Warlord Games Epic ACW Battles

The rules on the other hand are a stroke of genius.

I'd imagine Black Powder (plus a bit of Glory Hallelujah) would fit into a slim A5 volume.

IF:
   They dump all the "fluff and photos".
   They re-write it in modern English, and stick to "Just the rules" rather than musing on the sort of 'gentleman' who doesn't field full teams with his caissons.

I love Black Powder as a toolkit, but find the writing style and lack of indexing infuriating.

I also cut my OG infantry apart and mounted them individually.  I do like OG cavalry though.  My OG are confined to Kingdom of Jerusalem and Ayyubids at Hattin and  I also have a Hastings collection using Pendraken's Saxons and Normans.  I find them significantly 'better fed' than OG, particularly the cavalry.  I tend to keep my armies to one manufacturer as much as possible.  On a positive note the concept of a boxed set, with terrain and rules, is a good one potentially, particularly for historical scenarios, like Hougoumont at Waterloo or Rorke's Drift for example.

of interest is also the fact hat Warlord do not doe a 28mm ACW line in plastic, while Perry do ..... so they can launch this without any impact on their 28's other than the signal it may send that other periods may follow, but as a single tester product in the market, it looks a safe trial for them and any sale is a sale that is new money.

My little wooden men are 96 figure units - 12 strips of 8. I know they are flat, and thus a bit easier, but the secret is to paint them as a strip, especially if you undercoat with the jacket colour.
So spray grey, and use a wider brush than you might think to do all the legs in one go by painting them as a stripe, etc. You'd be surprised how quick they get done

I don't like strips.  Old Glory 10mm infantry come in strips and are not really compatible with any other 10mm range.

Well they have worked exceptionally well in my 10mm SYW Prussian army, both the strips of musketeers and the individual cavalry. My Prussian grenadiers and fusiliers are Pendraken and work well when based as if a four figure strip, one behind the other, ie 8 figures on a 25mm square base.

Well I was going to put a couple of my facebook photos in, but as usual some millenial thought it would be a great idea to revamp facebook and now I can't find anything other than complete bloody strangers wanting to be my friend. WTF is wrong with these people?

The IT dept has to justify it's existance don't you know.....

complete bloody strangers wanting to be my friend. WTF is wrong with these people?

I agree, why would anyone want to be your friend?
