"Battle of Palikao 21 Sept 1860 with "Taiping Era"" Topic

Finally finished painting enough French to let me do this one. It's the big set piece from the Arrow War, or, as some call it the 2nd Opium War.:

Could have posted at least one picture here (will have to imagine it all looks great).

It does look pretty good:

Check out the Mahjong tiles used as play aids, a brilliant idea for a China-themed game in my book:

Trebian, I see your tabletop is marked with a grid pattern, so I assume your rules use area movement. I can only imagine how fast and painless that makes movement and measuring for fire. Do you mind if I ask, what are the move rates for fastest and slowest troop types? Another question: do your rules include a ground scale?

@FlyXwire: I can't seem to get pictures to work, so I normally rely on Tango01 picking up my posts. Thanks to MadGuru for posting the ones here.

@MadGuru: The whole system uses a squared grid. These are 6", but they can be any size as long as 4 of you base widths fit from side to side. Move rates are 1 square in Line, 2 in Open Order and 3 if cavalry. The game plays quickly, thanks to the squares. Small arms ranges are 3 squares, and artillery normally up to 6. Ground scale is 250 yards to a square, and one base is 100 – 150 men.

Go team!
