For those Featherstone fans, esp those with a connection to Battles with Model Soldiers, and those who enjoy a blow by blow look at how a set of rules plays, I recommend dropping over to Steve's Random Musing blog for his refight of the intro scenario from said book using Regimental F&F. Now, it came as a jolt to me that, although I have reread the original a hundred times or more, I have no memory of playing it out. Odds are I did when I was 15 and my copy of the book new but I have no memory. This is going to be a busy month what with wrapping up a business, moving house etc but I should be able to find time for this.
Now technically I should probably use some of these lads (shown above) but I have a hunger on me to get my shiny 40s on the table. The plan is to run through this short scenario, the 3rd, all arms version, using the original deployment and following the original battleplans as closely as events allow, using various rules. An exercise for Black Powder, a comparison to the latest version of With Macduff, probably Charge! since its on mind after the recent games and possibly Featherstone's own.

Sincere flattery
Born and raised in the suburbs of Montreal 7 decades ago. Began playing with toy soldiers at 5 years. Started painting & converting at about 12 yrs and wargaming about 15 yrs. Never really stopped.
5 years in the Black Watch of Canada Cadets, 5 years at the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean followed by 4 in the navy. 25 years with CPC in IT simultaneous with 23 years running a boarding kennel. Inherited my love of toy soldiers from my mother's father. Married with a pack of litle Italian Greyhounds and a cat. Prematurely retired and enjoying leisure to game, maintaining our 170 yr old farmhouse and just living.
