Full Army array |
That said, I have finally finished rebasing the Swedish/Protestant contingent for my Epic Thirty Years War project. The majority of the delays were the result of moving to individual blocks for the Infantry. This required a lot of trimming and cutting of the strips as well as painting up some extra figures to add some personality to each formation. I also opted to drop all of the smaller units down to 3"x1.5" bases rather than 3"x2" in order to make them look a little more cohesive on the table.

Swedish/Protestant Cavalry and Supporting Shotte |
I switched to 6 figures each for the Heavy Cavalry and 7 for the Cuirassier to make them easier to discern at a distance.

I have completed rebasing all of the Catholic/Imperial Cavalry at this point which leaves the Infantry. This unfortunately means that I have to make a decision on how I want to represent Tercios at this scale. More on that for the next post.
Thanks for looking
Impressive array of P&S units. At our recent convention, there was a very nice P&S Epic game.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean. I haven't seen too many pictures from Enfilade other that what you posted. I admit I haven't made it over there in over 20 years. Perhaps now that it is back near Federal Way, I can make the sojourn.
DeleteAwesome looking collection!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sir!
DeleteVery impressive sight!
ReplyDeleteGeorgetown's Wargaming Society is hosting a lecture on Tuesday about gaming the TYW. It may be of interest to you.

Thanks, I am going to listen in on it. My directorate did some similar style Wargaming at USEUCOM last year for program development. I am always interested in seeing professional applications.
DeleteTried the seminar, but after an hour of "waiting for the host to start the meeting" I am having COVID flashbacks....
