Good food and some fine wargaming "reads" made for a lovely afternoon. And how ideal was it to finish off the article with the amazing photo essay taken at the compound of Eric the Shed. You and your friends are very lucky to have such a wonderful private venue at which to play.<br />You might want to continue thinking about the plastic figures for your army but investigated the metal leader figures upon which you can lavish more painting time. Also, will you be looking to field two "armies" or just one? And how many extras do you plan to raise? Artillery? Dragoons? Wagons? A bridging train? These, of course, are wonderful things to ponder. <br />As an aside, it is wonderful to see that Londinium is still as prosperous as always. It took a while to get back on its feet after that unpleasantness with Boudicca but still. It looks like some real headway has been made by the merchants. Was the large colonnaded building in the first picture the temple to Mars Victrix?<br />Salve,<br />Gerardus MagnusCelticCurmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17687177512999052331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26773117.post-32652427997549069082016-05-11T18:20:05.391+01:002016-05-11T18:20:05.391+01:00Great Read Sir

I must say though that I fell in love with the Renegade figures when I first saw them, the best part of 13 years ago and still buy them. I don't think anything matches them for detail. In addition by mixing in the Bicorne figures, most of which are by the same sculpter, this gives a terrific choice of figs. I use Warlord for the Clubmen etc as they are just great character figures.<br /><br />I use Pike and Shotte too, just with a few house amendments to give it a little more of the ECW feel. <br /><br />Best wishes,<br />JasonJasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03440418250366404723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26773117.post-1884470181644495312016-05-11T00:53:00.598+01:002016-05-11T00:53:00.598+01:00You could collect a small ECW force for Pikemen...You could collect a small ECW force for Pikemen's Lament.
