Hello, I,m Paul. I'm English but live in the Black Forest Germany.
There's no wargaming Clubs near me so I am a solo wargamer by default. I'm just about to start a Wars of the Roses Project using Pendraken minis and will use the Sword and Spear rules.
I have other 10mm projects in mind, would love to do SYW and I kind of started a Fantasy project which i hope to finish and use The Portable Wargame.
Cheerio for now

Welcome aboard.

WOTR and SYW are both enormous fun, and the ranges here for both are excellent.

What ho, Paul!

I'm not one who indulges in Lace Wars - anything between Malpaquet and Maida is of no interest - however, have you looked at the upcoming AWI ranges? They are really, really good sculpts.

Welcome.

Thanks!
No didn't know about that. What rules would you use with them?

Welcome on board !

Totally wrong person to ask, Old Boy. I write my own rules. 

However, I'm sure some kind, knowledgeable soul could reel off a few. There's probably a gross of numpties who also have a list.

Difficulty is spotting which is which. 

I myself, are proudly and firmly in the numpty category.

Hello and welcome

Welcome to the Forum!

Hello 

[fsn]

OK, leave me hanging.

I suggest that some clever, experienced, handsome, wise forumite will come up with a list of rulesets suitable for the late C18 and nobody steps forward.

Therefore either a) there are no erudite gentlemen on this forum (which is a distict possibily) or b) nobody plays late C18 (which  is less likely, but going to be a blow when Leon releases all those new  figures.)

sorry,
Would honours of war work?

No need to apologise. My comment was directed at the other members. Normally, they will pile in with suggestions for rule sets at various levels (army, brigade, skirmish.) I thought there would be some helpful responses by now.

Welcome !

Some of the chaps I know are doing AWI, going to the extreme of signing their souls away to Leon in exchange for 10mm shiny toys (okay, they work part-time as casters). I'll see what rules they're working with, I know they're building forces for a Bunker Hill scenario.   

[Roy]

Several members of the North Riding Wargames Group are painting up 10mm Pendraken AWI to play out a Bunker Hill scenario, using Little Wars TV 'Live Free or Die' rules.

Here's Dave Doc's 10mm 43rd Ft., from his 4th Dec. 2023 blog post

I have worked out a simple paint method over a white base with some speed paints and thin washes . This cut down the time to do the first British battalion . This was a 7 base unit - the 43rd Foot - chosen just as it had white facings which cut down paining time.

In case anyone is wondering, I am not Dave Doc / Deedles.

Thank you Roy.

So are you Beaky, Mick or Titch?

Harold.

It's always Harold.

Someone asks me what a person's name is, the answer is Harold. They then ask why Harold, and I do an Albert Steptoe impression.

I don't know why I've a reputation for being a little strange.
