This is great to see. I often think that the hobby tends to ignore the reality, and the implications of the fact, that most armies fought in very linear formations during the black powder era. |

Those are so well done I had to double-check whether I was looking at miniatures or re-enactors. - Ix |

Currently considering how I can extend this experiment out to represent a full battalion 1:1. |

Great looking figures and when deployed in mass like this it truly is impressive. Some years back one of the gaming magazines had a 7YW battalion (25mm) deployed at 1:1 on the cover. It took up the whole length of the table.
I've tried over the years to come up with some 1:1 gaming, usually with little luck. |

I do 1:1 AWI in 2mm. It really works well, using BG. It lacks the pop of the lovely figures by jocknroll, but I can do Freeman's Farm on a 4x8 table, and IMHO it accurately models the tactical deployment and the LOOK of the actual battle.
But Jock's figures look SO cool. Color me torn. |
