I started work on my imaginary 18th Century valley around 2011, found a map and created units . The photos below show my notes from the time which gave a brief background to the units, uniform details and flag info. As I am coming towards the end of the Ottomans I felt that these figures might provide a fitting opponent. So they were looked out and repairs began. I am looking forward to seeing seeing them taking on the Turks...
Best wishes with your renewed interest in this project.
ReplyDeleteHow is your 16th 17rh century imagination project going?
DeleteI am hard at work with sorting out the tactical rules, at the same time as working on the fourth iteration of the map (the others being lost to a dead harddrive).
DeleteThe strategic layer of rules is nearly done; everything going into a Word document so that gaming friends and playtest the rules for themselves and/or use as they wish.
Once I get my spare room back, I will be working on the tabletops, terrain, and miniatures as the basement is far too cold and damp to work in.
BTW, I watched a series of YouTube videos and thought of your own project. I am providing the link, in case it might help inspire your imagination in some way.

Thanks for the video link I really enjoyed it.
DeleteNo worries. My passion for Imagi-Nations has grown exponentially in the past few years, to the point of being almost a missionary for the concept.
DeleteI'll be doing my own videos at some point, in the near future.
It’s given me a nostalgia rush seeing those old Minifigs Prussian grenadiers, Prussian jäger and Hungarian fusiliers. Even if at the time I found the jäger pose disappointing. David’s Ragged Soldier blog has the same effect.
ReplyDeleteCould a wee Minifigs project be on the cards for this year. Either from eBay or from the manufacturer they are easily available, easily painted up and loads of old school fun. You wouldn’t need to many as a start...
DeleteUmstrittental - what a great name for an imaginary battlefield!
ReplyDeleteYour miniatures look very nice. I like the colours you used. Blue, pink, magenta.
Thanks, they are shiny happy people, sorry toy soldiers.
DeleteNice post - I always like to see some imaginations at play. It caused me to dig out Solo Wargaming by Donald Featherstone, which is actually quite a fragmented book - just ideas if you like. Many play to the idea of the campaign and its narrative. It looks like I will have another campaign in development before too long.
