I have been toying with the idea of a shieldwall formation. Basically, a group of infantry models declares they are moving into shieldwall formation during...
Your formation is too deep, you have a pike block. You should have a shield wall of a single rank and optional a second rank which could also strike. I would...
... Why do you think it too deep? Many Dark Age troops habitually formed up 4 or more ranks deep. 4 ranks is very shallow for a Pike block - 16 is normal....
How about allowing the front rank to use the 'Shielding' rule. The back rank to use the 'spear attack' from behind the shielding rank. That way you are not...

I am keen on the idea, and was only thinking today that a Bushranger supplement would be great... but seeing as you can get bushranger figures or policemen, i...
I do remember Nic Robson and Mike Broadbent of Eureka Miniatures in Melbourne showing off some Kelly Gang figures (ie in armour) and some troopers. They may...
I've had it my mind to do the same, so your attempts would save me all the work! I saw in the Showdown(?) suppliment that it wiped off Australian Colonial as...
Hello Greg, Thanks for the interest. Yes, of course this country's colonial history shared some broad parallels with the American experience, but it also had a...
