Ayton 2020 - Sunday 18th Century Game

[Paul]

I've revised it to 4 Brigades and sent you a detailed list, I'm always far too impetuous to take longer than six hours on a single battle

[Peeler]

Do you mean to say that you expect us to last 6 hours?

[Essex Boy]

Do you mean to say that you expect us to last 6 hours?

I don't expect you to last five minutes given how many troops you've said you'll be bringing.

[Peeler]

Bitch.

[Essex Boy]

And yet........still no list!

[Buff Orpington]

How imaginative are we going for force composition? I'm planning 1 British brigade and one Continental with some Hessians to make up the numbers. I have 2 guns to accompany each brigade. My only issue is cavalry. I'd be pushing it to paint 2 regiments in 3 months on top of all that infantry so will there be any problem if I hire some Russians?

Surely you could call them anything you wanted? just because they're painted in the uniforms of Russians doesn't mean you can't name them as a fictional Irish or Continental Regt.

[Essex Boy]

Hold up, I'm not falling for that one. No, you can't have a couple of T34s.

But you can have Russian 18thC cavalry in your army.

Personally, I see no problem with having British fighting British, for example, but I'll leave that conundrum to Dave I think.

Edit: and what Paul said.

[grizzlymc]

A couple of T34s might even the game up.

[Buff Orpington]

No. Andy's Indians will have panzerschrecks.
