Source of Inspiration:
Recently caught the last hour of Mel Gibson's "The Patriot" on television and was impressed with the look of the 'brown coated' militia and the blue-coated American militia in the battle scenes. That "twitchy painty" feeling started tingling in my bones. What to do? What to do? Wait and see if it passes? I can at least gather my thoughts ... and ask for advice from fellow bloggers.

28mm Figure Ranges:
Perry's AWI Hard Plastics
Reference Material:
Mark Urban's: Fusilier (reading at present)
References for other introductory books appreciated?
Wargames Factory have recently released plastic 28mm British and American Regulars and Militia. I've not seen them, but the general consensus with WF is their figures are improving with each release, so they may be useful
ReplyDeleteDon't do it! That way madness lies! Oh, of course there is the new Black Powder supplement too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Renko, for even more temptation, as if the Perry's were not enough ;)
ReplyDeleteLegatus, I sense reverse psychology at play here :)
Those Victrix Romans look good, almost too irresistible
Renko is egging me on here too, between WWII Chain of Command and Renaissance Impetus games that is, he's dropping hints that the Victrix Romans would make a perfect Impetus Ancients Starter Army
Xmas is coming ;)
I would recommend Page Smith's two volume history. It is not merely an introduction, but it's the best as far as I am concerned.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with this project.
