Some of the figures I'...Archduke Piccolo (Ion),<br /><br />Some of the figures I've done so far did not need much renovation, but this latest batch had been finished with a water-based matt varnish, which had gone white in patches over the years. They were - therefore - almost completely repainted.<br /><br />I'm hoping to end up with a really simple, 'old school' set of rules, which are sort of based on RF&IC and PW. They will have no pretensions to being 'realistic', but I hope that they will be fun to use. Units will be as follows:<br />* Infantry: 4 to 6 figures, of which one can be armed with an LMG/HMG/Mortar, the rest being armed with a mixture of rifles and SMGs<br />* Cavalry: 3 to 4 figures, armed with a mixture of rifles and SMGs<br />* Artillery: 1 gun and 2 crew figures<br />*AFVs: 1 AFV, with a varying number of SPs depending upon the type of vehicle/armour<br /><br />Infantry weapon ranges will be 2 or 3 hexes for mortars (depending upon size), 2 hexes for rifles and LMGs/HMGs and 1 hex for SMGs. The combat systems will use D6s, with a different number thrown for each weapons type (e.g. HMG = 3D6, LMG = 2D6).<br /><br />I look forward to sharing my ideas with you, and I am looking forward to seeing how your revolution campaign turns out.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-75850421001293629112019-10-26T22:24:30.007+01:002019-10-26T22:24:30.007+01:00I'm not surprised you're pleased with thes...I'm not surprised you're pleased with these figures' turnout, Bob. Very nice indeed.<br /><br />Over the last couple of days I've been having another look at my blog entries of a couple of years back, and my TO&E plus battle reports (Apresski and Uranus). I've been looking at your comments and all. <br /><br />Since that time I have been off-and-on revisiting my TO&E for Army level action - never quite managing to make the thing 'work'. It is a topic that I'll be returning to after I have completed the 'Vive La Revolution' campaign narrative. I hope to be making progress on it in the next couple of days.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />IonArchduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-61360392227771333742019-10-26T14:01:37.089+01:002019-10-26T14:01:37.089+01:00Kev Roberston (Kev),

I'm very pleased with the way this batch of figures turned out.<br /><br />I am hoping that I'll only have to rebase most of the figures that I've acquired from Eric Knowles' collection, although I might have to touch up the odd bit of damage they might have suffered over the years.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-88764092784793384472019-10-26T13:42:28.803+01:002019-10-26T13:42:28.803+01:00Hi Bob- The 20mm Germans look excellent- you have ...Hi Bob- The 20mm Germans look excellent- you have done a great job of them. Will you be doing the same for some of the Eric Knowles 20mm which you've acquired? Cheers. KEV.KEV. Robertson.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03057624752614080866noreply@blogger.com
