"South Poelnburg Enters the War" Topic

Readers of my blog and this message board may remember that last year I started a project to recreate in 10mm the 40mm Imagi-Nation forces of my North Polenburg country. See TMP link for more on that. The goal had been to create armies suitable for using with the "Look, Sarge, No Charts" family of rules.

I decided that I would start mirroring my North Polenburg armies with the creation of her counterpart, South Polenburg's, forces. The logic being that South Polenburg could act as both an ally to her northern sister, or as a break-away enemy, depending on the needs of the game.

This week I completed the South Polenburg 1st Brigade. When considering the theme I was going to use for this army, the obvious idea that hit me was to go with a South Pole motif; so the Infantry uniforms are penguin based, as are the unit and officer names. The artillery uniform resembles the color of sea elephants or walruses. For the South Polenburg flags, I decided to use the negative image of the North Polenburg flag's star motif.

Very nice!

Thanks!

Excellent!

Outstanding painting! I'm about to start on a 10mm Prussian army myself.

My friend and I are looking to do some modifications to the Fate of Battle rules for the SYW. Are your rules (NQSYW) modifications of the original LSNC? Is it possible to see your rules?

regards, Bill

Bill-
Thank you for the kind words regarding my painting. (Thank you too, Abdul!). Good luck with your Prussian efforts.

NQSYW (Not Quite the Seven Years War) is not a set of rules, but simply what Rob Dean and I called our original 40mm Imagi-Nation project. I have just borrowed the name for this project as well.

Our plan is to use FoB too, and just strip away all the formation rules, and mount units (as you can see) on single 3" x1.5" stands instead of the pair of 1.5" square ones that FoB uses per unit. So there are really no rules written to see. We haven't even fought a battle yet! :) Movement and firing ranges and rules we intend to leave as they are.

Okay, thanks for the response. I was thinking of the a similar thing for maneuvering. I was going to leave the two bases, but only allow movement in column with no fighting, fighting would only be done while in line. There would be no changing formation and moving either.

Sounds good! I don't think it matters whether the units are based on the pair of half bases or a single full sized one.
