I know I said I was not going to add anything to my "Two Armies in a Box" project , but one of the scenarios in the rulebook needs a marker to bring on reinforcements to a beleaguered force. Now you can just use a counter to track the messengers progress , But I'm not having that ! , so I found a couple of spare cavalry figures in my bits box . I cut off the Union figures sword so it looks like he's waving a dispatch paper and the Confederate - I thought a Trumpeter figure would be apt.
Nice idea Tony, they look perfect - I see you're on target to do the 1000 miles again; well done.
ReplyDeleteYes I've got to over 700 miles earlier than usual, perhaps not being a very hot summer has encouraged longer walks for me and the dog.
DeleteAn admirable addition: they certainly extend the possibilities for other uses.
ReplyDeleteYes the look better than plain counters.
DeleteGreat idea and very well executed, they look far better than a counter will look on the table.
ReplyDeleteLuckily I had a couple of figures spare , if you're going to do something do it proper.
DeleteSimple and very effective Tony…
ReplyDeleteAlso more characterful than a counter…
All the best. Aly
Yes they look better and it's only two figures added to the box.
DeleteAn excellent solution to your problem Tony and much better than a counter! Very well done!
ReplyDeleteYes I couldn't just use a counter coud I ?!
