(Big Game) Ramillies the Set-Up [Pre-Game 1] Post #1

Fourteen foot of 28mm Malburian fun! (see below, French to the left and British/Dutch to the right):


To the top of the previous picture the armies face each other across tricky terrain (see below, a fordable but disrupting river viewed from the French bank):


The stern Malburian British Infantry (see below, these are facing toward the fortified town of Ramillies):


Ramillies itself was a scenic work of art (see below, scratch built terrain by the French C-in-C - who being retired has plenty of time on his hands):


More beautiful scratch built scenery (see below: again fortified and in French hands):


The impressive wing of French Cavalry, a very potent force of arms (see below: so impressive in 28mm):


after the Set-Up comes the battle's opening moves! Despite me painting troops for the French I end up playing a British Cavalry commander.

Thanks for the comments gentlemen
The rules are "under the Lilly Banner (Version 3) Trebian
I have to confess that is a weakness (not of the rules themselves) as there are a couple of people who know the rules quite well but some people are remembering "how things used to be in earlier versions"
And we don't have a "designated umpire" as such, although teh French C-in-C is as close as I think we can get

I would love to see the game run under a faster rule set
