Fall-ing Back

A slight detour before I get on with the 40mm tricorne stuff.

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.

  2. Every 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.

    1. There is something about them despite some minor quibbles about equipment. Certainly the only way to get a unit marching properly.

  3. A wargame does not get any more "proper" than this!

    1. I 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.
