Looking very good. Just completed my first campaign, as a Confederate. Didn't actually win any of the nine battles. Despite this it was good fun and I ended up as a Lieutenant-General with 28 epic points. In another campaign (different opponent) I'm half way through 1863 and Union. This one is going better although I only have two eagles (full colonel). In this campaign I've withdrawn once and in the last battle my opponent began to withdraw, but left his artillery on a ridge blasting away until I ran out of cards, but not troops.

Very nice indeed

The amazing thing is that they look good as a unit whilst the figures are really basically (some might say badly) painted.

They look good.

I'm not great at painting, so I just say that everything needs to be viewed at wargaming distance.

I go on the same basis as the great masters. If you go and look closely at some of the world's finest paintings, they're just blobs of colour. 

[Hertsblue]

Agree completely. You can paint for accuracy or you can paint for effect - and with a few notable exceptions the latter usually wins out for on-table "look".

[fsn]

I would add the Inverse Effectiveness rule. Those figures that I have lavished the most care and attention on have either been the first to fall underfoot. The ones who have the best paint jobs are the ones who magically attract dice rolls of "1".

That's my excuse anyway.

Looks fine to me!!

Derek, if that's what passes for basic/ bad painting then I despair of my own daubings.

They look the business to me!

Order arrived on Tuesady.    Some artillery and my general.



Next on the painting table, loads of infantry.

About the inf : Good folds on the flags... (obsessed, I told you.)
