My WWI Germans, since I need to make a post...

[Cessna]

Which rules will you be using?

They initially started out with the intent of using GW Great War/Over the Top. I'm increasingly moving in the direction of using Through the Mud and Blood.

I'll probably end up using both.

[Bugsda]

Excellent! Another vote for the mud 

[janner]

Cracking work - another vote to leave the bases as is 

[Plynkes]

Lovely.

I vote for a bit of grass here and there. 1918 Kaiser's Battle and onwards to the Armistice... Lots of fighting in open country. Slogging in the mud...? Not so much. 

[itchy]

great stuff , really impressive and through the mud and the blood rule (excuse the pun )

[worrywort]

Excellent work !

Mud is awesome, maybe some little bit of barbed wire ?

Did you try the Bolt action rules ?

[Cessna]

Did you try the Bolt action rules ?

No, I haven't - I thought they were WWII? Or are they easily adapted?

One other thing I didn't do, despite them being "Late War" German - no "tortoise camouflage" helmets. I don't know if I'll ever change this.

[Plynkes]

I wouldn't sweat it. I don't think it was anywhere near as common in the actual German army as it is in wargame armies.

[Greystreak]

They look great with the mud bases, Cessna! 

[Cessna]

I wouldn't sweat it. I don't think it was anywhere near as common in the actual German army as it is in wargame armies.

I agree. They also tie the army to "late 1918," while if I leave them as-is I can use them for 1917 or the Spring Offensives without getting nit-picky and grouchy...

If you're thinking of adapting a set of WW2 skirmish rules, I think you'd do better with Rules of Engagement.

Apparently yes.

Some people have made some games with BA for late WWI and it wa cool.

Mein gott das ist wunderbar! Would love to see close ups of the armour.

[Wirelizard]

Awesome figures! One of these days I will get sucked into the WW1 Western Front, but not (quite...) yet!

If you're looking for a set of "big skirmish" rules, I highly recommend "Through the Mud & the Blood" by TooFatLardies. Why kludge with a WW2 ruleset when you can get something "native" to the period?
