Whilst looking at another blog I found that Del Prado did a couple of suitable mounted figures that would do for my 54mm ECW collection . On the left 'Prince Rupert' and the right 'Gustav Adolphus' they are a bit chunkier than the plastic figures (probably 1/32nd scale rather than 1/35th ?) but being pre-painted and quite cheap I can live with that . They will need a bit of tarting up and a gloss varnish before gracing the tabletop .
Speaking of the tabletop people may be awaiting the promised ECW clash , I had to take the game down whist repairing my table , then I was away on holiday and when I came back I found this awaiting me , I had pre-ordered it and rather forgotten when it was due . I'm a great fan of Command & Colors and admire how they can use the same basic system with a few extra rules and tweaks to produce a totally different game play . I've always been interested in Samurai warfare ever since seeing my first Kurosawa film and having played a couple of the scenarios it looks a very promising game , the ECW will appear shortly .........
Great finds. I used those 2 in my ECW project but had to repair the sword on Gustavus. Try eBay France for useful figures by Mokarex which were given away free with coffee. Soldiers, courtly ladies and civilians.
