ECW Destroyed Units

[mollinary]

As Simon Miller and I draw closer to completing our adaptation of his To the Strongest ancient rules to the ECW I have worked up an Edgehill scenario to go the rounds.  It got a first outing at the TtS championships in Chalgrove just over a week ago (photos on Simon's blog: www.bigredbat.blogspot.co.uk ). 

I have also been having ideas on how to enhance the visual aspect, and am now working on 'destroyed unit' markers, to occupy space where units cease to be, and generally clutter the battlefield realistically.  Below are the some photos of where I have got to, using Pendraken's casualty figures and Pete Berry's Baccus basing system. Hope you like them.

Cool. I like the fallen pikes. I'd probably not have thought to have included them if I'd had done similar 

[mollinary]

Thanks Roy,

Yes, like you I would not have thought of the pikes until Simon mentioned it, and then it was obvious! The flag was a late addition, as I saw one on my painting board - I am quite pleased with the effect.

Some very nice ideas there.

Those are brilliant.

Hi Mollinary,
I had seen the pictures over at TMP and enjoyed looking through the pics on bigredbat.  Congratulations! The figures and the assembled units are quit impressive. The idea of destroyed unit markers is good and they look just excellent. I will - of course - steal the idea (but I doubt my execution will be nearly as good).

Hmmm, that idea has potential.

Reasonable stuff

These look good - I too like the idea of putting the pikes on the stand.

Do these have any in game effect?

I've thought a few times about leaving casualty markers on the table, so show the trail of the battle, and to act as rough ground for later fighting.

Hi Fred,

You have got it in one. The intention is to turn the wreck into rough terrain for the remainder of  the battle.

Very interesting - a good realistic idea, but not something often seen in rules.

Bice looking, good game idea, spot on
