Yesterday the books came out-
There was much less info around thirty years ago and a big file of cuttings and articles was built up , now superseded by such printed sources as above. I am spoiled for information.So the question is , filled with the recent holiday enthusiasm ringing in my ears , do I try to take something Danish and Napoleonic forward..
Cons:
Lots of failed projects in this period, lots of half completed other work on the work bench from recently- Craigshire, VBCW Welsh Nationalists, Hawaiians etc etc, lack of energy and enthusiasm at times, a need to downsize my collections to spare my daughters later.
Pros: thirty years of being fascinated by the Napoleonic period in Denmark, bits and bobs which could be take forward, a now or never feeling, winters quarters are coming with indoor hobby rather than outdoor hobby work to the fore, ld like to have a go.
Currently wondering if my 25mm British/ Hanoverian civil war collection ( based for the Portable Wargame on 60mm square bases) and old school Minifigs/ Hincliffe and painted would provide the attackers and l could cobble together, adapt, possibly buy some Danish defenders. One base as a battalion. Portable Wargame or Volley and Bayonet as possible rules
Hmmm much to muse on. Any suggestions or advice?
It reads to me as if this has been a long cherished project so if this is the moment carpe diem. In this period if I wanted a smaller game I'd go with Sharp Practice 2, concentrate on new Danes and cobble together the opposition - you can always come back to them if and when you're happy with your new Danes.
ReplyDeleteSo, choose your rules, decide on what Danish figures you need, think about who might oppose them and make a start. If nothing else you will have enjoyed the planning and dreaming.
Bon chance,
Stephen
