As I was doing the dutiful family thing and taking mum in to her opticians, I thought I would check out W.H. Smith and picked up WI, with the 'Never Mind the Billhooks' rules, the first time I have bought a physical wargames mag in at least 5 years. I was almost tempted to buy up the other copy they had.

Packet of Spencer Smiths thumped on the carpet below the letter box this morning. Cheered up a Monday.

A bunch of barbarians from Fenris, a box of plastic Greek skellies from Footsore and a Richard 1 mounted and foot figure to fight for the Angevin interests in France (and score me a free Welsh Prince).
I get lockdown, but I get up again.

This last week, mostly just beer. I'll have to tone it down.

And now a gross of Warbases bases for Wars (of the Roses).
The great re-basing experiment will begin with the traditional sacrifice to EB.

For "Never Mind the Billhooks"? I'm sticking with 6 man 1p sabot bases, two of those is a unit, and just fudging the alignment thing. The regular regimental bases just look too neat for my liking.

Presumably you round the corners off before the sacrifice?
