Two packages arrived on Friday containing the bulk of my miniatures order. I do still have some more coming, but I certainly have more than plenty to get started. I even got my Sprue Nipper, and it's totally not a wire-cutter. It has all kinds of special sprue nipping features.
These are the Moorish light cavalry which I will be using for the bulk of my Turkish units. I think I have more figures than I'll need, and may have just gone way over board. I really need to test out the game mechanics some more before I mount any of these guys on bases, I'd like to mount them in this scheme:
Turkish Horse Archers: 2 per stand
Turkish Lancers: 3 per stand
Mounted Knights: 4 per stand
Most Infantry: 6 per stand (although 7 or 8 might look better)
I need to test, because the number of figures per stand determines the number of attack rolls a stand gets (each stand can take 12 "hit points" of damage, which is recorded on a unit card).
I need to test whether the horse archers means of shooting and running is going to be effective enough to make having only 2 per stand.
Is it wrong that when you mentioned Moors, I immediately wanted to call name them Dudley, Roger, and Mandy, and say they were led by Ah-Choo?
ReplyDeleteActually, I think I should have said MOOPS
