I also liked the little disorder markers behind the units painted the same colour as your bases. I'll use that idea myself. <br /><br />Also, it's really good to see a report of a Maurice game. We enjoy our games up here in Perth, and it's great to see a good report. I read Paul's report too, and was glad to see I'm not the only one to get caught with "That's not on the map".

However for what we are doing I think it is the right look.<br /><br />I considered texturing the bases, but again decided that plain looks best. It is possibly more time consuming as:<br />- Figures with badly cast bases have to be rejected.<br />- The base edges have to be cleaned/filed square.<br />- No excess glue on the base tops.<br />- It takes 3 or 4 coats of paint to get an even coverage.<br /><br />I started putting the standards (and NCOs) in the rear ranks as I use small units, and I wanted to get a good proportion of muskets in the front (the command are individiually based).<br /><br />SteveSteveMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09750604219474369883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7949706697278532115.post-36924614793336565802015-04-04T02:26:20.666+01:002015-04-04T02:26:20.666+01:00Fantastic once again, Steve !

Must try flags in the rear rank that way, it looks quite good. <br /><br />Pity about those craven grenadiers though, eh ? ;-)<br /><br />Steve Corporal_Trimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00376387688651637091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7949706697278532115.post-89337064696772101772015-04-03T16:19:06.997+01:002015-04-03T16:19:06.997+01:00Lovely game and figures!
