My latest blog is actually a 'guest article' from a fellow wargamer. It shows how to make casualties from standard victrix figures. The topic came up as Chris wanted to make 'Square' markers for Black powder. Rather than changing the formation of his battalions on the table, he intends to 'swap them out' for pre made Squares when necessary. More details here: link I hope that you find the ideas useful. |

Very interesting. I shall give that a go. |

Clever. I may also give it a go. You cannot have enough markers. |

Great job there! I always use casualty figs in all my games! They make it so much "realer" & you can see where the fighting took place. It let's you follow the action, sort of… |

I made some for my Zulu Wars Brits from Warlord plastics.

Some more great ideas! the casualty counter looks great and I like the idea of a casualty wagon – a great piece for a scenario! |

At least in the Napoleonic Wars there was the chance that the enemy would respect your status as injured and "hors de combat". Zulu Wars…different……and I mean on both sides. How many prisoners did the Garrison of Rourke's Drift take from the many wounded Zulus the next morning? OK, I accept that the attackers did carry off those that they could but…….. Arcane Steve, great thread. Very useful. Realism cries out for dead humans and horses. But wounded of both is more challenging to model, whilst actually more realistic statistically….at early stages anyway. I was inspired by this topic! |

Saw them down the centre line and you'd have two casualty markers! |
