| Hmm, something about this looks familiar. |
The Morschauser-like, "each stand is a unit", approach has many attractions and strong points for me and works great for my 16thC armies but at the end of the day, the trials have convinced me that, for my Toy Soldier armies, I am happiest with slightly larger, named, distinctive, units that can show formations and attrition and develop a history and traditions. (OK its actually me that does that part but its easier when units are fewer and distinctive.) It also gives me the option of using A Gentleman's Wargame.
So, the rules and basing have regressed and the armies are again ready for the test of battle.
Have the best of both worlds - each stand is a sub unit that can sometimes be on detached service. Like sometimes it's DBA, sometimes DBM - one element from a DBM unit makes a unit in it's own right for DBA.
ReplyDeletePrecisely. The difference is that the larger units are not adhoc and fully interchangeable.
DeleteThe tradition of units developing traditions has a long and noble history in wargaming and so adds to the fun of things.
ReplyDeleteA very impressive lineup.
ReplyDeleteAlways great to see those Guardsmen on the table Ross.
