For King and Parliament has rules for "Forlorn Hopes", small bodies of shot told off to hod davancwe positions or difficult terrain; Each would have 2 bases of 2 figures.
Single bases could also be used to indicate "attached shot" use by some Horse regiments.
The singly mounted officers can be used to represent foot Colonels or "Gallant Gentlemen".
Never let spare figures go to waste - especially for a Scot! :-)
Nice work again Peter - we had both a Forlorn Hope units and a couple of attached Gallant Gentlemen in our FK&P game last Sunday, so I am sure these will all come in useful, and as you say, a good way of avoiding any waste, which is always close to we frugal Scots' hearts!

DeleteI had forgotten about the Gallant Gentlemen option. Lovely stuff Peter and a nice way to use up spare figures.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lawrence; I was a bit heavy on the Officer Corps, so that's one way to use them!
DeleteGood work, and nice use of those odd figures.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Richard!
