Thanks everyone for your kind comments, got Adolf finished but sadly didn't take a photograph.

We are still working on the rules, but you are able to expand without leaving units on the original territory, every player starts with 3 base tiles that each generate 3gold per Taxation. Tiles with neutral houses provide increased tax gold aswell.

You can maneuver your forces through tiles you do not control as long as there are no enemy units in adjacent territories.

As I'm making more forces for each faction, they will be having infantry split into 4 and 2 man bases. Uneven numbers after  a battle are rounded up.

Also I'm thinking about giving infantry a dice in the ranked attack order so that they will inflict casualities on either a 5 or 6. Just because in RISK durope, infantry serves no other purpose other than cannon fodder.

Victory conditions in our games would be to control a few certain territories on the map, or similiar.

I'll eventually write everything down for reference and I'll keep you posted. :)

Thank  You.

I can't wait for Your version of game any more  :'(

Are they buildings fixed on base  :-

I suppose those trees are hand made - Caryko Fuzzy Bump Chenille Stems Pipe Cleaners  :D

Do You have limit of figure bases that can be on the single hex or is traffic jam when You are battling?

It seems like it is an endless journey to get the game "finished" but everything is ready for the time being, just replacing old units with better sculpts and adding more versatility to troop numbers.

Buildings are indeed glued on the bases, but there will be a lot of extra hexes to use so you'll be seeing a different kind of battlefield everytime you play.

The trees are actually from Aliexpress/Alibaba? Also using Wish for some bigger trees. It was 17euros for 100 trees, different heights from 3cm to 5cm.

You raise a valid point on the traffic jam, I'm looking into restricting the movement. It might even add a new tactical depth in strategic unit placement! With restrictions on movement, you could "aid" your troops from adjacent hexes?

Wanted to share you guys some WIP pictures of the Pendraken minis I've got painted, also what size flags do you use for your standard bearers? I was thinking about making 13mmx13mm flags for starters? Maybe 13x15/17mm to style some of them up?

Excuse me sir,

Would you mind sending me a few photos of your flag carriers? Those would help me tremendously.

Thank you in advance.
