Not-So Merry England: progress UD 20/11/24

[Silent Invader]

Thanks chaps 

Sounds like a big project for a club. But you are always like 20 Men when you dive in project. Looking forward for the result and will learn, Obi Silent Invader.

It sounds a lot Dirk but it’s not too much as I’ll make the boards as I need them and I already have most of the loose terrain to put on them.

That's a really clever and well thought out plan. I always thought the best way to maximise board layouts is with 2x2 square boards, but you've shown how you can make 2x4s give loads of options.

There's an excellent article, essentially a step by step with good quality pictures on Clarence Harrison's Quinda Studios blog here:

It's all very high quality stuff- to the same standards of what we can expect from Silent Invader.

A really interesting campaign system - thanks for sharing.

Thanks Charlie. Darrell beat me to replying, but it’s not an original approach. If you check out the Quindia Studios blog he has a great series of articles on it. This link is to a repost by the author but I think it was first written about 10 years ago.

Excellent deduction Darrell.  . Quindia has been a go-to blog and inspiration to me for a long, long time.

Thanks. It’s well worth checking out the blog of the guy who inspired me as he has lots of other good ideas.

Great idea to use a “table-map” ...for want of a better phrase...makes the campaign much less abstract.

Thanks Matt. 

I’ve now completed the third cavalry unit For The King, which gives me 18 horse. In the first battle of the campaign they’ll be fighting Parliament’s 18 foot.

For the two forces (Blue coats for The King, Green for Parliament) the only bare-headed minis will be the two Colonels. For aesthetics only, I’ve also given each unit an officer with a sash, though under The Pikemans Lament rules only the respective Colonel will confer advantage. .

For the King (14 points):

Colonel Sir William Alting with his Companions (Elite Trotters, 6 points)



Mr Myles Tennison and his Horse (Trotters, 4 points)



Mr Francis Cornell and his Horse (Trotters, 4 points)



For Parliament (14 points):

Colonel Sir Quentin Gibbs and his Companions (Aggressive Forlorn Hope, 6 points)



Mr Oliver Rennell and his Foot (Forlorn Hope, 6 points)



Mr Fredrick Caulfield and his Foot (Commanded Shot, 2 points)



Next: the campaign will start..........

Two very nice forces and a great paint job to bring to life those figures.  Looking forward to seeing how the campaign goes  .
