What!?

Apparently the four stands of cavalry that I added to my 16thC armies last year, have not yet been exposed to the rattle of dice, the confusion and the joy or pain of battlegaming.


Orders have been issued to  correct this oversight at the first opportunity.

  1. A wargame figure who hasn't dared to die from rolling a die?...who hasn't felt the tabletop felt?...who hasn't had brushed The Hand Of God after being brushed?...
    Such figures are surely in need to "seen the cat" in the near future!

    1. Oh tosh, none of my soldiers have died from dice, a couple maybe lost a head or an arm maybe from a rogue one, and there's no soft felt playroom for them, they trod boards like all good actors.

      As for cats, well that they have seen from before the day their little eyes were dotted on.

  2. New units historically don't fare well in their first encounter on the tabletop .

  4. To avoid them bolting first go how about placing the dice next to them for a few days before rattling them?

    Works on pets.

    1. Now where would be the fun in that! But perhaps I should make a note not to place anyone behind them at the start!

  5. If that front unit is some sort of border horse, they’ll have snuck out and been harrying someone without you knowing about it!
