Got the e mail today, confirming the first packs of my
new project are on the way.
French Indian wars.

Hopefully it arrives quickly!

Looking forward to seeing it progress, some quite nice looking figures in that range.
Well it does take a while for the pony express to get out of smoggy :D
the pony express is fastest out of Smoggy.
(who wouldn't run from the Boro!!!!!!!) :o
its when it gets to Germany it slows down (likes to walk and admire the scenery) ;D

All the bits of Germany I saw were flat !

I live in Bavaria, just outside Nuremberg so plenty of hills and larger near me.
the scenery is stunning around here.

I was there as a Airfoce cadet at Guterslow, and as an officer cadet on the North German plain for 2 weeks.
Ian
I was stationed in Gutersloh in 2010-2012
when I was in the British Army.
now I work for the American Army
as a private contractor.

I take it you're gearing up for Plassey?
Wrong continent - American colonies !
Very few Indians there.
Parcel arrived yesterday.
got them out awesome sculpts.
only problem is rules and basing :-
will have to think on that I guess.
was thinking basing 2-3 to a base 20-25mm then using small skirmish rules.

Sean
I think it would be individual for those wars, mostly forest fighting

Muskets and Tomahawks are an excellent set of rules, if you can get hold of them. Pretty easy, fairly quick, and the mini scenarios that get set up for personal missions are fun.

I have been looking at Muskets and Tomahawks just ive seen a few other recommendations.

I was thinking in small groups due to the fact I know it was mostly in forested areas. but single based 10mm figures
with all them trees would be hard to keep track of. (not that im scared of individual figures got 6mm sci fi individually, and 6mm Necromunda)
and the figures based up in the photo's just seem to look a bit better in small groups.
regards
Sean
I stand corrected the figures are individually based ! ( :- now where did I see them based in groups of 2-3 ? or is Old Timers kicking in ?)
regards
Sean
No probs - it were just a sugestion, may be pairs would work though. If singles 12.7mm square bases are fine.
I've seen people do small groups for games like Rebels and Patriots, which is technically for individual-based models but works well with two or three 10mm on a similar-sized base. I've individually based some 10mm (well 12mm) fantasy figures on reasonably scenic bases, I think maybe 20mm or 25mm round. Any smaller than that could get pretty fiddly.
I've done 10mm skirmish on 1, 2, 3 basing, as used in some of the later Dragon Rampant based rules (Pikeman's Lament and Rebels and Patriots). With this you base 1, 2 or 3 figures on a base and have units of 6 or 12 figures. You end up with half the bases compared to the total number of figures, so movement etc is easier. But you always have options to take off any number of casualties. And it lets you arrange the figures in different ways, without having to worry about individual figure positioning. I think I went with 15mm, 20mm and 25mm bases.
Here's a photo

That's exactly the sort of thing I was thinking of, very nice Fred.
Even if I've seen those before, Forbes :-\.......Those look absolutely cracking! :-bd
Cheers - Phil :)
Cheers Phil, I did enjoy creating those, but not in a rush to do loads more
unfortunately I only get Internet on my Government work computer, 8)
so I cant see any of the photos or even download any photos of my own.

I'm guessing they'd frown on using a VPN to get around such security restrictions too. :(
I tend to use my phone for most browsing and forum stuff, I take it that's not an option either?
I have a UK sim so restricted on access over here.
Germans want too much info to get a German sim to use.

Sean
There are some international roaming data only sims you can get I think. Probably works out pretty pricey mind you!
Very nice skirmish bases, Fred.
Recently went daft (Again!) and bought some 1/32 'Armies In Plastic' figs for F&I War... AND ended up buying 'MASSIVE' box of 'Fish Tank' 'ferny'...ish vegettion! Think I may have misread the ebay ad! Nice figs... maybe someday... I NEVER learn. ;D
