br />I also have the late nineteenth/early twentieth century imagi-world project I am working on. This will have lots of small 'national armies' (and navies) and battles will be fought using my PW2 rules. Each army will have 20 to 30 figures, although some will eventually be larger. I think that I can paint that number of figures in 15mm quickly enough not to loose interest in each army before I move on to the next.<br /><br />Good luck with you next battle. I look forward to reading your battle report.<br /><br />All best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.com
