    Ah, I suppose conflict era has to be taken into account...

    btw - saw a review for those Wargames Atlantic Guards and Villagers sets... those have a lot of potential...

    Hmm... only for Medieval gaming, really, and if you have an opponent who's a real historical purist you're going to have to be careful about inaccuracies in the clothing and armour. But if there's a review that advocates them for other purposes as well, by all means share with us - I'm happy to be proven wrong.

    (despite the apparent advantage of the attackers, number superiority is not always a guaranteed victory, especially if the defenders are elite, have superior cannon power and time on their side.
    It ended in a draw, but very fun game)

    Funnily enough, not long after I posted this initial response, I found someone from the WA Legion Facebook group had kitbashed the Villagers with Great Escape Games' Gunfighters sets to make some very convincing 19th Century civilians:
    [​IMG]

    Having had a look at a pic of the sprue, I have indeed noticed there are a fair few heads that would work nicely for 19th Century citizens, particularly the poorer members of society in those days, and even the bodies too. I can certainly say my interest in Steampunk gaming is piqued by these figures now...
