Hi all!

Well, I finished up the first unit in my son's Christmas gift collection… minus flags, I should say, but that will be rectified as soon as Rick can unpack from Historicon:) There are one or two small mistakes, but given that they are for a four year old, I'm not stressed over them:)

For some photos, please come by and take a peek! And later today I'll post a few more Armada shots.

Thanks!

The figures look very good!

Have you chosen a set of rules thta these will be used with yet?

Lord Ashram21 Jul 2015 8:00 a.m. PST

Hey guys!

Thanks for the kind words! No rules yet; he is only four:) I'll likely make some sort of SUPER simple set of rules… one die per guy, a 5 or 6 hits… that sort of thing. Nothing too complicated… although he already seems to have some handle on Star Wars Armada!:)

Very nice!

The One Hour Wargames rules are pretty simple – the Little Prince found them fine

If you want, I have a dead simple set of rules that I modified from der Alte Fritz' Teddy Bear rules – be happy to share

Gorgeous work. You have a very lucky little boy. If I were ever to do the AWI (a recurring temptation) I think 40mm would be the only way to go.

Thank you for sharing!

Any chance of adopting me!! Slightly older than 4 but still would love the minis!!!

Nice man cave you have there. I remember buying an electric football game "for my son" when he was four as well.
Been there…

Those redcoats look great!

Wow, this is a lot better than spraying one side red and the other blue. Very nice paint jobs!
