Gentlemen,
The Battle of Neu Sittangbad is about to begin in the next few days! It will feature LARGE units of painted 25-30mm plastic and metal figures, painted over five and a half years, fighting over scratch-built, and some improvised, scenery on a 6'x10' table painted in a pleasant light green.
The game will be a solo affair, using the Basic rules presented by Young and Lawford in Charge!, along with a few Featherstone-inspired bits to introduce random events.
I am in the midst of tacking my figures down to multiple bases, though, to speed play along a bit, a necessary compromise, but I console myself by remembering that it was those photographs of colorful Napoleonics, on multiple bases of three, six, and eight figures apiece, from Peter Gilder's Wargames Holiday Centre, that inspired me in the first place thirty years ago.
In the meantime, please visit the Grand Duchy of Stollen blog for a bit of fictitious background before the big game and another inspiring guestpost on figure painting. Go to:
