A few more SYW Austrians (this month's work)

Last month's efforts: SYW Austrians. Two line & a Grenadier battalion, two Grenzer units, a few ADCs & a general.



Banal Croats in red & blue.



Sainkt-Georger Croats in white & green

Keep the Grenzer next to the grenadiers and nobody will suspect that they are 15/18mm interlopers.

A good month's work

Except for the two hussars to do, that's me finished with the SYW.

Until/if someone releases sets of SYW cavalry, I have enough figures painted & converted for , I hope, a half dozen battles over the course of the year.

So no more inflicting poorly painted figures on you lot!

These aren't poorly painted! Very nice stuff.

You're too kind.

I've got a SYW question - of sorts - for you.

I *may* have mentioned we've written our own rules for the period: 'A Glorious War'.
Nothing too special but we like them....even though I periodically tweak them.

I was thinking about a major revision in terms of command & control. In essence, I'm thinking about stealing Dave Brown's H&M mechanism of activated/non activated & ADCs & a menu of bonus actions & grafting it on. We use his Napoleonic & ACW rules & very much like this feature. It would not be hard to come up with a SYW-specific menu of actions & the ramifications on the existing morale & C&C rules could be managed.

So....is it moral to do this? I don't ask about legal because there is no way AGW will be used by any one else but we 6 so there's no money changing hands. However, I'm rather cursed by a desire to 'do the right thing' even if no-one is watching.

I think "every" rules writer in history has borrowed mechanisms from other rules if they find them handy. The 'BKC' series for example use mechanisms based on Warmaster'. I don't see why it should be a problem, particularly as you're explicitly acknowledging the source.

Or even ask DB himself. I think he's occasionally over on TWW.
