Like you say, any tape meaure will do as a measuring device. also, 16 figures looks ok, and saves a hell of a lot in miniatures required and painting time.<br />At a later date you can always expand to a 2 inch frontage with 32figures per unit if you wish.<br />The game was called before I assaulted the town, but I'm confident we would have taken it as the garrison was 'wavering' with 3 DISRUPTION markers.Trailapehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01056073765543722079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2517690696075361865.post-82057623482557472562012-10-04T15:28:11.778-07:002012-10-04T15:28:11.778-07:00Lovely looking game.

The Austrian garrison appears to have held and was a tough nut to crack, though I'm not sure they would have lasted long surrounded by Prussian grenadiers. Did your artillery have any national advantages? 1" squares seem a very practical basing convention for smaller scales, looking nice without huge numbers of infantry to paint and allowing any tape measure to become an instant measuring stick. Our group will be going this way as we start to build armies for Maurice. Nice photos and great report, thank you.cae5arnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2517690696075361865.post-59039190809615205632012-10-04T08:31:18.564-07:002012-10-04T08:31:18.564-07:00
