One more WotR fighting unit musters out from the painting table. These 47 figures make up Beaumont's Battle. Figures are 28mm Perry Miniatures' plastics. This body of infantry represents the eleventh such Battle to march out from the painting desk. No banners yet but with luck, Pete's Flags will produce a set someday.
Of course, eleven such Battles is more than enough for a standard game, but I have the figures and now I have many options. There is a body of pikemen at the painting desk but those fellows keeping getting pushed back in the queue as WSS French regiments keep cutting in line. Four such French units are finished with a fifth in work. Oh, a second order to Ebor is off for reinforcements. On the gaming front, Vol joined me in a Saturday game to refight our earlier Battle of Salem Church. Having tasted a narrow Federal defeat in our first game, Vol wanted to try again to see if the result was different. Sounds similar to the definition of insanity. Anyway, Vol has a BatRep up on his blog. The outcome can be seen at 2nd Battle of Salem Church.  |

One more Salem Church iteration with Peter this week and then time to pack it all away and ponder what next.
A grand addition to the WotR collection, always good to have options. I will mosey on over to Vol’s blog to see how you faired this time around.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Phil! Yes, mosey over to Vol's blog and check out the action.
DeleteGrand looking figures for WotR.
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated!
DeleteWith your amazing numbers, you will be able to do 'anything' with your WotR forces and do it in some magnificence and style.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Norm! Perhaps anything but win a game!
DeleteGreat work Jon, your WotR collection is very impressive, super additions. I too will check out Vol's blog to see how the ACW game went.
ReplyDeleteI understand you perfectly, Jonathan! I’m in a similar situation. I’ve bought several Perry plastic kits, and they’re waiting to be painted. But those cunning Makhnovists for RCW keep getting ahead!😃 I want to create universal units that could take part in the early Italian Wars, the Burgundian Wars, the Wars of the Roses, the Swabian War, and other conflicts of the 15th century. Your work is amazing! I really like your base design style!
ReplyDeleteJonathan I'm surprised you have any hairs left on your brushes, the rate at which you paint!
ReplyDeleteI think people have suggested / twisted his arm to ask Pete for specific flags......

Wow Jon, you knocked this 47 figure battle out after our game? That many figures would take me a week!
ReplyDeleteI should have asked to use your photos for the BatRep, they are so much better than my phone pics.
