ECW Solo project.

I've been at it again-playing with myself in the garage!! Having painted all the 15mm figures I got from Santa (ie Wife/Daughter/Sister) I have fought another battle in what I hope will be a series of battles in and around the county/town/village of Brockwell.


These are the Xmas figures-48 cavalry,4 guns and 20 crew, and some command figures-all from Warrior Miniatures (he even threw in some "extras" in the form of a lovely little cart,2 "dubious" women and a preacher!-the figures were wrapped in Xmas paper too-what a guy!!)

This is the scenario and terrain map that I used for the battle.
I have given up (for the time being?) my Kallistra hex terrain,as a bad job-unless the table is as flat as a pancake(and mine isn't!) the bloody pieces don't fit snugly and the plastic fasteners keep "plinging" off all over the place!,so I have used a green mat that I bought from Aldi,for a couple of pence, chalked on the roads and river,and the result is as follows.........................

Doesn't look too bad,with a few bits of terrain  it will look even better................................


Rudimentary,but effective,I think,now for the armies........................................

Parliamentarians in the foreground,with the Royalists waiting for them in the background!
It was obvious,to me, from my last game that I needed lots more cavalry and guns,so thanks to the chap with the long white beard,I have all I need for some good games.
I will give a detailed report on the actual game later on in the week,or early next week.
