Maybe I will make up molds of French Egyptian troops using the PL figures you sent me.

Y...Just finished the book last week and I loved it. You can see that it the military parts are based on Napoleon's campaign in Egypt - but LOTS of great ideas for a mini campaign - and the "fantasy" element doesn't get in the way of the battles at allIan Duryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11319294059932082470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135416429133257747.post-14110636203127211632013-09-29T19:04:47.203-07:002013-09-29T19:04:47.203-07:00Ian- Bob Condery's blog is one of my daily sto... Ian- Bob Condery's blog is one of my daily stops. I did see the posting about "The Thousand Names" and it does sound interesting. I might have to look for the book.<br /> As for using the Peter Laings for the Battle Masters game, I had ordered fantasy figures from Warrior Miniatures a couple of years ago to use with Battle Masters. I just have never got around to paint them so it was easier to use the Peter Laings, most that were already painted.<br />jhnptrqnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011208263053721255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135416429133257747.post-59003072738044486642013-09-29T13:19:20.781-07:002013-09-29T13:19:20.781-07:00John - I had never thought of using my Laings for ...John - I had never thought of using my Laings for anything other than "conventional" battles!<br />I don't know if you have been keeping up with Bob Cordery's blog - but in there he refers to a "19th century" fantasy book he is reading - which I bought myself on the strength of his review - "The Thousand Names". It is perfect for a "French in Egypt" fantasy style campaign - especially as you wouldn't need any fantasy figures - just characters for magicians...... (though I could be tempted to try my hand at a flying carpet or a djinn.....!) - anyway, have a look - could give you some ideas.<br />IanIan Duryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11319294059932082470noreply@blogger.com
