At the present time I'm going to use 'A Gentleman's War' for my South American Imaginations . I needed some method of marking if a unit had acted , I use Victorian pennies for my 54mm figures but I thought I needed something more in keeping with the South American vibe . South American coins seemed quite expensive then I thought - stamps ! - got a whole envelope full for 99p from eBay ! . I've glued them to some MDF bases blue/green for Nuevo Rico and red/purple for the Republic.
Next I needed a marker for when a unit was disordered , with my 54mm I use postage stamps ! - so I had to think again . Then I remembered the old Neuvo Rican proverb - "Tao desorganizado quanto uma lhama '" (as disorganised as a llama) , I got these from Foundry , so when a unit becomes disorganised due to terrain or morale it gets one of these put beside it to remind me . I think I'm about ready to play a game now , so hope to post this soon .
Great ideas, particularly the llamas for disorganisation!
ReplyDeleteYes I didn't realise that anybody did them in 28mm
DeleteA very clever themed idea.
