I particularly like the one of Gordon - but he seems rather small when compared to Wood and Wolseley! A different manufacturer, I presume? as I'm sure you would never commit the wargame heresy of mixing models in different scales...<br /><br />Though I do seem to remember once suggesting that wargame armies of 6mm or 10mm troops could be commanded by larger officer figures, whose size would represent both their importance in the chain of command and military skill. So Napoleon and Wellesley would be 54mm; Ney and Massena, 40mm; Davout, Hill, Picton and Craufurd, 30mm; Soult, Moore, Kutusov, Archduke Karl and Blucher, 28mm; Schwarzenberg and Uxbridge, 18-20mm, and the likes of Bernadotte, Erskine and Slade, only 15mm.<br /><br />I'm sure your COW game will be a great success. <br />Best wishes, Arthur Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10090662027113282885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-21047436031894327282018-07-04T10:51:16.193+01:002018-07-04T10:51:16.193+01:00I’ve never managed to get matrix games to work in ...I’ve never managed to get matrix games to work in a satisfactory manner.
