"Overhaulign my AWI collection" Topic

Finally got around to starting to re-base my AWI collection, bit of detail on the blog. Hopefully this will allow me to do both larger actions in Black Powder or similar and use the same figures for Sharp Practice.

Great looking collection.

Thank you. Will have a full overview when they are completed.

Very nice.

I, too, am in the process of overhauling and rebasing my AWI collection.

Very nice!

A most excellent collection and great advice on re basing your figures. Many thanks!

Very nice miniatures and Blog! Very glad to see you were able to post it yourself.
Keep up the great work!

Nice blog and nice painting.
Better to have you yourself present it here than…

Well, I get a page not available when I go to your blog.

There are some bogus characters in Roger's initial link posting. Try link

A most excellent blog and I am happy to follow it.

Please! Include who's blog it is to give THEM credit for all their very hard work.

A very nice collection you have!

Well done in documenting the process. I reorganised and rebased my AWI armies about 7 years ago and the effort was definitely worth it.

I hope you have many more games with them.

I particularly like the round stands for skirmishers. Nice touch.

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys, just to be clear this is definately both my blog and my work on the figures. Should I assume that the comments are not really aimed at me?

No. Definitely not at you. Good work.

Roger you do excellent work and you have a collection to be very proud of.

Thanks very much chaps. Will share when the basing is completed.

Looking forward to it! I am thinking about some additional re basing myself inspired by your work. Many thanks for posting!

Also looking forward to seeing how your collection looks once you've completed rebasing.

Thanks guys watch this space.

I am a little stumped Roger. In linear warfare base depth is almost always too great. Except when the figures are marching in column this seldom impacts the game. To me the critical variable in linear warfare rules is the per figure frontage. Your figures seem to be holding a constant 17mm per figure front under the old and the new basing method. So is the problem that the rules aren't flexible enough to allow for six figure bases rather than four?

In short yes. Sharp Practice our go to for this period is units of 8 figures, bases of 6 simply dont work. Add this to my other chums all switching to this specific basing method and it makes sense to make the changes.

Thanks for the clarification.
