Mustering for battle…

 Later today the Chinese will hopefully have their first battle. They have been mustering behind the battlefield ( being organised on trays for sorting out) and getting into units. The two armies represent the state of Chinese forces , old and new-


Above is the Green Dragon Army ( officers in green ) which is equipped with modern rifles. They are trained in Western tactics. Forward looking, tactically at least…



The two photos above show the Blue Dragon Army . They are equipped with antiquated muskets with a frame rests and also field units of spearmen . They are looking forward to showing the superiority of the old tactics.

Perhaps either or both sides may obtain some artillery along the way, only time will tell…let battle commence…

    1. It was great fun, we used “Big Wars “ by Stuart Asquith for rules with a wee tweak or two.

  7. Oh dear! I hope there are lots of Blue Dragons to give them a chance! Recycling perhaps?

    In any case, it'll be a colourful game!
