Will's 6mm Pike & Shot Era Project

Oh, this is lovely. Really like the little scenic bases. This is really playing to the strengths of 6mm

Lovely stuff, they look really good. I did mine on 60 x 30 (Polemos) and I love the way they look.

Will, you're doing your 6's with a lot more effort than many put into their larger scale figures or bases - great stuff!

I can relate to keeping your project here "local" - the upside is you can tweak the rules till you're satisfied.....or you just get tired of tweaking. 

On the downsides - your chums and any of their feedback (or lack thereof) can disproportionately affect your efforts and enthusiasm.

Some of the best rules and game systems likely remain unpublished - as at the heart of them,  they're more passion projects than created to be commercial products.

EDIT - Wanted to link this ECW-style mat, that could function well as a gridded system possibly for your project (hope the link works - if it doesn't, the mat is available from Tiny Wargames, and listed as the English Civil War mat on their website) -

(the gridded artwork could even be used for a WW2 Normandy game system also - I was thinking) 

Appreciate the kind words!

It's a niche subject, in a niche scale for historical wargaming, which is a small enough slice of the miniature wargaming hobby, anyway!

Sure I'll release the rules when I circle back to them, but I don't the the effort and stress of me "wanting to do it right" with marketing and rules book design (given my professional background in those things) is worth it! Ha!

Very high praise coming from you. Love your work!

Thanks! Nice work yourself.

I know that 60mm frontage has become something of a common size at this scale, but I'm interesting in exploring what I can do as tiny dioramas with the larger bases.

Using 50x50mm, 100x50mmm, and 100x100mm for my largest units (tercios, big blobs of cuirassiers).

I've seen some very cool diorama style bases people have done for Epic 40k - ruined buildings, trees, streams (the Roll A One blog guy has also done streams on his 6mm bases). I want to try my hand at that.

Some seriously nice 6mm figures Will!! Great to have another 6mm gamer, um currently building a 6mm Napoleonic collection, and I know what to mean about intimidating piles of figures!

Sad to hear you're struggling to get players on board. But I have to say, I've found once people have figures to push around they can often be enticed to play some games.
