Thanks for sharing the eye candy for my ECW fix.

Fantastic stuff, and beautifully painted. Funny how you can't tell the heft from the pictures. Still, just knowing there's plastic involved means it doesn't count as proper wargaming 😉

I certainly don't want to be one of those enablers who try to talk people into embarking on new project after new project. However, I can put in a word for the ECW (or TYW). I cover 2 Horse & Musket periods - SYW & Naps. It was 3 with the ACW
but I sold all of them. If I was sensible, I'd liquidate one of the remaining two. I love both periods but they really cover the same ground.

The ECW, on the other hand, is markedly different in appearance, in outlook and in fighting techniques. I've got a game on Saturday, using our new 'Victory Without Quarter' rules. My English Royalists are going to be facing up to my pal's army of Montrose. Yes, I know but Scot versus Sassenach just seems to always work despite what history says.

I think it's fair to say they would have fallen out eventually, even if it meant waiting for organised football - sorry, fitba' - to be invented.

You've got it all wrong I'm afraid, you chuck a javelin and putt the shot :fp:

Sorry, what has Spanner got to do with all this, and who chucked him all the way from Oz to Essex.....?
