Ayton 2023 - 17th Century game ideas

[Buff Redux]

I've got everything I need except Pikeman's Lament so I'm up for 2 days of this.

[FreddBloggs]

As you know, I am definitely up for that. Have you got a time frame for troops in mind? I am very tempted by some of the figures available at the 1670-80 end of the pike and shot era, but they might be too late. As I understand it from our discussions, I know you don't want to go much earlier than 30 Years War. Any early thoughts on rules, just in case I need to buy a copy of "Pike and Shotte"?

Seconds this query.

I would hope its not too late Tim, I'm considering Tangier Garrison c1660s/70 probably using the Copplestone range

Swedish mercenary army just ordered from Caliver books.

The Copplestone/North Star 1672 range is gorgeous, glorious and a delight to paint, and I have 1 regiemnt already done in them, hence my hoping.

to put together something 17th Century-ish.

Great! I'll bring me Mexicans - which if I recall Tim wanted?

May just gets shipped to autumn again, so may 2023... should be ok....

Medetians for me (30YW era), plus Cossack buddies.

So we hope. It wasn’t like that last year.
