I have a fondness for the Redoubt FIW range. I bought all the packs when they were first released (never painted any of them though lol)

I have most of their Indians in the same state of bare metal!

How best to designate "facing" with figures on circular bases? Easy enough with Regulars perhaps but Indians, Irregulars and those in more dynamic poses?

Facing - not a massive issue, if playing with mates we just use the front of the figures facing to show the front. You just get a -1 if you have to turn outside of 180 degrees to fire. If playing with more rule lawyer types just make a mark either side so you have the 180 line running through the figure.

My apologies - wrong thread.

Thanks Rich
