Base ID

Typically, any army I build will see an initial completion rate sufficient to game with, in a fairly short time. Then, over even years, I'll add a unit or two, re-base a unit or two, add or subtract figures, thus requiring a re-basing. Etc. My methods for basing are of 3-4 quite distinctive types - ...

Re: Dunoon - ECW game

Thanks, David.

BTW flags for this conflict are difficult to locate.

Free stuff on the internet that you can download & re-size is limited & bought stuff is the wrong scale (my stuff is 20mm).

You don't know anyone making flags, do you? ;)

Re: The Battle of 'Wanneminden' 1759

Essentially perfect.

OK, the cognoscenti want to know:
what's the wooden arrow for?
the game cloth? Commercial or have you created it/
buildings? I recognise some resin ones & I think there's some laser-cut ones but some are scratch-built?
