I have finished painting the first miniatures of the Cavenderian Diplomatic Corp. (CDC) and am preparing to mail them to my fellow imagi-nation rulers soon. Pictures are my blog link I will be painting up more diplomats to send out as the year goes on. The majority are Eureka 28mm minis. thanks for looking.

A very cool idea.

Which specific Eureka mini is the tea-drinker?

Prinz Geoffrey22 Dec 2008 10:22 a.m. PST

He is from the Ooh you are aweful, but I like you vignette.

however, Nic with Eureka is very cool and has mentioned listing the figure seperately, I am going to order a bunch more as there are many imagi-nations to send representatives too.

jpattern222 Dec 2008 10:45 a.m. PST

Thanks, I'll definitely add that vignette to my wants list.

YOU know, I saw a copy pf Lace Wars on markdown at my local shop. I may have to look into this period some more.

Critter1,

I don't have those particular rules (so I can't judge them), but the period (actually periods) is wonderful.

You can play the early "War of Spanish Succession) at the start of the 18th century; or the "Great Northern War" (which was going on at the same time), the "War of Austrian Succession" in the early part of the mid-18th century, the "Seven Years War" a few years later (and you don't have to play this in Europe -- North America and India were both active theatres), the American War of Independence about 3/4th of the way through the 18th century OR a number of smaller conflicts.

What do they all have in common? The tricorn . . . well, really cool uniforms and generally reasonably similar armies (at least in Europe) so that most engagements are not one-sided.

Go for it, sir. You won't be disappointed.

Critter1
and the Lace Wars are the niche par excellence of Imagi-Nations.

Not a few hardboiled 'historical' wargamers, coming from various eras, found the subgenre so attractive and refreshing that they created not a single one, but two Imagi-Nations (you need a pair of hereditary foes), each granted with its own blog:
