Adding an additional three feet to one's silhouette does make one look more impressive especially when mounted on a horse. Pineapples and bananas? That would be fun to see on the Renaissance battlefield!Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-73867281824372907262015-09-11T05:45:47.453-07:002015-09-11T05:45:47.453-07:00Thank you, Paul!

I always admire a soldier who can cram that much plumage on his helmet and not feel at all self-conscious about it. Perhaps you could do the next base as a Carmen Miranda stand - instead of giant plumes, perhaps baskets of pineapples and bananas? :)Mad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-35180487980350404392015-09-10T18:01:45.051-07:002015-09-10T18:01:45.051-07:00Thank you, Mike!Thank you, Mike!Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-79108006768504164952015-09-10T17:48:29.679-07:002015-09-10T17:48:29.679-07:00Superb Gendarmes Jonathan!Superb Gendarmes Jonathan!Cyrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13186074313046292554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-73110084856995402932015-09-10T15:52:01.762-07:002015-09-10T15:52:01.762-07:00Soren, I would enjoy letting them loose onto the g...Soren, I would enjoy letting them loose onto the gaming table.

Our Impetvs began using the large 28s of Renegade (Punic Wars) and BTD (Reconquista). Fitting six would have been impossible using Renegade and a tight fit for BTD.<br /><br />Based on those figure sizes, we came to the (rational?) conclusion that five cavalry figures would represent CP, four cavalry figures for CM, and three figures for CL.<br /><br />Since Jake stuck with the five horse CP stand for his ITW project, I followed suit. <br /><br />Really, I'm not responsible...
