So, with this 5-6 weeks away.. what to use?

I'm predicting Japs, Ottomans ,Swedes and few scrofulus Nomad types (with maybe 2 Ming) from my reconnaissance ...

what beats all this... ? should I paint up somehting else. I'm bored with the Spanish now.. given the dates later tercios are a bit drole.

My Reconnaissance says there'll be at least 2 Qing Chinese - same as Ming but with better cavalry and no need for Light Guns!!

My quandary is the same as yours.

The difference is that between now and Warfare you have the time and ability to paint a new army; I have the time and ability to paint a new unit!!!!

Don

what do you think ?... could I paint a Jap army in time?

seeing this site , from a link on TMP has got my juices flowing

I reckon you could, but I was hoping the giraffes would get an outing!

Trouble is with those boys is every game is like Custers last stand.... The mounted is poor or limited. It's the pirates or ikko ikki all over again

I know how you feel! Yes, here we go again with Simon making some of us feel totally inadequate

Don,

same as Ming but with better cavalry and no need for Light Guns!!

Am I missing something here, but this would mean no artillery at all, due to the date restriction.

How do you figure that? Artillery is permitted from 1628.

Thought the end date was 1628 not 1629 so in by one year

Don

making a start ... more on the blog

Funny you should bring that site up I spent a lot of yesterday looking at researching the Pirate king Murakami Takeyoshi, as considering Samaurai as my one FOG R 28mm army, so far managed to resist the temptation but am weakening

Despite Alasdair's misdirection (Japanese in 28mm ), I think you're right about the bacterial infections of the nomadic lymph nodes.

Personally, I admit to succumbing to the dark side, but as yet can't stomach the Scrofulus Tatars. Especially after their song and dance routine at "Derby".

Instead I've gone with Later Imperial Austrian as an almost respectable cheesey army.

Thats not what you said everytime I used it

my armies finally finished just need to flag it now

maverick have just finished making the flags so should get them in a couple of days

see you soon

cheers

My army isn't at all cheesy.

However it does have a definite whiff of bacon about it....

I know those Renaissance types were keen to use knowledge from the classical writers so I was a bit worried we were about to see flaming pigs once again

Hi ,

Unfortunately, I've had some bad news, and a close family member has been taken critically ill. Consequently I've had to cancel my attendance to Warfare.

So, if anyone didn't make their entry in time, please drop Tim a line ( there is a paid up entry that is available)

Also, all the 9 year war figures are all here, but I haven't had chance to upload any of it to the website. If you are desperate ( Christamas/Godentag) I can hand crank some orders out ... give me a bit of normality if nothing else!

Sorry for any inconvience caused.


thanks
Simon

Gutted for you Simon - was looking forward to seeing the Mapuche on the table, both from a figure perspective and as some release from unrelenting Cuirassier action for my Samurai!!

Hope all is OK

Don

The Mapuche have been put on the gallery on my blog if you are interested -



thanks
Simon
