Some thoughts on recent playing

 Greg, Roger and I (the usual suspects) have been the Friday afternoon irregulars since November.  Almost every week we've enjoyed Armageddon, Mansions of Madness, Pikeman's Lament or Chosen Men.  Yeah, pretty eclectic. There is a track here to smaller figure counts, even as we paint up our piles of Napoleonic lead into usable units.

Pikeman's Lament

We have recently started playing the scenarios in the book once we assembled forces from our collections. So far, it's been the 'usual suspects,' Roger, Greg and myself.

Greg has put together a couple of solid lists with dragoons, pike and shot... often accompanied by a light gun.


Roger has put together a Scots based force, complete with some clansmen.

I managed a set of Polish forces and one more or less Zaporazian Cossack list. It is heavy on muskets, one cavalry unit and some forlorn hopes.



 We have played the standard meeting and river crossing and tried the raid scenario once as well. 




 It's good fun, next time I'll try to take photos and notes for a proper AAR.

Greg's Horse against Roger's Clansmen.  Real hammer and tongs game where a river runs through it.
