Movement tray sabots SP2

[bradpitre]

Hello,
great !!, the two holes for the dice the same side would be perfect, and it would take 70 like this one
in addition, the artillery would require 30 base 65mm x 41mm with hole of 61mm x 31mm in the front and 6 holes of 5mm x 5mm distributed to the rear, this would be perfect if possible

No worries, can you send me the quantities and dimensions by email, and we'll get everything sorted for you.

Speaking of which, did you get my email Leon?

SP2 in 10mm?

Interesting idea

Yep, all received, I'll pop a reply through on Monday.

/quote]It works, although it's undeniably fiddly. I have played Chain of Command with 10mm too, and that's worse as it includes building interiors (SP & SP2 could as well, but I never have). The main thing to me is to simplify the minis, with all figures of one type being identical in colours, and differentiated by a single colour reference - the plume on their hat, a ring of colour around the base, etc. I'm not actually very interested in the period as history, only in the game, so uniforms of the period are just too complex for me to remember, so I just paint them something representative.

Well, I will some day... right now there's more undercoat than finished colour...

I'm also thinking to go this way ( as soon as I find some time ...  )
- I can reuse my terrains ( We already game CoC in 10mm)
- I like the scale ( we play 1inch = 2cm instead of 2,54cm. Easier to convert, and looks good)
- and .. I like Pendraken's mini 

So I'm watching this thread.

I'm a bit confused by Sharp Practice and its basing. I was assuming as a skirmish game it would be single based 28mm figures. But you guys are discussing sabots and I have seen some photos of 6mm figures on largish sabots for SP - probably 4x2 20x20mm bases.

So is SP individual based troops or is it a small unit with fugure removal, or something else?

It's both.

Sabot bases are best though!

The game uses single based figures, scale is normally illustrated as 28mm, but that's not vital ( I don't know what the 'ground scale' is, but in Chain of Command it's 15mm). When groups form up into Formations, it's common, and handy, to use sabot bases to move them as a Formation. Apart from making life easier moving the minis around, Formations give bonuses to firepower.Most groups are 8 or 10 men - groups of larger or smaller numbers, including groups that have taken losses, are in the rules, but ether those don't create Formations or can just be represented on one of the sabot with gaps left. I'm going for sabot with 8 holes & 10 holes.

Ta, that makes sense.

I was thinking about a few 10mm figures on a 1p or 2p coin, instead of a single 28mm figure.

The idea of being formed into a group makes sense - and therefore using a movement tray for this makes sense.

You mean : something makes sense, here, on this forum ?!

[fred.]

Its all relative.

I've been here so long, things kind of make their own kind of sense.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Forbes! If any of my relatives were here I would be worried!

[fred.]

We're all one big happy family, here in Pendrakenland.

Like the Munsters.

I thought about that but decided it wouldn't work very well.  Troops fire in two ranks in SP2 so I don't think it would look right.  Three 10mm models on a 20mm x 10mm rectangle would look excellent.  

Or I'm thinking of using my 10mm ACW stuff with six figures on a 25mm x 20mm base as two Sharp Practice men.  I'd keep track of single casulaties using markers.    



This would represent an eight man group.

But how will you represent a single man acting alone ? ( ie. a specialist ) or skirmish ?

Haven#t thought of that one yet :-)  2 or 3 figures on a coin probably.
