FREEDOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM! |

Me, friday night. Does that count? |
| 45thdiv | 20 Mar 2014 11:29 a.m. PST |
Yes, Friday night counts. Scale and rules? I know the joker ^^^ up there will be using 28mm, unknown rules though. I will be doing the same as he. :-) Who else? Come on folks, you know to want to. |
| Balin Shortstuff | 20 Mar 2014 11:59 a.m. PST |
I am.  |

That's the spirit folks!!! Keep it rolling. There has to be more ECW players than 4 of us. |

Had a large 28mm game last weekend – three players each side – about 20 units per side plus artillery – a good time was had by one and all. |

I frequently play 15mm ECW games. Last weekend the Roundheads were badly handled by my opponents Royalists. Next weekend it will be different… |
| 45thdiv | 21 Mar 2014 3:17 a.m. PST |
What rules were you guys using? |
| Simon Jackson | 21 Mar 2014 4:46 a.m. PST |
Pike and shotte. Second time for us but we got a good game last time. I quite like the B Powder mechanics. If you get a good command role you're in the mixer straight away. Great for a cavalry charge on turn 1.

My Enligsh and Scottish 6mm armies still aren't finished. Trying to recreate the Battle of Dunbar. So… Does painting this weekend count? |
| 45thdiv | 21 Mar 2014 9:55 a.m. PST |
Yes, I will count painting. We are up to 7 people now. Who else? |

Doing some final play testing for the first Witchfinder General supplement this weekend. The Highlanders plan to ambush Lord Norfolk's coach and mounted escort party. The game is set just before the start of the first ECW and contains a fair bit of folklore – so I am not sure if this counts? |

I have some 2mm ECW needing painting this weekend so I'm in |
| The Wargames Room | 21 Mar 2014 1:36 p.m. PST |
We use DBR for our 15mm ECW gaming. Often these games have only one player per side, but increasingly we are playing multi-player games. |

This time next year I'm hoping to say 'yes' as it's the next project – being at the reading and researching stage really doesn't count, does it? |
| 45thdiv | 21 Mar 2014 6:13 p.m. PST |
@sjwalker38 Yes the planning and research stage counts. I still paint the odd unit now and then. Good luck to everyone with their games and painting this weekend. |
| Saurocet | 24 Mar 2014 6:13 a.m. PST |
OK, I made progress in painting my 6mm figures. How did the games turn out? |

Our game went well, thanks Saurocet.
Lord Norfolk survived the ambush. A couple of 'Hard-Men' in his escort party saved the day.

Victory for the Parliament this evening as the Royalists left wing collapsed under a series of counter charges by the horse of the Eastern Association. On to York… |

Well…."this weekend" is THIS weekend for me! I'm playing two intro Pike and Shotte games-28mm. One on Friday night. One on Sunday afternoon. The rules look pretty fun and definitely not a brain-drain game! Steve Miller

Sorry for not getting back and posting how my game went. It was pretty fun. I was winning. Then my cavalry folded on my left flank leaving a nice gap for some Scottish troops to slam into my strongest unit without any hope. It was sad. But I had a fun time and I think everyone else did as well. Our group is booking the fall for the return of ECW to the table and I am hoping to get some more cavalry painted up. @Stickler – I really like that coach. Steve Miller – I saw your post on your game, after action. It looks like we all had some good games. I am looking forward to the next one, even if I have to wait until fall. Matthew |
