This is GREAT! Now i just have to see if I can get a copy locally. Are you going to post here when you make the QRS available at your site? Thanks, John ... ...
Hi John, I will keep you all updated. There will be a few 'Crusader' posts on my blog after the publication of AS. Once I've finished the 54 Arab heavy cavalry...
Looking forward to more Crusades photos, as well as the Operation Crusader project! I have a ton of stuff (literally, its 25mm) for the desert campaign - but...
Brent - You might consider doing what I do. You can get a sheet in a light tan color and put books under it for elevation. Later you can aid detail: an...
Hi I am in the process of setting up my first game of Field of Battle. I downloaded the force generator excel file and found it easy to use and very well done....
Brent The desert is a great thestre to paint. Painting asnd shading sand coloured vehicles and figures is enjoyable and the results look sovehicles and figures...
James And no doubt we will be debating how to base up vehicles and figures for the rest of the 2009. Are you still thinking of Jacob cream cracker base sizes...
... for Tanks. Oh come on, chaps. You can't tease us like that without telling the whole story. I take it you'll be wanting the smaller size water biscuits...
Hi Chris The story goes back many years to a time before piquet when we used to play Volley and Bayonet. These rules use 3" square bases and we used to call...
Weren't volley and bayonet rules designed around the square beer mat - I seem to recall a lot of 'units' sabot based on those. Actually, Mark, I've been toying...
James The reason why troops did not bunch in WW2 is that make a good target. With FoB the artillery beaten zone should stop players grouping. Using bigger...
Love those big stands! Although, if you're doing multiple 15mm vehicles per stand, you could just as easily (expensively?) do 25mm..... You could always use...
Hi Anyone know if anyone selling PK Cartouche 2 yet in UK ? I note at least one US seller (OMM) so wondering if it has reached these shores yet ? Cheers Gary...
Dear Brent - I use 6" x 6" (452mm x 452mm) bases holding about 25 28mm figures. The bases are used as brigade bases for Volley & Bayonet and as regimental...
Hi Brent, I would prefer to do it in 28mm. Unfortunately the range of early desert war vehicles is too limited. No one makes Crusader MkIs plus several other...
6"x6"! Now THAT is a stand! My 3x3 stands for ancients pale in comparison. Do you use the 6x6 bases as transport for the figures or are they fixed to the...
James No matter how many L3s you put on a base they will still only fire using a D4. Do you think there is a market for pre cut crackers? I still think that 3...
Dear Brent - I go through my basing procedure step-by-step. Somebody might want to use the technique. It goes faster than it sounds. 1) get 1/4" Masonite...
Hmmm, 6"x6". Ya know that gets me thinking.... For FoB:WWII originally I was going to go with 15mm on the standard 3"x3" stands since I have a lot of Flames...
By the way, I latched on to the 6"x 6" size because I'm convinced that 600 yards is far closer than 300 yards for the frontage of a Napoleonic brigade, when...
Hi Mark, If I go down the big base route, my infantry bases would have a 'platoon' theme, I'd put three 'squad' groups of 6-7 figs on it. Think of the...
This thread is getting dangerous... Litko is now selling these Skirmish trays where individual stands of figs can get "slot" in to a larger base. I am thinking...
Milton - Let me give a clearer verbal picture, using a French Napoleonic unit as an example. I start by placing a foot officer on the right front of the...
James ... about ... pattern? ... the ... the ... I agree with this completely. I think for our demo game at York next year we should use my 28mm East African...
Hi Mark, ... I think that big bases only works in games where the terrain is very open, like North Africa. Bocage with 4" wide roads would look rubbish. ... ...
Hi Gary Try Caliver Books at www.caliverbooks.com Theyıve stocked PK stuff in the past. Iıd be interested to know, as I may pick up a copy too : ) Al ... ...
