Going the full Featherstone !

Having got enough figures painted up for a game I set the table up . One of the problems when playing Old School is the number of individual figures to be moved . Don Featherstone suggests using cardboard templates with a few figures on them for the first few moves till they start shooting or being shot at .

I was thinking on this when I noticed one of my neighbours had a skip in his driveway (some building project I think ?) , Now I can never pass a skip without peering into it for anything useful , there is of course usually rubbish , however in this one I noticed a couple of pieces of wood that might be useful ! . My neighbour said I could have anything I wanted - so I took them home , cut them to size and painted them .

Here we have one in action , when they get near the enemy I will transfer the full unit to the tabletop.

And one being used for a unit of French Hussars . Having got this sorted the battle report will be appearing next .
