A couple of posts ago I said I was going to try and not start anymore new projects until I get through some of the lead mountain, well suffice to say that my good intentions have flown out the window! A new project is on the cards but rather differently for me I am actually planning it out!!! I usually batter on with no real plan, adding units here and there and then lose interest and put it aside for something new, no plans and all over the place, but this one I have actually put some thought into it, good fro me!!!
I am starting out on a Thirty Years War project, have always fancied doing this but went down the ECW route instead, but now I am ready to give it a go, I am going to use The Assault Group figures as they have a good range of Germans, Swedes, Danish and Scots from the ECW range and they are lovely figures.
My aim is to do it in chunks, first phase 3 x 24 men infantry, 2 x 9 men cavalry and 1 gun and crew, when phase 1 is done, rinse and repeat a second then a third time, this will allow me to firstly get some units on the table to try out some different rule systems, then be able to game bigger battles then finally to game even bigger battles. As I will be doing both side it is a long term project with plenty to do and plenty to focus on.
Feeling very enthused by this project, plans are in place, first order will be in very soon and we can get this whole thing off the ground. Focus will be my usual problem but I really aim to give this a good go, fingers crossed!!!

TAG figures are superb. Good luck in your new project. I know I have some TAG units in my Italian Wars and ECW collections. The ECW figures are from TYW period and they are very nice. I think I have some leftovers too if you are need of a few figures.
ReplyDeleteI had looked at Empress as I have a lot of their ECW range but TAG just seemed to do it for me, many thanks for the kind offer, will let you know.
DeleteJon beat me to it - TAG are great figures, and from a "foreign" point of view, they have a very reasonable policy re postage - last time I bought some Reivers stuff from them, I only had to buy a bit less than £60 worth and postage to NZ was free!
ReplyDeleteAlways nice to see a firm doing good deals in these days, hear so many horrendous postage charges about. I really like the look of the TAG figures, looking forward to getting some soon!
