As for serving in the ranks, Hampden's Regiment of Foote, also Greencoats, was much larger and better known, so trailing a pike you might have been! :-)Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-40404235657415980072019-03-10T23:41:24.629-04:002019-03-10T23:41:24.629-04:00Although a complete lack of horse-riding ability w...Although a complete lack of horse-riding ability would probably have saved me.

I lived in Buckinghamshire for a couple of years and thought the name John Hampden sounded familiar, I’m glad I wasn’t living there 350;years ago, as I might have been recruited with this lot.

The grid is uaully marked in a subtle rather than a bod fashion, such that it is (almost) invisible, except when you want to see it. A "box" is the term for a single cell (square) in the grid.

It really depends upon the "box" size. With 6" / 150mm boxes, only 2 x 60 or 80 mm wide stands will fit in a single line; also depth starts to become an issue with 2 ranks. I am strongly debating going to slightly larger 20mm/8" boxes for FK&P.<br /><br />"Dutch" units I deploy with 3 stands in a caracoling type column, so 9 figures each.<br /><br />With 200 mm boxes, I'd use three stands in a single line for "Swedish horse, and 4 stands in a double line for "Dutch". I may well do that for Historicon; not enough time to do that (and the tables are too small) for my planned game at Havoc in 4 weeks.
