This piece explores with lots of photos, the deployment of an infantry company. If you are interested in the challenges of creating the right look for your units on the table top you might enjoy it.

And for those of us here who are both wargamers and re-enactors would say… "Told you so!"… :-)

Playing around with these configurations has helped me develop several mechanisms in rule sets.

I would love to see the configuration when the pike are defending against mounted. In the formation shown the pikes are really doing nothing useful.

Its great to see the formations 1 to 1. It brings out how long marching columns are.

It may be interesting to do a couple of pics as the unit changes from say column to line. Its surprising how much space is needed.

Whatever it was an interesting set of pictures.

I have taken some time to photograph three companies one to one and side by side – that is pretty impressive to see.
I also set up a cavalry troop of 50 in two lines on 1:1.

I'll post those over the next week or so.
