Game Preparation

So after finishing Simon's figures it was time to get a game in to help get the creative juices going for the last push on my Marston Moor project. So off to the club I went with figures and terrain to prepare the layout for Thursday. 




The game will revolve around a Royalist force holding the highground beyond the stream against a slightly larger Parlaimentarian force. Mitch will also be bringing along his figures to round out 2 of the Parlaimentarian commands. This will give each side 7 commands.

Both sides will be equal in horse regiments (my dragoons are standing in as Raw horse regiments). Parliament will have a superiority in both artillery and infantry. Just hope enough players turn up for the game to flow. This set up actually inspired me to complete a Covenanter infantry regiment, just need to get the basing done. As well as making a start on another regiment.
