How is it going? Progress.

I’m nearing the end of the first half of my rule writing projects. The Nine Years War in Ireland is nearly done. So is the Crusades Game. Coming up on the inside is my Flodden Game. Plucky outsider In The Days of The Cid is also rapidly making ground. All good and we should see the trial games here as we go. I'm repairing a Chinese House too.

Gonzalo and my Aztec game are still on the bench. It is a matter of finding time. When the games above are done there turn will come.

In the meantime I have been doing a bit of this and that. Let us have a look.

 

Bogs for Ireland or Northumbria and points north and west. A little bit more to do on the bigger ones. I can probably use them in other settings too. I got the irregular MDF bases from ERM. I need to locate a new supplier.  

 

Ptolemaic light cavalry above. These are Donnington Old Era. Modelled on the pic’ below.

 From the Montvert book I'd say. I think they are great.   

No one else does square shield Hellenistic cavalry. I have 4 more ordered.

Ptolemaic Nubians also from Donnington. 

I have based these as “Shock” infantry as per Civitates Bellantes. Hard hitting but note the lack of armour. In actuality they may have been light troops.

Generic Greek skirmishers next.  I think these are Gladiator but they could be Lancashire Games.

Old Glory provided these Spanish crossbow men. I very much wanted some of the fellows in long robes.

A world away in time,  some English and Irish for the Nine Years War. My play test game will be The Battle of the Ford of the Biscuits.

Useful everywhere, Dogs. 

Or are they Wolves? In either case they are sold by Irregular Miniatures. I need some more for my Plains People Village.

I quite enjoy finishing things off. There is a satisfaction in it.
