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.
Lovely looking figures and I'm looking forward to seeing how the rules do !
ReplyDeleteThanks, so am I …

They look good: I remember the authors 'demoing' those rules at a show, maybe Partizan a year or two back (with 16th Scots, I think). They seemed pretty good, will be interesting to see how you get on with them.
ReplyDeleteI'm another who will be interested to learn how you get on with the rules as I've bought a set but never used them.

They looks good Alan.
ReplyDeleteAre you going to paint or flock your temporary bases?
