Sad tale?

 “Mine is a long and a sad tale!' said the Mouse, turning to Alice, and sighing. 'It is a long tail, certainly,' said Alice, looking down with wonder at the Mouse's tail; 'but why do you call it sad?”

― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

You are doing a wonderful job there! Keep it up!

P.S. Have you seen the new Warlord command figures?   8)

If you are talking about the personalities, yes. I already have 3 of them though.

It is a gun gin for replacing cannons on gun carriages.

Lovely Cavalry.

At least you're sticking to one thing. I have a hard time keeping my attention on a single genre for more than a few months.

I'm being drawn back to it and wanting to look at completing my Covenanter army and moving onto doing an army for Montrose as well.

I turned down a really good deal on a half dozen WG Scots box sets because I didn't want to invest the time in another ECW army...

The Covenanters are a great force to collect as you can morph them to fight all of the other participants in the ‘ECW’:

- Bishops Wars English
- Northern Royalists
- all the other Royalists!
- Montrose
- Irish Confederates
- New Model / Commonwealth

All of these provide some interesting campaigning and different challenges for both sides.

Then, as said above, you’ll have such an interesting collection of 17th century stuff you be made not to move on to the TYW  :D :D
