I don't always post battle reports right away, and the arrows help me remember how the battle went. Most of the photos I've been taking the last few months are with my wife's camera. I am finally getting the hang of using the flash with the figures.jhnptrqnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011208263053721255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135416429133257747.post-28597450319422998282016-08-09T14:28:15.670-07:002016-08-09T14:28:15.670-07:00John, I love the write up and particularly your us...John, I love the write up and particularly your use of those arrow markers.

The main reason I came up with this set of rules is so I can try to use more of the Peter Laing figures that I haven't been able to use. Although for this game I used the figures in set units, such as archer units, spear units and cavalry, I want to be able to mix the figures so different units have different capabilities. The armies are small enough that I could paint one in short order. When gaming solo, the hard part is getting the right balance so either side can win. jhnptrqnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011208263053721255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135416429133257747.post-5305524846869965652016-07-17T06:30:59.862-07:002016-07-17T06:30:59.862-07:00Chris, when I want to go for a "toy soldier&q...Chris, when I want to go for a "toy soldier" feel, a chess board is a good way to go. I imagine a tiled floor in a Victorian home. I was going to use this board with my Peter Laing Victorian Parade figures. These rules are for when I'm stuck on projects and and still want to get a game in.jhnptrqnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011208263053721255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135416429133257747.post-24700391360170549962016-07-17T01:37:59.873-07:002016-07-17T01:37:59.873-07:00A very interesting battle report and set of rules....A very interesting battle report and set of rules.

I get stuck when thinking about rules and making them simple but elegant, Hmmmmmmm need to get my thinking cap on.
