Thanks all :D

The running gear might need conversion to Pedrail rather than caterpillar track.

I have been trying to find a suitable description of the difference.

A pedrail kind of stomps along on a series of pneumatic feet





In all honesty, I thought about keeping the caterpillar tracks as my own period of influence for the game is up until the 1930s.

That said, the Quar pedrails do look quite similar to caterpillar tracks



So I’m actually thinking of swapping out the track units with this one, and simply redrawing the simple tread plates into more foot-like blocks:

I don't think you can tell much of a difference between the caterpillar tracks and the pedals. 
But if it's something that easy to do, then I would go for it.  because it's just THAT much more character.   :D

Steve, another gigantic board. You always raise the standard so high and made my decision to buy the quar positiv. So I also order these strange, but beautiful little fighters. Hope to make a game with you on this board. Do you use the rules in the starter or FFoL???

I’ve adapted an old set of skirmish rules - I’ve yet to test them as I need to finish my first Royalist unit and have been too busy with life this last few weeks.  But when I gave I hope to be able to share.

Looking forward, still have a copy of your old Postapo-Rules on the hard-disk

Thanks all

As I’m only having the one officer per side, and having bought the Crusader officer pack, the spare figure has been converted into a Royalist officer:



I’ve also assembled the first unit of 5 Royalist infantry. I’ve added a lot of extra pouches, sourced from all sorts of sprues.
