It was a busy weekend of the non-wargaming sort but I managed a few things.
 |
| The reinforced 2nd Origawn Infantry drilling. |
Apart from the 4 new figures and rebasing a score or two of older ones, I also typed up several basic quick reference versions of the rules: on grid/off grid, morale tests vs rallying hits, 12 figure battalions vs battalions composed of 3 or 4 companies, each of 3,4, or 6 figures, and so on. These are all variations that I've tried over the last couple of years, in various combinations, so reviewing old blog posts allowed me to assess many of the pros and cons of each. Luckily, some of that 'work' was able to be done while minding puppies in the new outdoor pen or 1/2 watching tv during evening family time with some of the hounds.

| The new mixed with the old. |
At this time, a 2 sides of a page set of rules using many MacDuff features and battalions with 3 companies, has been printed and are ready to be tested at the first opportunity. This should come somewhere between Tuesday and Saturday.
Well, I have been keeping busy with QRS building, myself. Always good fun (and prudent) to get thoughts down before forgotten. I await seeing your test results.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to a weekend home alone, often good for hobby stuff!
DeleteLooking forward to seeing how the rules work and the game goes. Figures have much character about them.
ReplyDeleteThey do. I like multi-part moulds!
DeleteIs this going to be a birthday bash?
ReplyDeleteNo, more of a 'just me and the dogs' weekend type bash.
DeleteI should have such productive weekends when I'm concentrating on the hobby :) The officer in the campaign hat--love that "Smokey Bear" look of the era.
ReplyDeleteGreat, the new Captain now has a Nickname...thanks!
DeleteThey look a rough crowd - in the best possible way!
ReplyDeleteas long as they aren't disorderly after too many Spitits.
DeleteRoss, very nice indeed, and they mix perfectly with the old heralds because of the matching paintwork. I kept mine separate from traditional metal units but I stand corrected!
