Twelve warbands of indians (some 120 figures) racing down the valley against 30 regulars and 40 civilians (including women and children) with a relief force sailing up the river in boats. The terrain had two steep wooded valley sides with a fort close to the river and homesteads scattered across the valley floor. we found the whole thing great fun and added twists with each play 9adding in some French regulars to support the Indian or local militia for the English - we even had Indians in canoes!).<BR/><BR/>the trick we found was play testing it several times before the demo to make sure it worked and was not too unblanced.<BR/><BR/>I imagine your Croat terror game being similar.marinergrimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01393687295535460527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15312232.post-1170118115926793492007-01-30T11:48:00.000+11:002007-01-30T11:48:00.000+11:00Hi Murdock, I'm still building the forces!

I'm test-painting a pair of Hungarians up as Regiment Haller.<BR/><BR/>I need to buy about 35 Grenze and another 40 Bavarians.<BR/><BR/>The cavalry are just a twinkle in my eye right now.<BR/><BR/>I agree this might make a better campaign as it stands at the moment, but I do like the idea of putting it on as a demo game - I'll call it "The Defence of Strudelberg!" or something!<BR/><BR/>I think this might be my main project for 2007.<BR/><BR/>All the best,<BR/><BR/>GregBloggeratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15501347647235993401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15312232.post-1170110324573747492007-01-30T09:38:00.000+11:002007-01-30T09:38:00.000+11:00Most interesting blogging.I'd like to see more pic...Most interesting blogging.<BR/><BR/>I'd like to see more pics of your battalions on the table...possibly in a follow-up from this Croat Terror battle?<BR/><BR/>The only concern I would have for your planned 'long running' battle along the banks of the river is the speed of most infantry cannot match that of the cavalry. Wheras the artillery is what is generally needed to 'batter-down' hardened town locales.<BR/><BR/>Your overall concept I think would be better organized as a 'campaign' to be faught over a number of 'imaginary' weeks. With each defensive stand, chosen by the Bavarians (probably based on the 'value' of the locations) becoming the basis for a tabletop engagement.<BR/><BR/>This way the Croat forces would be able to either 'blitz' trying to rush past with their superior cavalry...or surge forwards in a unified formation.<BR/><BR/>Cheers<BR/><BR/>check out my blog at:<BR/>http://murdocksmarauders.blogspot.com/MurdocKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08693711825249632305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15312232.post-1170106364526016252007-01-30T08:32:00.000+11:002007-01-30T08:32:00.000+11:00Sounds VERY fun!!!
