Manners FK, manners!

Hi slimreidy, welcome to the forum. Despite what you might think given the first reply to this post the forum is generally good humoured, supportive and knowledgeable! Hope you find it informative and fun.

Loved the batrep. Nicely painted figures on great terrain backed by a well written report, well done.

Commiserations on the outcome of the battle, I look forward to more batreps like this.

Vive L'Empereur!!

Well the very first one says Blackpowder game, so I wonder what happened. The game looks very impressive. Nice one!

Excellent little game, Slimreidy. Nicely painted figures. Who makes the little buildings?

Oh, and welcome to the forum. You'll get used to our little quirks if you hang around.  :)

Well done the Austrians, but flicking thru your blog I sense a theme - I think you need a complete new set of dice, especially so for rolling saves and command!

Btw what figures are you using for the Italian wars, and do you have a copy of your lists? I was goin to use P&S but am more and more tempted towards Impetus!

Go for it Toxic. They are my go to rules nowadays for the Italian Wars. Now building Flodden armies for Impetus.

My other group plays it in 15mm with Impetus & it works really well. It's just I reckoned I could sell the club on P&S easier... But I've swing back to Impetus tbh!

Need a few more figures for back ranks of pike though. Tragic :D

Hi, the Italian War figures are a mix of Black Hat Miniatures 15mm renaissance range and Museum Miniatures Landsknecht range. The lists are actually from the Pike and shot rule book.

Cheers

Sorry, Neil, I meant not which army lists did you use, but what did you actually pick from said lists :)

If you still have a copy, and have time to say what they were :D

Hi

All the buildings apart from the barn are from 'Total Battle Miniatures' from the Black Power Europe range which are sold by Pendraken. The barn is from hovels.

Cheers
