This began because I decided I did not like the look of my ECW Pike & Shot regiments.
The 8 Covenanter & 7 English Royalist P&S regiments all conformed to the basing & figure ratio demanded by the rules.
4 bases of 3 musketeers flanking a 4 figure command stand & a 4 figure pike stand.
But it just didn't look ….right.

So I decided to acquire 60 odd Tumbling Dice pikemen in order to add a 4 figure base to every P&S regiment.
For the look of the thing.

This will be a project for the next number of months. |

Deep pikes are an expected look. And yet a lot of formations did not have pike deeper than musketeers. |

So how will the unit look in the end? Will there be a 4-fig base of pike at the rear? Or will all the pike be in the centre and the command figures be at the front, or the rear? |
