I'm satisfied that I can have an enjoyable, small, quick, simple skirmish/company level action on my table and I like sharing common systems across wargames to ease the strain on my brain and mid game confusion but........I also want to maintain the ability to play a good ol' fashioned division or corps level, battalions as units, rulers and dice, 3 hour long wargame.
Airfix & ACW, my kind of traditional. Just gettin' underway. |
This is why I've been hanging on to Hearts of Tin and why I've gotten hung up every time I try to harmonize it. Got it again! Hearts of Tin is for this stuff.
Great looking battle line!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I do have a fondness for these "boys".
DeleteSplendid - is that Brigadier Kinch I see?
ReplyDeleteNot since the spring when he was promted to Division Commander.
DeleteEvery time I see Airfix Civil War figures in action I want to get my figures out. I still think that Airfix ACW figures are better than other plastic ACW figures.
ReplyDeleteThere is something about them despite some minor quibbles about equipment. Certainly the only way to get a unit marching properly.
DeleteA wargame does not get any more "proper" than this!
ReplyDeletePainted green tabletop maybe?
DeleteDo you think HoT will work with Napoleonics?
ReplyDeleteI used to have a 7 Years War and French Revolution modules so yes the system can work with appropriate period troop types and special rules like infantry squares etc. However I never did get back to cleaning up the rules and making a final, official version after a per period of much experimenting. I would still like to do that but don't know when/if I will get to it but feel free to play around with it.
