Moving forward

 

Most of the Hawaiian figures are painted and it was time to think of a game…

Eventually settled on 5cm square bases , figures stuck on with blue tack to allow their use in skirmish games.

Found some card and cut my 5cm square bases. Each base represents 25 - 150 men , depending on type , fighting as a distinct “ Company” as the rules call it.

Testing the basing size by drawing on paper, putting the figures on an leaving it. I came back and forward over the day to see if it would look better bigger or smaller.

The rules which l think should work well. They have a Polynesian army list btw..

The rules have period and locality flavour built in. All measurements are in units (u) which is the frontage of the company base, in my case 5 cm.
