Friend asked me to do his Pony Wars kit now that Baccus have taken it over. 

Three more 6mm Pony Wars sets done for my friend.

Why is there a Squeeze song going through my head.


Sneaking up on the cavalry

Heading out


Pairs


The Indians send signals from the rocks above the pass


The cowboys take position in the bushes and the grass


The squaw is with the corporal, she is tied against the tree


She doesn't mind the language, it's the beating she don't need


Threes


She lets loose all the horses when the corporal is asleep


And he wakes to find the fire's dead and arrows in his hats


Or something like that


Here we go


Sixes

Started off with the two bags of Native mounted figures. Over 200 of them!
72 in the first three bases of 24s.


Top view, had fun posing one stand at least


The rules suggest bases of up to 50! I went for breakable multiples such as 24.


Back view


Not the crisp view I was after, but you get the idea.


40 in five lots of 8s




Allowing for flexibility.


Scoot

Threes, ten bases making another thirty.


Moving quickly.

Twos, twelve of - standard size of US troopers, useful as small change for locals!

Damn, missed one! And one broke off his base, so he's Hollywood loss (insert Wilheim scream here).

33 ones (two were joined together and counted in the twos.

Almost a whole A4 of riders.

Black Powder 1870 Stats and Modifications

1870 Franco-Prussian Conflict in Black Powder Hi all, If you are reading this, it's because. like us, you are Black Powder fans and want to know how we manage the Franco-Prussian War. Anything below is by no way official, just the house rules we have developed over the last few years of playing. A few thoughts first: Fighting in the period is best described as hard fought assaults by Prussians, supported by superior artillery against superior but very strong defensive French lines. All ranges and movements are in cm scale, just to be awkward! All my forces are modelled on 3” square bases, apart from divisional commanders, skirmishers and artillery which have a frontage of 1½” and Corp commanders who are on a 2” base. Feel free to ignore that. My units are regiments of infantry,   brigades of cavalry and skirmish squadrons of cav. Artillery is either battalion as one gun, or a battery of two guns on a base, horse artillery have limbers attached. Army composition...

Hunting The Red Baron on the Dawn Patrol. Bit bigger than 25mm scale, but he will provide top cover for my Kindred WWI stuff. Yes, you have seen the flight stand before on my epic stuff. He's going so fast, the camera can't focus! "Curse you Red Baron!"   Two more Highlanders from the 80s, thanks to Brian up the road. Armed with two bottles or a sword, who is harder? More plaid Well hard! Top view   A chaos warrior It was free, and I've given it to a mate who runs a chaos armym=, hence th elack of basing as he will do it to his own style. Big chopp...
