I purchased four of these booklets: Roman invasion, 1066, American Rev. and American Civil war... all are FANTASTIC!!! The detail of the drawings is incredible and you can print out any amount you want...just use the booklet as masters...

I just made my first 3 bases for the American Revolutionary War. I made a few beginner's mistakes, but it is really easy once you get the hang of it. And the figures look great! This is a really easy and satisfying way to make attractive 28mm armies without the trouble of painting and with very little expense.

I received the ECW book two days ago and I'm looking forward to making some units. The illustrations are just wonderful and I'll definitely purchase the War of the Roses and 1066 titles when they're available. I sincerely hope there will be other series beyond the "Battle for Britain" books. (Personally I'd love to see some 19th Cent. armies from the Franco-Prussian War, Austro-Prussian War of 1866, etc.) Lovely stuff! Thanks for the instructional video. :)

WysteriaGuitar if you take the Indians found in the AWI book and the French and British troops from the Spanish Succession book you can have a pretty good representation of the troops found in the French and Indian war.

WysteriaGuitar it is, by far, the best book in the series. You get a tone of soldiers, no rules or trees, just a ton of dudes and flags, it’s a really awesome book.

WysteriaGuitar you are welcome. Mr. Dennis has an entire line of Texas War of Independence figures, including a complete module of the Alamo on his website. They are really awesome. Best to you!

Waiting on the ACW set to come out later this year or early next. What are your thoughts on scaling the figures down? What I would like to do is scale them down to about 6mm size. Do you think they would be able to be scaled that small? Thanks.
@TC271276 жыл бұрын
They scale down fine I think the challenge is cutting them out when they are that small.

Absolutely fantastic Peter as ever. What is your advice regarding thickness of paper. Alternatively, with your previous 1745 paper soldiers, I used laminate sheet inbetween the paper to provide a bit of rigidity. What are your thoughts on it? Really look forward to getting a hold of these new soldiers :)
