Help! ECW siege wargame from some years ago
« on: February 05, 2023, 06:47:02 PM »
On a wargames club site (which may have been something like GW3 GWP3?) many, MANY years someone described how they built a fortified manor house. It was mainly scratch-built with a few Battlements resin pieces incorporated. The construction was over several episodes.  It was followed by a multi-part thread outlining the subsequent siege wargame, ending in the storming of the stronghold. Thrilling.

It was utterly inspiring AND I CAN'T FIND IT!

So does anyone remember it? And if you do can you recall where it was? I am guessing we are looking at around 15 years ago. It could be plus or minus 3 on that. My memory is getting elastic.

Any help at all appreciated,

UPDATE: On a GWP3 site I have just seen someone was looking for this in 2010 so 15 yrs may be conservative..

Sorry - got a bit excited. The building tutorial does not seem to be available.

There is a link to how it was built but it is defunct by looks of it.

The Paul E is the talented Paul Eaglestone of Empress Miniatures fame. Clearly a very busy man but you could ask if he is in the position to repost the articles. He is Paul @ Empress Miniatures on this very forum.

Nice comments. I didn't expect that  lol lol lol  Many thanks anyway.

There is also a how to guide somewhere. I am pretty sure it was on LAF in one of its previous server reincarnations. It was also on Gentleman's Wargames Parlour which may still exist.  I suspect I do have the original pictures which I managed to grab from Picture Hub before they got very greedy and held everyone's pictures to ransom.

So glad that you chaps enjoyed it. Cheers, Paul.

After being inspired a dozen years ago I have finally got around to recreating my own version!

 A friend is making the fortified manor, and I am assembling some character figures. I already have a few hundred rank and file, and artillery. Those mortars will have a raison d'etre at last. And I have assembled  70-80 gabions.

And this is DIRECTLY a result of those threads. lol

A great tabletop! I’m also eager to see the inspiration it has lead to!
