Old School Gondor and enemies

Getting round to basing some Mythical Earth figures bought earlier this year...

Ithilien Rangers

And yet more enemies...

This old school ,massed battle ,Mythical Earth gaming will be played with Ross's fantasy rules.
P.S to flock/static grass or not ,that is the question.Any thoughts?

Saturday morning in the KFC or will the Pennsylvanian Regt prevail?

Rules- Close Little Wars- adapted from Close wars
Conditions- Captain Jeremiah Finch to lead the Pennsylvanian Regt across the stream and exit across the enemy baseline. The Chief and his warriors to drive them back across the stream.

The respective start positions of both forces.

 The enemy await ...

A vicious melee ensues and the Captain leads his men onwards...

Outnumbered!

Fight for the hill!

The Pennsylvanians rout off the table!

Verdict- an enjoyable game,simple but effective rules. I will replay same/similar with different sets of rules.

Thanks,a question and the KFC

Thank you all for your kind and thoughtful comments to my last post as well as your thoughts and prayers.They were appreciated by us all . The day passed well all things considered and here we are now in September.
I  want to ask the collective blogdom a question- can you suggest old school rules for the French/Indian wars? I  have "Musket and Tomahawks" but would prefer something more "old school" in order to fight some  battles with around 60/70 figures aside.
I hope to do some gaming set in that corner of Pennsylvania known in the 18th century as the KFC- Karl Frederick County. A small corner of the colonies where people from the Duchy of Tradgardland have gone as colonists to start a new life.

Jan

This Tuesday coming (30th August) will be exactly a year since my wife Jan died. It has been quite a year but myself and the girls have got through it. Milestones have been passed and still to come (Anna's 21st next month) including the girls going off once more to university very soon. I miss my best friend dearly.
Hopefully more posts soon and some updates on my erratic hobby progress,at times recently my heart has just been in it .

On the workbench- 20mm Tradgardland bicycle infantry circa 1940

Suggestions sought for collective nouns for orcs...

I have been basing orcs of late-

I was wondering what would be a collective noun for orcs?

What do you think?Here's a rather lame starter- a snarl of orcs!

Time flies

Can't believe my youngest,Freya,is nineteen today!

Not traditional Tradgardland headgear by the way.
