Until recently, they were also among the least used, due to a lack of rules that I liked With "For King and Parliament" that changed, which prompted new additions. There have actually been quite a few ECW batreps on the blog the past few years, and I am eager to try FoB3 for the ECW as well!

I have very fond memories of my wargames club as a young teenager being invited into playing some games between stalwarts of the period. Gil and Dave had wonderful Minifigs and Hinchcliffe armies and even commanding the "E" class peasants was a thrill!Carlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17002425294986020268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-4176073879735829862020-08-09T16:58:17.319-04:002020-08-09T16:58:17.319-04:00Thanks, and an amusing story; no I cannot imagine ...Thanks, and an amusing story; no I cannot imagine New Yorkers being that accommodating!Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-54298000301791632212020-08-09T16:49:03.669-04:002020-08-09T16:49:03.669-04:00It is a delight to see your paint work.

Reminds me when half a dozen roundhead re-enacters with all their gear stowed in see-through mesh bags boarded the underground in London off somewhere to a battle. The passengers waited patiently and cheerfully for them to stow their pikes on the floor under our seats. Nobody grumbled. Somebody held the doors for them so we stayed motionless in the station until all was done. Can you imagine rude New Yorkers so accommodating? Ho ho. Not in a million years.StarPasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18043338144180386591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-332853875944521172020-08-06T18:44:31.681-04:002020-08-06T18:44:31.681-04:00My troops are almost certainly more "uniform&...My troops are almost certainly more "uniform" in their dress than was the case in reality, but there certainly was a lot of variability in costume during this era!Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-65005619725023215752020-08-06T18:30:30.969-04:002020-08-06T18:30:30.969-04:00Very cool unit, Peter.
