Hello from Whitley Bay

[Amblingalong]

Hi,
I painted some 20mm and 25mm figures quite a few years ago but I packed it all in.
I feel like I want to have a go again and paint up the armies for the battle of Flodden, so I'll be asking for rule and basing recommendations.

Welcome, and ask away....

Hello and welcome

Welcome.



I'm not an expert in the period, but I think I've captured the Scottish V1 quite well. 


There are others here who will be very helpful.

Welcome Amblingalong

I'll admit it took me a few seconds to twig on the name

Basing is often dependent on the rules selected so that's where I'd start

Do you have any rule sets you've played and liked, this could help guide suggestions

[Amblingalong]

paulr,

When I last had a go I joined in other peoples wargames so I can't remember which rules were used.
I do have one rule book 'Battle' by Charles Grant for WWII gaming, I bought it as a kid and can't seem to let it go.

Not a big fan of commercial rules. However, I have a few of the Osprey sets and they're a good read and quite inspiring. Flodden would fall between Lion Rampant and the Pikemans Lament.

Hi, welcome onboard. 

I think I'd suggest Lion Rampant over Pikeman's Lament for Flodden. PL feels just a bit later in its character - but the rulesets have a lot in common. Both are aimed at single based 28mm figures, but can work pretty easily with multi-based 10s. 

But I think I'd be suggesting Irregular Wars over the Rampant series - I think its a better game, its focused around this era, and is aimed at smaller multi-based figures.

Thanks again
