There's a force of Royalists in progress around here...
bare metal and base coated
dark under coat and first colors
I am planning on a force of 3-4 Horse and 5 Pike and Shotte to be in mostly reds and greens - hailing from Wales, so the general will have a fun multi-staged name.
My youngest son has had some time with the RISK pieces on the floor ...
RISK pieces form a battle formation
With the Cavalry in columns, infantry in mass and doing crew duty with the guns along with a few scouting parties to van and flank ... do you think he's been influenced by the SHAKO games at all?
In a uniform from the age of 13 to 30, learned much of 'military life' and after a decade of travel have settled down to start a family. Started with boardgames and RPG's in the 1970's and added tabletop miniatures in the 1990's. Now with a family of three boys, seeking to turn this sometime hobby into more of a lifestyle.
