I figured it was about time for another infrequent post to my blog. Recently I have been working on what could be called odds and ends. One of the things I really like about the Sharp Practice wargaming rules is the opportunity to tell stories within the overall scenario. I like to include civilians (farmers, towns people, etc), animals (farm animals and wild creatures) and miniatures that used together create vignettes. These could be objectives for the game or could just be there to enhance the scenery.

Nice Ed. Where's the blacksmith scene from?
ReplyDeleteThanks John. Those are Fife and Drum miniatures (Minden civilians, specifically). I'm using a number of this line for farm workers, msc civilians, etc.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember where I got the anvil from.
