Besides the buildings, I thought the trees added a good toy soldier field to the game.<br /><br />I used the rules for Gettysburg. The movements was changed from inches to squares. As for modifiers for the village, I used the "saving throws" for the Devil's Den. That's about the main changes to the rules.<br /><br />As for more engagements between Brookshire and Shiak, I'm sure there will be other battles.jhnptrqnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011208263053721255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135416429133257747.post-53511653157138454592014-03-06T04:25:02.493-08:002014-03-06T04:25:02.493-08:00A splendid toy soldier battle in the tradition of ...A splendid toy soldier battle in the tradition of RLS and HGW! Your troops and buildings look very appealing and inspire me to create something similar.<br />May I enquire which of the many Junior General rules you adapted, and how?<br />I hope there will be more engagements between the armies of Brookshire and Shiak!arthur1815https://www.blogger.com/profile/12333670394529977263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135416429133257747.post-1299241668261190932014-03-04T11:30:37.946-08:002014-03-04T11:30:37.946-08:00It certainly was a close run thing!

I didn't even realize how deadly the Shiak artillery was until pointed out to me! As a kid I dreamed of making my own toy soldiers and using them; it is indeed a great feeling to use homemade soldiers.<br /><br />If you are looking for some Airfix Guards I might have some to spare. I would have to see how many are left of what I have.jhnptrqnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011208263053721255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135416429133257747.post-82839801331641319842014-03-04T07:26:58.115-08:002014-03-04T07:26:58.115-08:00Oh, the horror !

Feels good to field one's own figures doesn't it?<br /><br /> I suddenly found myself wondering if it would be possible to find some old airfix guards to add to my 1/72 acw troops. Apparently they are collector items now and the price had gone up somewhat. Oh well.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135416429133257747.post-34712296106696865072014-03-04T02:01:33.472-08:002014-03-04T02:01:33.472-08:00Unfortunately, none of my brothers war-game, altho...Unfortunately, none of my brothers war-game, although in the past I managed to get two of them to play some war-games. The war-games we fought as children involved throwing popcorn at the enemy or using dart guns. As for the names, I was originally was going to steal names from R.L.Stevenson's war-game ( I did use Piffle) but as the soldiers were homemade, I wanted the game to be a little more original Thank you for your kind comments.. jhnptrqnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011208263053721255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135416429133257747.post-55879938189761207692014-03-03T21:55:15.498-08:002014-03-03T21:55:15.498-08:00Great looking game with a feel of a miniature vers...Great looking game with a feel of a miniature version of Little Wars.
