I will send JPEGs and BMPs of them to you ASAP.<br /><br />Grids can be very liberating, and I remember that Phil Barker once said to me - after taking part in a wargame that used one of my earlier attempts at producing a set of rules that used a gridded battlefield - that if he was designing DBA from scratch, he would have used a grid.<br /><br />25/28mm figures are nice, but they are getting very costly and take up so much space, both for storage and on the tabletop. That is one reason why I have stuck with 15mm, although I also stray into 20mm territory as well at times.<br /><br />More than one project on the go at the same time seems to be the norm for most wargamers. It does stop one from getting bored, but can lead to one having just too many things on the go at once!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-74223612953900762582009-09-06T23:42:04.548+01:002009-09-06T23:42:04.548+01:00Very nice "historical" background on the...Very nice "historical" background on the heraldry of your national symbol.<br /><br /><br />-- JeffBluebear Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07595975572873838050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-77586519444357165142009-09-06T22:20:00.921+01:002009-09-06T22:20:00.921+01:00Bob,

They will work great for my flags.<br /><br />I am starting to rewrite my "sort of Morchauser" medieval rules to use a square grid. It is amazing how many fiddly movement rules melt away when a grid is introduced. I am very encouraged.<br /><br />The thought of rebuilding my sold off 25mm army into two 15mm armies is daunting, but I just keep reminding myself it is for the best. Space, cost, etc.<br /><br />Like everyone else I have another project. It seems one is never enough. The second project is a redo of my 1700-ish rules using squares and rebuilding those forces in 15mm too.<br /><br />A word of advice to all your readers: think twice, and twice again, then go off for a while, and come back and think again, before selling off your collection of figures.<br /><br />Thanks again for all the good ideas, book and web site references.<br /><br />Ever forward.<br /><br />JimJim Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11549600020726569568noreply@blogger.com
