"New Project time!" Topic

Gents

Have been inspired by Richard Holmes nook on Marlborough to consider a new project!

Not yet decided between 15 or 28 mm but given the good reviews porbably be looking to get a copy of under the lily banner rules.

Can I ask what size of force in number of battlions and squadrons gives a reasonable game as will influence the decision on scale of figures to be used. I should add have an 8 by 4 foot table.

cheers

I currently play Lily Banners, a nice force size to get started i would suggest 3 Brigades of foot or 12 – 15 battalions and a similar number of squadrons of horse. (I game in 15mm and the rules work just fine for the scale)

Ha! A kindred spirit!

For whatever reason I always get itchy to start a new project or period as the Winter comes on, and this year it's WSS / Marlburian in 28mm.

I have a copy of Lily Banners, but it seems more geared toward the earlier wars of Louis XIV, and not so much for WSS, which is my main interest.

We have played Lily Banners a couple of times (with our own house mods) and feel that 8-10 foot battalions, plus 6 squadrons of cavalry and a couple of guns a side give a good evening game.

I'll tempt you into 15mm by pointing out that we do army packs suitable for BLB here:
