Great stuff mate. I have loads of the Redoubt stuff and i like them. Slighty larger than most but still good all the same and have loads of options. Good to see them painted up.

Splendid stuff Dave. :)

I have a fondness for the Redoubt FIW range. I bought all the packs when they were first released (never painted any of them though lol)

Great work on the regulars (not that the rest ain't bad either!)

I have most of their Indians in the same state of bare metal!

I've bought a copy of M&T - first game next week.

How best to designate "facing" with figures on circular bases? Easy enough with Regulars perhaps but Indians, Irregulars and those in more dynamic poses?

No idea! I'm not a fan of the rules, look hopelessly complex, a common fault of skirmish rules I've found over the years. We use Astounding Tales and now Sharp Practice, til I write my own that is.

Hopelessly complex? Most basic mechanics that are possible I think, way easier to follow than Sharpe Practice (which I like by they way).

Facing - not a massive issue, if playing with mates we just use the front of the figures facing to show the front. You just get a -1 if you have to turn outside of 180 degrees to fire. If playing with more rule lawyer types just make a mark either side so you have the 180 line running through the figure.

My apologies - wrong thread.

Thanks Rich
