Paper Armies

Here’s another project that I’m embarking on next year. War of Spanish Succession paper armies by Peter Dennis. They look great

Yes, they really do look good when seen 'in-person'. I saw a demo game using the first pre-release book a few years back when it came up to Stockton wargames show, certainly captured the imagination of the show-goers. With the additional releases of other periods and armies, plus the terrain book, these are certainly a good option to play out larger battles (or, even, smaller clashes). I've always been drawn to the Jacobite 1745, I believe there's a book from the same chaps on that conflict.

Me to. I’m considering doing the period in miniatures but toying with ideas currently. Drawn a bit to Baccus 6mm or Pendraken 10mm not sure yet. Even Warlord Games plastic 28mm are tempting me. Anyone have ideas on rule sets? I see Agema do a few. Any thoughts??

6mm and 10mm. This is where I pretend I don't have huge amounts of Pendraken ACW and Adler/Baccus Naps in my leadpile

I hardly ever get around to the actual gaming part of the hobby. Last game I played was a big WW2 game using Flames of War (not that I knew the rules), before that it was the Sudan using Black Powder (I like BP, as they're simple and easy to remember - but the other group members don't care for the rules). Had a very enjoyable game of To the Strongest! (Greeks versus Persians) using 6mm Rapier Miniatures.

Never used any of Agema's tabletop game rules, to be honest. Only reason being that I hardly ever play games, so don't own that many rules.

Blooming 'eck! Just noticed the last game I played was February 2018, and before that it was February 2017. I really don't play often

- None of the miniatures, or terrain are mine. I was only a guest player.

I agree. I hardly get the time to play face to face games. But I guess miniatures and tabletop games always appeal to me. I’m thinking of ordering two Baccus 6mm armies in the new year.
