I persuaded my two wargaming colleagues 'A' and 'S' to provide me with dispositions and orders for my 'Red' and 'Blue' 54mm armies . 'S' would be 'Blue' and 'A' 'Red' , here is the 'Country' to use the term H.G.Wells employed . 'Blue' deploys nearest the camera it's limits marked by blue dice , 'Red' opposite side of table .
The table set up , each side has 4 units of Infantry , a Cavalry unit and a Gun and crew. It was to be a simple meeting engagement with the object simply to drive the enemy from the table and the game would last till the 6th Joker was drawn .
'Red' armies deployment , Princes Gertrude's Light Infantry and the Volunteers (Performing Arts Own) nearest the camera , The Lanarkshire Highlanders on the road , the Borsetshire's next with the Gun and crew and the Life Guards behind Rabbit Ridge .
The Commander of 'Red' Army General Crawley (creepy to his men) and his Aide .
The 'Blue' Army , the Westfalische-Rinderwurst Uhlan Regt. nearest the camera , the Leberkase Infantry Regt. in front of the carelessly left rule book , then the Gun and crew with the Nurnberger and Bergen-Wurst infantry furthest away withe the Bavarian Infantry Regt. Bratwurst behind them .
The 'Blue' Army CinC General Mouters and Aide . The coins are used to mark when a unit has moved and each side is dealt a hand of cards to help with motivating the units - let battle commence ......
Your trees and hills will work well with these figures.
ReplyDeleteWas going for the Toy Soldier look .
DeleteVery nice Tony - certainly 'Old School' - the Battle will be most enjoyable over your great terrain.
ReplyDeleteThanks - the game is going well .
DeleteA lovely Wellsian 'country' including the lead cows. The trees are very effective, too good to see those again. An achievement to get armies of your own casting and painting on the table.
ReplyDeleteMy 54mm has always suffered from a lack of terrain , but the trees work well with both my 40mm and my 54's
DeleteI see that a war correspondent from Salisbury* has crept into the middle of the action. Tell him to keep his head down. Looking forward to reading his report.
ReplyDelete*I think I spotted a 'Kipling' from Sarum Miniatures.
You did indeed - very sharp eyed , it's a brilliant character figure .
DeleteGreat looking game. They were ready for action quickly after casting.
ReplyDeleteYes wonder how they will fare in their first game ?
DeleteCracking!, right up my street.
ReplyDeletePleased to hear it !
DeleteThank you , your use of 54's is partly to blame :)
ReplyDeleteTony, lovely looking game, nice to see your growing collection take to the field of battle.

Thank you , I've had a lot of the figures for a while but never found a set of rules till now to get them onto the tabletop.
